Action Sequence

 For this assignment, I recorded an action sequence using multiple shots and angles of a student leaving class, getting water, and riding the elevator. The goal was to only use one camera but to make it look like there are multiple to catch the actor's movement. It was important that when we recorded, that the actor walked past the camera. Here's what we did 


I then was recorded leaving class to get water and walking down the stairs. take a look at the outcome!

My favorite 5

One of my favorite songs is "Be Alive" by Beyoncé. "Be Alive" is one of my favorites because it expresses freedom. The melodies, riffs and runs are so smooth in the song. "Be Alive" was released on November 12th, 2021 for the "King Richard" movie. "King Richard" was a movie based on famous tennis players Serena Williams and Venus Williams. 




"Mercedes" by Brent Faiyaz is another one of my favorite songs. This song was released December 3rd, 2021. This song is a favorite because its so smooth, calm and relaxing. I usually listen to this song when I'm driving at night alone. 















My all time favorite song is "Closer" by Goapele. This song is also very relaxing to me. This song is 20 years old. It was released September 10th, 2002. how ironic that this is my favorite song and it was released the same year I was born. 
















"BLACK EFFECT" by the Carters (Jay-Z and Beyoncé) is a favorite song because it simply makes me feel strong and confident. In 2018 I actually seen Jay-Z and Beyoncé preform this song in Atlanta Georgia at the Mercedes Benz Stadium. This concert was the best concert I've ever been to. I like to say that it was worth every penny. 









"Hold On" by a group named The Internet released this song in the summer of 2018. When I hear this song it puts me in the mind of summer days on the beach. I do plan to see them in concert one day. Not only is this my favorite song by The Internet, they're also my favorite music group. Their music is very soft and relaxing. If you ever in need of a clear mind or in need of relaxing, The internet would be a good group to have a back ground music.
