All about me!

 I'm Giovannia Andrews but I'm most referred by gio. Friends, teachers, co-workers, everyone pretty much calls me gio because it's what I feel most comfortable as. I'm 17 turning 18 in October and the fact that I don't know what I'm doing for it shows the type of person I am. I am truly indecisive and can never make up my mind unless its one of my passions. One thing I am truly passionate about is my fire training. Ever since the summer before 8th grade I realized that college wasn't for me and I made the decision to go the technical route. 

When I first decided I wanted to go the technical route it was firstly the paramedic way. Helping people is what I'm passionate about and since med school was a no I chose emergency medicine. I became a fire explorer because in order to become a paramedic in south Florida you have to also be a firefighter unless you work in the private sector. I have been a fire explorer for 2 and a half years training so when I make it to fire academy I succeed. Being a woman makes it harder for training like that but I know I can pass. 

Another thing I love is The Weeknd the artist or by his name Abel Tesfaye. I started listening to him in 2014 and became a fan in 2016. I love him and he is a big part of my identity. Whenever I had no one to listen to me or just needed peace I found myself listening to him and now he is who I am. 

I love to travel because I don't like staying one place for long. My favorite places visited would be London and Italy. The people were nice and it felt the most like America. I love meeting new people because it helps me gather new friends which is why I have so many international friends. I'm all about friendship because it brings me happiness that loneliness cannot. 

My life isn't perfect. I am a huge advocate for mental health and sexual assault. It is a huge part of who I am and what I stand for. I don't like people who don't understand mental health. Going through what I have has left me independent and resilient. Every thing I have been through has led me to where I am and why I am me.

The editing of the production.

Image
 Hey, Hey, welcome back! After recording it was time to piece everything together. The editing app was decided to stick to Capcut. While editing I didn't want to have to learn a new software so Capcut was the best choice. I was already familiar with it so it just made everything simpler.  When deciding on the song we needed one that fit the vibe and when editing I decided to use the semi beginning of the song. The beginning of the song had too much intro while I wanted it straight to the point. I overlapped it a bit though so that it didn't just roughly go into the song without somewhat of an intro. While filming I didn't take into consideration the time limit as I should have. Some of the videos were pretty long in seconds so I had to cut it down. Having to edit some of each clips to 10 seconds or less without getting the main subject out. I also had to cut videos into two and put them together to cut the middle out as it wasn't important. With the video I had to cut i...

Planning blog: Location, participants, health, and schedule

Welcome back to my blog!  Today I'm going to go even further into the planning of how my group's opening scene came to be. Although planning this was so fun, there was also a lot of layers to it. I'll start by talking about our location. When first discussing about our location, we knew that it would have to be somewhere of a location region as well as a mall where people visit frequently. After conversing about it  we decided on Sawgrass Mall. We were satisfied with that at first the realized that we had an issue.  What we wanted to do would require us to be in a smaller and more confined room. After realizing that, we decided to back on the scratch board and make some compromises. With only a few minutes of deliberating, we decided to use a groupmates' house. With our location confirmed everything seems set.  So far we have all of our scenes set, assigned roles, and our location. Some of the things we're still looking into are the props we will need. With this bei...

Production blog; Filming

 Welcome back!!!!!  Now as stated in the previous blog some hardships were faced. One that I didn't mention was group disagreements. When in a group sometimes tension can run high and be difficult with working with each other. Now even though filming went ok it could have been better. I stated the scheduling made a lot of things difficult which led to some arguments. Now these arguments led tension that were not hashed out until the day of filming. While filming, I wanted our acting to be beyond surface level. This was impossible with the anger that was fueling the room. To be able to film I had to get everything off of the table. Two members weren't seeing eye to eye and in order to not show it while recording a discussion was prompted. After talking it all out, it was a better place to film.  While filming (part two) While filming, it was done in my house and I wanted everything perfect. To have a lot of the scenes authentic, I put a movie in the background so in the sc...
