AICE Media Studies

  Hello Blog. This is going to be a boring one. Spring Break is about to start. My group and I decided that we weren't going to meet up and record over the break. I honestly feel like this would be the best time to record. But, we all need the much needed rest from school. It's been a long quarter. A lot has been going on in our own individual classes. But the media class has specifically been one I worry about. Not only is my AICE diploma riding on it but I actually want to do good. During this break, I'm not going to neglect my project however. I still want to keep in touch with my groupmmates so we have things to write in these blogs. Maybe even add different things to the script. I don't know what me and my group are going to do but I hope for the best. I just want to finish the year off strong. I've been doing good all year so I don't want to mess up now. Anyways, wishing bad isn't the best thing to do. I'm confident in the work ethic of me and my g...

  Welcome back to our blog. My group and I had changed our pitch unknowingly. We had changed what our pitch was from the beginning. Our main character was supposed to have 2 love interests. But she ended up having only one when we wrote the script. Instead of panicking, we worked around it. We changed the pitch and it worked better for us. If she had 2 love interests, I honestly don't know how we would've worked with that in our time frame. You definitely don't want to have more than you can chew. Plus, we didn't want to make it so packed. We discussed it as a group and decided it was the best option for us. I was proud that we were able to figure it out without worrying. Sarah was actually the one to catch our mess up. We rewrote our script after we discovered this fact. I couldn't imagine doing this project by myself. Having my group helps with having extra set of eyes. We catch mistakes better with all of us knowing this is our grade on the line. I appreciated be...

Welcome back to my blog. From the last blog, you know filming was a complete fail. After reviewing my failed attempt, I could tell what I did wrong. So this time when I was rerecording, I tried to be mindful of those errors. First thing I did was imagine myself in an actual conversation. I did this so I could get my timing right when I was responding. I also got my lighting to be much better. I didn't want the lighting to be complete opposite of the mood. I also tried my best to put my phone camera in a better position. I was able to capture more of my body and actions that way. I was definitely more determined this time around. I just wanted to get the video done and correctly at that. I recorded the video maybe 2 more times. My second attempt was much better. I reviewed it and sent it into our groupchat. I allowed my groupmates to give me constructive feedback which I listened to. After I collected their feedback, I looked back to my video to make sure their opinions were valid. ...

  Welcome back to my blog. I still haven't done too much filming. But I did record one scene doing it full out. I recorded my bedroom scene and personally, I didn't like it. It looked awkward and forced to me. So just from that, I know I wouldn't put into my film. I don't want to make it look like I'm acting. It should come off naturally like I'm really having a conversation. So even though I recorded my part, I didn't send it to my groupmates. I had to take time and note certain things I didn't like down. I didn't like how awkward I came across on screen. I didn't like how I rushed through my lines either. It just didn't come across genuinely in my opinion. I also had the camera in a awkward position trying to balance the camera on my bed. All in all, there was a lot of mistakes for the first go around. But that's what this time is for and I utilize it. I try and work out the kinks so there are no screw ups in the final product. However ...

Welcome back. Now that we've went down the basics of the project, we're now onto my own individual part. I haven't started filming at this time which means no editing. But, I did start my planning. Going off how the script is written, I don't have that many solo scenes. So I would need to record myself having the conversation but also leave enough space for my other groupmate to answer. It shouldn't so rushed or looked rushed. We're trying to make this film look as professional as possible. Now the next scene where I'm out of my room is when I go to the mall with the other girls. That scene will also be relatively easy to film. The only thing is again making it fit nicely into the video. Something I'm worried about is the quality of the film. It's going to be so many different devices recording each parts. I would hate for some parts to look better than others. We all know that's not how it works in the actual filming industry. I also want to mak...
