We found our distinct style and form through learning techniques on new tools. We also learned how to create technical work through professional tools and software. The diverse array of skills I&#8217;ve developed during this unit will be very helpful in future projects to create to my full potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">English\/Digital Media<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Art Reflection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soon after my introduction to the world of Freestyle, we took a trip to SF MoMA, where we were given the opportunity to observe many different kinds of art and analyze them with more thought than we&#8217;d usually do. We picked out a favorite piece, took a good photo of it, and then reflected on what made it stand out to us, using the topic of &#8220;awe&#8221; to define our feelings for the art we saw.  In Digital Media, we learned how to use audio recorders and Premiere Pro tools to create a video with a voiceover of our reflection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"709\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnabelleB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bush_Anabelle-PP-Art-Reflection-Video-1024x709.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnabelleB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bush_Anabelle-PP-Art-Reflection-Video-1024x709.png 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnabelleB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bush_Anabelle-PP-Art-Reflection-Video-300x208.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnabelleB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bush_Anabelle-PP-Art-Reflection-Video-768x532.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnabelleB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bush_Anabelle-PP-Art-Reflection-Video.png 1155w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Behind the scenes of my Art Reflection Video!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I appreciated the opportunity to think on meaningful art pieces, and learn how to use Premiere functions,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parody Production<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"audioButton paused\" id=\"audio1Button\" onClick=\"toggleAudio1()\">\n<h4 class=\"audioButtonPlay\">\u25b6 PERFORMANCE<\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"audioButtonPause\">\u23f8 PERFORMANCE<\/h4>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"audioButtonCover\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnabelleB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/AnabelleB-Parody.jpg\" alt=\"Click here to play\/pause audio\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<audio preload=\"auto\" id=\"audio1\">\n        <source src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnabelleB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Parody-by-AnabelleB-2025.mp3\" type=\"audio\/mp3\">\n<\/audio>\n<script src=\"\/Scripts\/audioButton1.js\"><\/script>\n<style>\n@import url(\"\/styles\/audioButton.css\");\n.audioButton {\n\tbackground-color: #f00;\n\tborder: 2px #000 solid;\n\tmax-width: 250px;\n           float: left; \/* or right *\/\n           margin-right: 20px; \/* separates from text *\/\n}\n<\/style>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Parody Project was my first experience with professional production. I got to write my own lyrics, hop in a recording booth, and then edit my audio professionally with Adobe Audition. I wanted to make something fun, silly, and relevant-so I made my song about performative males, a stereotype that was gaining popularity at the time of writing this song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My parody is about the trend of \u201cperformative males\u201d, which is a stereotype describing men who do certain, stereotypical feminine actions they believe will impress women, like drinking matcha, wearing certain clothing, listening to specific music, and more. I did this to the song Ghostbusters because it\u2019s catchy, fun to sing to, and popular enough for people to recognize that the song is a parody.&nbsp;<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I struggled a lot with figuring out my idea for this song. At first, I tried to think of over-specific topics, like the meme of a Victorian child trying a Sour Patch Kid, or getting trapped in a sinister Ikea. I wrote lyrics to both of these ideas, but they fell flat. I had a spark of inspiration late at night, and wrote my lyrics for a performative male version of Ghostbusters, and I was having such a good time humming along that I knew this was the one. This process, as frustrating as it was, was actually very fun for me, as I got to stretch to my creative limit and indulge myself in a project that appealed to my sense of humor and fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My lyrics are pretty joking, mocking the trend of performative males. While it isn\u2019t serious in any sense, I do think there is a weird stigma around certain stereotypes that really don\u2019t mean anything, like being a man and listening to Laufey. While doing it JUST to impress a woman is very excessive, which my song makes fun of, I\u2019d honestly rather have someone put on a show to impress me instead of someone being a jerk to my face. I\u2019m really proud of my effort and sound. I think I managed to sound good and professional, and maintain the vibe of the original song, while still making it sound goofy and parody-like. My harmonies aren\u2019t perfect and I honestly just sang whatever I felt like, which helped it feel more fun for a listener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parody Lyrics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(Performance!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve got male friends that you can\u2019t endure<br>Whatcha gonna do?

In the moment, I could do what I was told, but it was very difficult to retain the information of all the different functions, buttons, and abilities of the camera, and how to use them. I was okay with depth of field-I understood focus well and was able to apply it to different contexts. Night photography was a bit more difficult for me, though. I struggled with messing with the exposure, and couldn&#8217;t make my photos blur in a meaningful way, However, as the rest of the concepts began to click into place, with White Balance and ISO being very comprehensible to me, I realized that I probably just needed practice. I&#8217;m still working on the skills, but I truly believe I have improved in my skills and have become a better photographer from this experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">Film<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our conceptual section in film started with learning the most basic skills of a fimmaker\u2013how to deal with exposure and focus on our cameras, and how to edit in Premiere Pro. We had a little scavenger hunt project, where we familiarized ourselves with types of camera angles and functions. Our first real, individual project was the Experimental Films, where we were given a vaguely nonsensical statement, starting with \u201cthe feeling of __\u201d and had to utilize visual techniques to project that feeling onto a viewer.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experimental Film &#8211; OTIOSE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"545\" height=\"409\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnabelleB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/output-ezgif.com-crop.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-97\" style=\"width:376px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was the statement I had to work with and convey through experimental film techniques.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"25 26 p1 Experimental AnabelleB\" width=\"584\" height=\"329\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fXzzVKT2XS8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"501\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnabelleB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot-2025-12-08-at-2.29.42-PM-1024x501.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-95\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnabelleB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot-2025-12-08-at-2.29.42-PM-1024x501.png 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnabelleB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot-2025-12-08-at-2.29.42-PM-300x147.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnabelleB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot-2025-12-08-at-2.29.42-PM-768x376.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnabelleB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot-2025-12-08-at-2.29.42-PM.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This screenshot contains the Premiere Pro project file for my Experimental Film.

To the bottom left is where all my files are-the raw videos that would eventually be cut up and edited to create the final product. The timeline, taking up the rest of the bottom part of the screen, was where all the actual cutting and editing took place.

We got to have fun trying to tick off as many as possible before our time ran out, and then got to edit the video as a group, exposing us to collaborative film work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"25 26 p1   Green Screen Shots   Greenscreen Disaster   Anabelle\" width=\"584\" height=\"329\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bF0I_dzX108?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With our Green Screen exercise, we learned about Chroma Keying and how the green screen worked, unlocking a helpful tool for editing.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"25 26 p1   Double Exercise   Plurality   Anabelle B\" width=\"584\" height=\"329\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/igH7ikzTCaU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DoubleMint exercise exposed us to another kind of editing-video cropping.
