Film Intro Planning / Storyboarding

 I worked together with my classmate Ghita for this film intro. We struggled at first, trying to come up with a fictional idea for our intro. However if you recall, in the beginning of the year before "The Ginge" was made, the original idea was a hitchhiker murder. We decided to take this idea and create another version of it, giving it a sci-fi twist.
Ghita and I decided to have a similar base to the original hitchhiker idea: Someone gets picked up on the side of the road, unsettling dialogue, and some thing is revealed by the end. We wanted to do something with an alien.
Aliens are typically depicted as these intelligent life forms that can sometimes even shape-shift. That is what we were going for. The story is as follows:

As Ghita is driving through a wooded area- a shortcut to her current destination if you will- she spots Kennie(?) emerging from the trees. She stops and questions why she is there, in which Kennie replies in a disorientated and odd way. Although it's nothing too much to throw Ghita off. Ghita then invites Kennie into her car as she begins to ask questions such as: "where were you going?"
Kennie kept her answers short and awkward, slowly gaining the suspicion of Ghita as when Ghita asks a question about Kennie's sister, Kennie doesn't know what she's talking about- or rather who.
Ghita is unsettled but gave her attention to the road, before hearing some 'other worldly' sounds coming from Kennie. She turns her head, and an alien is staring back at her.

What is Media?

 In class the other day, we had a discussion on what IS media exactly. Media is something that has a different definition for everyone, as it's purpose varies depending on the person.

Some view it as purely entertainment, or maybe as a source for information. Whatever the case is, everyone has a unique perspective. By definition, it is the mass communication that reach large numbers of people e.g. television, newspaper, and radio.

Media for me is terms of everything. I educate myself with media, but I also use media for entertainment. Media is an endless vacuum of different possibilities, and I use it as such.
