 Hello! My name is Nathaly Gisel Cabrera-Hernández but that’s a mouthful, so it’s just Nathaly or Nat. I am 17 year-old Salvadorian-Mexican hispanic female. I was born here the great United States however, my first language was spanish. I know english and I'm in the process of learning French. My goal in life has always been to go to collage, I’ve loved school since I was a kid and have always been interested in studying law. Most recently, it has been a difficult time for me in school, balancing everything like work and, but I haven’t given up. My dream as a kid, and even before getting into high school has been to work as a forensic scientist or a crime scene investigator. However, for several reasons, my path of pursuit has changed and I’ve decided to achieve what could have been my mother's career, as a lawyer. As a kid I disliked lawyers, I could never see myself working on a case while sitting at a desk, to me, working outside in the field was my motivation. Although the ...

AICE Media CCR: Podcast

Hey guys welcome to my podcast, Beyond the Surface: Dive Deep with Nat.  This exclusive podcast is part of my creative critical reflection on the film me and my team created “Cold Case.”  So a question that had been pending. “How does your product use or challenge conventions?” Well let me answer that. My group decided that the film would be a thriller but while researching what makes a movie a thriller it features seemed to clash a bit, which raised the question to me, what makes a movie a thriller? The difference lay in the conventions of both genres. Conventions refer to what makes a film easily recognizable and define it into its specific genre, props, characters, plot and lines can be indicators of that.  In our film, I created the blood that was used as one of the props for the film, and although blood is feature usually seen in horror films, it’s intended purpose was more for the credits and for one of the scenes mostly to allow the viewer to understand what was ha...

      Well hello again dear reader! Everything seems to be in order with the movie. Maybe even an upcoming Hollywood hit? I doubt it, but we’ve tried our hardest nonetheless. The journey so far has been fun but it is still far from done.  I’ve been rewatching the movie, fearful to have missed some angles, I asked my goof friend, Stanley, for advice on which had been done in his movie. My fears were put to rest however, when I found out everything was perfect. All I want is for this final task to be a good one. There’s so much I’ve learned along the way and I’m sure my team and fellow classmates would agree. The opening sequence we created was a collective effort, of ideas, scratched out thoughts and successful pitches. Not everything was kept the same, but has something always been the same in our story. History, science and English, thought us that the process of what we create now do not always stay the same. Change however, has no reason to be something negative...
