AICE Media Studies

 Welcome back to another post guys! Today,  I'm here to update you on the next portion of our commercial project. As a group, Yasmin, Andres and I chose to advertise EXTRA gum. However, before beginning the filming, or even the brainstorming process, we had to figure out what gum commercials typically entail. To do this, we decided to watch some gum commercials to get an idea of what we want to do for our commercial. Interestingly, we found that each commercial portrayed a theme of community.     The first commercial we watched featured a team of baseball players siting in the locker room after a long, tiring game. They were all feeling defeated as they had lost, but one player took out a pack of gum. The gum was passed around, and the players' moods began to change. This gum was able to bring the team back together after a defeating loss, strengthening their bond. This theme of community was most obviously shown through the editing techniques used. The directors use...

            Welcome back! As you probably remember from my previous post, I have a small group of friends who like to give me nicknames. But, this really doesn't tell you much about them, so allow me to properly introduce who are  my team members for the AICE Media Studies projects -  Andres Santana and Yasmin Harebin. If you are wondering why I chose these two specifically, it is because I have known them for a very long time. More directly, I am very comfortable working with the two of them because, not only do we work well together, but I have worked with both of them on projects before. I met Yasmin in the first grade and we have been very close ever since. While our personalities are contrastive, our work ethic is similar and equally driven. This can cause us to go head-to-head at times, but it also means we can often come up with a much stronger idea together than individually. Yasmin and I get along well outside of school as well and I...

     My name is Giulia and I am the creator of this blog! For my first post, I would like to introduce myself and tell you a little bit about me as a person. A few things about me, I love to bake, journal, and listen to music in my free time - sometimes all at once. My favorite band is "Beach Bunny", even though the band isn't the genre of music I listen to the most. I am employed at Publix, and the money I earn is how I pay for my Spotify premium, which I use to listen to music. I love to listen with headphones because it puts me in another world and fully immerses me. In fact, I spend more than half of my day with headphones on, if my dog doesn't interrupt. I own one dog, Andy, but I wish I also had a cat and snake because they're my favorite animals. However, I can't own either of the two because my dad is allergic to cats and my mom wouldn't want to feed the snake live mice. Speaking of my parents, both of them are from Italy - along with the rest of m...
