Group member: Brainstorm

 My group which who are Shade Erickson, Xavier Pennyman, Samuel Saurez, Xavier Baptiste(me) and we all started from movie clips and then be based on that or based on a iconic parts for example a kid having problems in school, social life, economics, etc. We also though of the movie Whiplash because shade he is a very good drum player and we could use him in many parts, so we ended picking out that and grabbing and of course making changes to have our own unique and still symbolizing way of whiplas.

Mood Board (Writing Section)

    The genre of the Pirates of the Caribbean is an Action/Adventure movie as well as the topic of the dead man chest is to have power of the seas from Davy Jones. This correlates with the theme of "The Dead Man's Chest." Captain Jack being lost of who he is and what he wants. One of the most important parts of this is how the compass can help provide information of what jacks wants, which indeed he has no idea of what he's achieving for, as well as another scene were jack wanted a bigger crew to give the souls to Davy Jones to get back is his former associate will turner.   
   The creation of the mood board is to show how the compass repeatedly is shown and how it can influence on Jack's story, for example when given the compasses to Will Turner future wife (Elizabeth Swann) it mixed to where she wanted to save herself and her husband to have beautiful life without the life of being a pirate, but then changed to wanting jack when looking for the chest on the little island that Davy Jones heart lays at rest in the chest. 
   Some conventions that the movies show to the theme of the Pirates of the Caribbean: dead man chest is mostly shown of the compasses were the compasses follows your true desire and where it seems to jack its broken because jack has no idea what he wants. This interests me in the view how most of the movie is where jack looks for the heart of a dead man's chest to rule the seas when the compasses show he has no desire of anything major.

The perception

My Thoughts  

 
When we had been assigned this assignment at first I wondered how we were going to do certain camera angles for example overhead shot or birds eye view, but then I was explained I could to it at home; yet having these difficult shot the over head shot wasn't has hard it seemed, so we did it and it of course could have been better, but my favorite one yet.  


 
An issue I had was that I was a bit rushed since my friend or partner had to leave early and I wouldn't be able to do the assignment and another issue we had is that all the pictures were from a phone, so some angles were very difficult

My first day!🙌

My name is Xavier my government name is Xavier Dean Baptiste I am taking AS Media Studies because this will help with future purposes for learning more technically things especially if I want to to be in UTI ( University Technical Institute); Another reason of taking this class is that is to pursue what I would want to do in my future or see if my perception will change.   

What I hope to outlook in this class is that to help me learn new things not things I already know about, I also hope to recall things when I become older that I am able to remember these certain things especially in this day and age were technology is found to be very vital and used for a lot of things.
