AICE Media Studies Blog

  This is the first day of editing for my group film project for my media studies class. I am very excited to get into the editing of the film and I think we have very interesting film idea. The first thing that we had to do upon finishing filming was upload all the files and name/organize them in a file. We then went on Facetime with the group and discussed the various way the film could pay out and where we could make scenes fit into the film. As we did not film all of the story board we originally planned to. Just  being cut from the production because we felt they were unnecessary, or we didn't have time to shoot the scenes. Once we had our scene placement, we had to discuss how each scene would transition into the next. This proved to be one of the hardest parts of the editing because it really does make or break your film . Having fluent and non choppy transition is very important. I then went through each clip scoping for imperfection that would have to make us ref...

 On my third day of filming, we had to film at birch state park. We first had to go to my groupmates camera afterschool. We could only do it on that day before the park closes when it gets late. We had several scenes to film at birch state park. Once I had gathered all the necessary equipment and tool for filming. I packed up and went to Katie's house once I got there we immediately started getting to work. Once I arrived we had to wait for the rest of the group to arrive. while waiting my group decided to plan and advice a plan on exactly what we are going to include in each shot. As well as how we should film them. Once we had devised a plan we gathered up all our equipment. Once the rest of my groupmates arrived. we headed down the park near Katie's house (birch state) in the golf cart. we know we had to start to hurry before it gets to dark and hard to film. Once we get to the park we realize that we forgot the knife prop. We then had to go all the way back to the necessary...

I opted to do the remaining half of filming today after filming all of my outdoor sequences at Birch state Park. All of my actors who had been in today's scenes were summoned. For the scenes taped today, I just wanted 2 of my group contributors, Addison and katie, in addition to myself. because my group and that i didn't have school today, we discussed and agreed to come back over at 11 a.m. so katie may want to start filming early. I went via the motions of having my performers into their costumes and make-up as common. only Addison, who performed Ashley, and that katie,who performed Megan, were required these days. I was the video photographer. I got stuck in traffic. As a result, Katie and my group mates commenced filming Ashley getting ready for her date with Noah. regardless of having a few filming know-how, it was to start with difficult for katie to perfect the lights and angles. I helped on the phone to take many pictures of every scene's motion. due to the fact we ...

 On my First day of filming I had to devise a plan with my group in order to meet up after school and film. We decided that Friday was the best day to film. Once I got out of school on Friday I went back over to my house to grab the necessary equipment in order to film. I then headed to my group member Katie's house. We wanted to film the extra parts of the film that include the background of a news caster telling about the recent serial killer, which is our main antagonist in the film. My group member Mya filmed the newscaster clips and sent them over to me and my other group members. We then used the video to cast to the TV to appear as if this was foreshadowing the plot of the film. Then once we were done with that special scene we decided to move on to other parts of the film. As we were setting up for the next scenes. I realize that my camera is running low on battery. My group members and I did not have much time when filming as it was Friday night and most of us had plans. S...

 On this day, we could not film. We discussed several ways to try to make it work. However it was quite rainy outside and my group could not make it work to get over to my group members house. So we decided that we would get the necessary props and equipment together so that we are ready. One of the first things that we needed to get together was fake blood. My group members were in charge of getting that prop. I needed to decide what I would be wearing as the killer in the film. I decided that a all black outfit with a black hoodie would make me appear thee most as the killer. This it he very stereotypical outfit for killers in music. The next thing that I had to make sure was ready for the film. Was prepare for the actual technology in order to film. I rounded u my camera and started charging it. I then had to figure out how the light would effect how the camera would look. I adjusted the light settings because we knew that we would be filming in the evening. Once I was done with...

 This is the first production blog in the making of the film. My group decided that we would start with the details of our film. My group members and I figured out the location of our scenes in the film. Several of the scenes are located next to group mate Katie's house. Most of scenes will be captured in the TV room of Katie's house. The rest of the production will be filmed in surrounding local state park, a main street/road, and a playground. Despite the previous blogs, I feel that several aspects and details in the production blog were left out. I will be performing the role of Noah, who is a mysterious killer. I also will be the camera man for most of the production. When playing the role of Noah I will be dressed in all black, hoodies and pants. I will use the accessories such as a weapon, a mask, other threating items , Camera, lighting equipment. This all together will make it easier for the audience to distinguish my character. I am learning and practicing camera shots...
