Introducing Me!

    Hi if your new here my name is Sophia Pollock! I am 16 almost 17 and I am a junior at Fort Lauderdale High School. I grew up in Florida and still live here to this day. I have 3 sisters and all of our names start with the letter S. I have a pretty big family and a bunch of dogs. I also have a small black cat who loves to scratch at my door in the middle of the night. I love to bake treats for my dogs and play with them. Sometimes my sisters and I will make cookies out of pumpkin, applesauce, peanut butter and oats. One time my dad ate a cookie from the fridge, but said he actually liked it! All my life I have been around water. I can still remember learning how to swim when I was a toddler. I have so many memories of taking family trips to the keys and the Bahamas, these were some of the best times of my life. I love to go on the boat, but not just for the ride. I love tubing and fishing, swell as snorkeling. I was a swimmer in middle school for 3 years and I was pretty good. Although I didn't really like competing because I couldn't handle the pressure. I quickly quit swimming when high school began. My favorite subject in school is reading and writing, this year I am taking AP English Composition. I have always favored reading over math, because it just clicks the way that math does for others. I joined a journalism class this year so that I could do more writing and share my thoughts with the world. I recently wrote a restaurant review of a small nearby family owned cafe. I love the accomplished feeling you get once something is published. This year has been tough, being that it is junior year, and I am scared for exams and future deadlines. However I am excited to seek out new opportunities and learn new things!

Editing Blog: Editing The Music Video

Image
 Today Allison and I edited together the music video! This was the final step to our music video process and marked an end to all of the work we had done. We used the app Imovie to put all of the scenes together, we did this in class and used Allison’s phone. We had previously recorded all of the clips on Allison’s phone so this was the most convenient option. I began adding the scenes to the app to have an outline of our video. Allison helped me crop the clips so that they would line up with the music perfectly. It was challenging making all the clips match up with the music perfectly and I did have some frustrations along the way. For some scenes I had trouble matching the lip syncing, but after a few tries I was able to make it look flawless! Creating a split screen for the phone call scene seemed impossible, but with some research and the help of my group mates I was able to create a split screen! Allison gave me many suggestions while editing and I greatly appreciated her help...

Introducing My Group Mates!

Image
 My group is very similar to the group I had for my previous music video, although there are some changes. We decided to add a new member to the group from a different class period, her name is Jade. My group now consists of me my good friend Allison, Darrow, and Jade. Allison and I have been friends since middle school and have worked together on many projects and assignments. On our last project Allison was very helpful and took on a lot of the responsibility she picked upon Darrow a few times and allowed us to film at her house. Without her we who knows what we would've done. Allison also helped me a lot when it came to filming, she gave me many ideas without forcing them upon me. We are able to work well together because we have a good relationship. Darrow is another friend that I have known since middle school. Darrow is not as reliable as Allison, although he is a good friend. Last project Darrow played the male role, and we will need him again to play another male leading ro...

Lets Get Filming!

Image
 Today we got lots of filming done! Yesterday was not as accomplished as we spent a lot of time trying to figure out the right place to film. But today we were able to all meet at one place at the same time ready to film. All of the actors quickly got dressed and I went to set up props again. Darrow's parents were not home this day so I had to set up the props by my lonesome without his Moms help. Luckily everything still looked perfect! Once everyone was dressed we had to continue with the scenes. I had the storyboard out and placed the actors where they needed to be. With the help of my friend Eva I would position the actors and she would look through the camera telling me left, right, forward, back, to get the perfect shot. We began filming where we left off, which was Giada aka Jade walking out the door after saying bye to her father. I had to go outside and film Jade walking through the door. I followed the storyboard very closely and made sure to capture the angles that I had...
