Intro Blog

 Hello, my name is Max Siska and I am in the 10th grade. I chose media studies this year as one of my electives. I thought it would be nice to try something different and interesting to me. I think trying something different can be very refreshing and get me somewhere in life. Also, I really like films. To begin with, crime and comedy are my favorite. The crime genre is very cool to me and they always leave so much suspense. I love being on my toes during movies/shows. I also like comedy because it gets me laughing and in a good mood. But that's not it, I really like short films and old-timer movies, like stuff your dad would watch. My dad shows me all of these old movies that are in black and white. Many may think right off the bat those films are bad but in reality, they are the best-produced ones. The actors and directors were way better back in the day than now in my opinion. But I could be overthinking it, nowadays the movies are always so on point and always end up being hits. Back then most movies would be so underrated. That's always a good thing though because some movies should just stay secrets so they don't get overplayed. I really wish movies were made the same now. The old movies just gave me so much joy. But then again the new movies are nice. Anyway, that's all I have to say about myself hopefully this made someone want to watch old films.

 The recording cycle was long and troublesome. all through the recording, we all were cold and freezing in view of the ongoing climate. However, we as a whole figured out how to get through and complete it. this task was by a long shot the most troublesome one to film with all the parts being careful. We needed to experience various preliminaries and bombed scenes. The closure result gave us precisely what we sought after and arranged. with us, all being depleted and exhausted before its finish. During shooting, we had numerous bloopers and errors that we needed to disregard, and ultimately, we had the option to get through. We experienced a lot of issues with the cold and the pool with it being freezing. When we got inside the house we were so happy to be warm and had the option to finish recording how we would have preferred to.
