AICE Media Studies

    Good morning and good evening! I have in fact finished the second goal from last time. We made a plan to meet up for this weekend, when my parents will be gone. My sister will drive me. Fun fact: she can actually drive well, she does it better then my stepdad. But he is also half blind so I think my unlicensed self might drive better then him. The only thing that can go wrong is my parents put the dogs on me and my sister. But I talked it out with her and she's fine watching them while everything goes on. Truthfully, the worst part of this whole thing is the food. Okay that sounds bad however me and my sister can't cook so she's been ordering takeout. Unhealthy but I'll live till Monday. I have also been working on editing everything we DO have. Like the sick scene and the theater scene. I think it's been patched together nicely if I do say so myself, and I do say. All I need to add to those scenes is atmosphere and that is something I can well. It'll be gre

    Good morning and good evening! Uh this past week has been hectic. My sister went to my tio's for spring break, she's in collage and has it before me. I didn't know this so it puts a damper on my filming plans. This is not even mentioning what has been going on with my parents. Apparently they'll be in Boston for my mom this weekend and my sister will be driving me to school when she gets back. This wouldn't be a problem expect she only got her license like 2 weeks ago. The garage of our apartment complex is really hard to get out of too, so I'm afraid she'll hit something. Our stepdad has a hard time getting out of it and he's been going it for a while. All of this is to say, I've been stressed, everything has been so stressful and I haven't made any progress on my final task. I feel really bad because I have a partner. Expect apparently things have also been stressful for her so everyone is having a tough time, yay. So instead I'll just

    Good morning and good evening! I finished recording the rest of my scenes. I did the theater scene with my sister, again. She has spring break this week so I'll need to also finish my records either before or after she's gone to out tios. Actually I'm thinking of filming some scenes at my tio's when I go for MY spring break. He lives in Texas and there is a really big mall over there. So I may rerecord my scenes, I'll also be able to see my cousins and they can help me record. When recording my theater scenes I had three to choose from. One of theme is the one I used in the storyboard. Another is really close to where I live so it'll be easy to rerecord if  I need too. The final one is an AMC I get invited to sometimes, I went recently, which is why it was a possibility. In the end I choose the one in my storyboard but I also filmed scenes at the one near my house just in case. So it was really annoying for my sister because I was dragging her around anywher

     Good morning and good evening! Me and my partner started filming. Since me and my partner switched roles I have all of Lucia's roles. I have filmed some of the things I need to do. Not many of the theater scenes but the house scenes and I'm working through the texting scenes. Me and my partner decided to change the news film scene to a news article scene so me and my partner didn't have to use another actor. This is because I've been having trouble filming and finding time and time that worked for everyone. Anyways, I've got the first texting scene done. It was easier then I thought. I talked to my sister to get her to get her to text me at certain times. When I texted something she would text me something back a few moments later. All while I was screen recording to get the info. I also incorporated the titles in the texting scene. On Tuesday, I filmed the first scene, again, with my sister. She held the camera while I said my lines. She was in fact making fun

    Good morning and good evening! The best thing about our scenes is that I can switch them around as needed. This comes into pay most with the music. The music me and my partner decided on right now is "Heaven says," it has about 4 points with little notes that I can connect with the song. There is a part that says "violence" that could be easily connected with the car-crash excuse. I think that's the most fun with the music, connecting it to the things on screen. If me and my partner choose another song, the flexibility of scenes will allow things to still match the music. Freedom, Disease, Violence, and Friends are the things spelt out in response to Answer, Mankind, Answer and Sin (in that order). Which is just the perfect lyrics in my opinion, they go so well. So it would go Ask-the-friend-out, Sick excuse, car-crash excuse, meet up as the timeline. Basically just switch the second and third page of my storyboard around and you got your timeline for the vi

    Good morning and good evening! So me and my teammate switched who was going to be who. I am going to be Lucia now. The person who keeps getting flaked on instead of the person flaking (who I was before).  Lucia is also the person who moves the most in scenes. First I have to film at my house, then at the mall, then the theater then the park with my partner. All the texting scenes are also from my side, but to be honest I was going to do the texting anyway because I figured out a way to do it. First I'll probably set my camera up on a tripod to shot the first scene. Then I'll do the "POV" scene from the phone, I forgot what it was called. For the second scene I'll probably ask a friend or my partner to film me because it is a medium long shot. The whole scene is like that so I don't need to dramatically change perspective. I do need to do an establishing shot then I do a full body shot for scene three. For scene four it is going to be a medium-long shot, PO

     Good morning and good evening! Editing is a complicated area. I am going to be the editor so the whole video kinda runs on my style. I think I'm a good editor, however I'm worried about watermark. My preferred editing software has one so I might just pay for it to be removed just to get the video without one. I want to edit it to around the beat of the music, so there might be a lot of angles and shots. I am going to be using the spilt screen to show a difference of locations. I am also going to be using shot-reverse-shot to show conversations. Which is what a large portion of this video banks on. Jump cuts are going to be used to shot the changes from scene to scene. This is because every scene is at a different day. The video is going to be using a lot of diegetic sounds so I am going to be using my drama experience to edit in background sounds into the video. I am thinking adding a sound motif to signify the zombie or a zombie-related thing. There are no voiceovers so t

    Good morning and good evening! Me and my teammate spent the first week or two discussing what me and my teammate would do for the "final task." My teammate and I also tried to agreed on a title for the video, I still don't think we have one. It has been decided that I am editing the video. I am also going to be producing the video. My teammate still have to ask the person about the music, correction we have to refined the music video then ask the music-marker. I hope we can do this quickly. If not we may go the royalty free route, I almost want to go this route more. Both the story and writer are going to my teammates name. I did wrote some on revising though. I think I will have the most fun finding/making a name for the Studio name. Oh! and the Production company. Like does it be ironic? or Should it be Funny? I would have a good laugh that's for sure. The hardest part of this whole thing is going to be the locations because of the limit of me and my teammates p
