      For our filming today we went to the vending machines to find out that it is out of service during school time. We went to the other vending machine by the auditorium to find it working but there were no sprite bottles, unlike the other ones that were out of service underneath the media center during school hours. We found a security guard that was going to close down that vending machine. We asked if they could open the other one for us to get the sprite but they refused. We also asked in the cafeteria but there were no Sprite sodas. We decided to buy another soda and film as backup but film again another day with the sprite bottle. I had an idea of either staying after school or before school but because Naturelle rides the bus we had to find an alternative, I suggested that I buy the sprite after school.  With the other soda, we filmed our scenes. First, we started with me grabbing the bottle and taking a sip while stepping forward with the lines of "for a r...

  My group is doing a SPRITE commercial, the audience usually includes people buying the soda or seen already drinking the soda -they wear costumes that are casual outfits, that align with the color of the drink(green, yellow, white and lime green ) - Props include a Sprite soda can or bottle, glass doors refridgerator or vending machine -their appearance is usally relaxed and cheerful -the score through commercials has the fasted clicking and hissing, bubbling sound when the can opens, which is meant to make the sudience feel refreshed. Conventional and codes in Sprite commercials include the logo lemon-lime to represent the flavor of the beverage, with an added slogan of “Freedom Of Thirst”. This helps connect the soda to the idea that Sprite is a refreshing drink. In the commercial, the props are ALWAYS angled to show the logo and colors of the Sprite bottle or can. Sprite has a unique collaboration of colors, so when the audience sees the bottle or can, they know it’s a Sprite ...

 I have teamed up with Naturelle. We met in media studies class, she became my friend from sitting by me. We decided to team up because we were comfortable with each other and trusted each other with our grades. I feel like I could explain my ideas to her as she shares her ideas with me and we can build them together. We contact each other when we have questions for each other. Sometimes we're confused about assignments so we ask if we understood the assignment and can we provide assistance to each other. She is a good worker, she cares about her grades just as much as I do which is another reason I chose to partner up with her. We communicate well and we trust and support each other! On the first day we decided to team up we had a conversation on the phone about our ideas and what we mainly wanted from the projects we were going to do in class. We seem to have a lot in common when it comes to goals. The teacher explained the project to us before so we had an idea of what we were g...

 Hello, I am Nurdlie Luberice! My hobbies are mainly dancing, drawing, watching documentaries and I recently started playing the flute. I enjoy watching crime and research documentaries the most. I joined the band at the beginning of this school year, 2021-22. I am a beginner in a flute! I joined Media Studies because I wanted to take my own self-portraits but it was personally difficult to learn about photography online: the cost and the pace. I wanted to make my own self-portrait as a hobby to get comfortable with cameras. In the summer I wanted to buy a camera but I did not know how to use a camera. Plus the world was on quarantine there were limited places open to experiment with. When I found out my school offers media studies I instantly wanted to take the course. It was a relief because I get to participate in projects with other students. There is a teacher to guide me unlike if I were to teach myself online personally. I hope to have a good time learning in media studies!...
