AICE Media Studies

 Hey guys, today is the last day we have to complete any last minute changes. As you guys know we are basically done !! We only have one more day until our deadline. We decided to do one more overview of our film. Though it wasn’t much wrong we decided to adjust the ending. The ending was a bit shaky. It ended kind of rough because of the way the camera was shut off. We usually filmed more than one time of the same scene. We just happened to not have done that this time. To cut off some of the shakiness at the end we decided to add another clip of the same scene from a different angle. By doing this we hoped to not lengthen out the actual time of minute 5 but the actual duration of the scene. We used angels computer of course to edit. This kind of helped with the shaking at the end. It eliminated the very end of where you would of saw the camera being actually shut off. We know the film isn’t supposed to be a 5 star film but that was just bothersome. After doing that we watched the fil

 Hey guys, there’s isn’t much to say today but i’ll catch you guys up. As stated in the last blog we finally put everything together and finished editing. After we were done editing we never went over it though. Today we just decided that it was a good day to just carefully go over every scene and everything else. First we started off with the angles. We were sure every transition was clean and carefully transitioned to the next. It was a FEW tedious mistakes. We went in to fix those simple mistakes. After that we then went into the titles again. We carefully made sure each title was correctly spelt out and very transitioning was the same. We did forget to add things like the extras name so we went in and did that. We then made sure to check that the minute with the name of the film was perfectly transitioned. This had to be the most tedious part being that we didn’t want to black out any parts of other scenes. After we’ve perfected the transitions and titles we then went in to check t

 Hey guys, today we added music to our film. As I stated in the last blog we were not trying to rush the editing process. As we learnt last year the music has to be non copyrighted. Well to find our music that we used we just went on youtube. We each went our separate ways to find a sound and then came together with a conclusion. For the actual editing we just used angels laptop. Finding a suspenseful sound is not hard. Finding the right suspenseful sound can be tho. We didn’t want the same suspenseful sounds that you usually here in almost every thriller. We wanted something different. Something we could call out own. We sat down and went through youtube until we found the right sounds. We used two different sounds and made it into one to add suspense. One sound has more bass than the other really creating that feeling. Our whole purpose of doing this was to mimic what you usually  see in movies but with a twist.  There is not sound all throughout our film. The sound is mainly near th

 Hey guys, as you know we are done filming. Today we are focusing on editing. We really took our time on this part today being that we wanted everything to be perfect to the T! We have changed up the titles just a bit. To to the editing we of course used angels computer the same as last time. We have decided to go with the same don’t all around. We also added effects to it instead of it just popping up on the screen. The words fade in a little now slowly to make it feel more like a film. We haven’t added any color to it the words are just white. We decked to keep the name of the film pop up in the middle of the film. We did add an effect to it so the film doesn’t feel plain. Our whole objective of this is so that the film feels suspenseful. We really wanted to carry out each aspect of the film from the theme to the filming to the editing. We believe we did an extraordinary doing that with limited equipment. After all the titles were added we then went back into the film and replaced sc

 Hey guys, We are now done filming. Although we have finished all our filming we have decided to take a break from editing the actual film and handle business. We only have had rough drafts of the website and post card. So now that we’re on track we decide to add the finishing touches. As I mentioned in the previous blogs we needed to add pictures to our website. So in class today we decided to go ahead and take face shots and a group photo. This was all we need to complete the website. As for the film, when angel completed the upload of the photos to the website Danni then began working on the QR code. While she was doing that I added a few changes. I added more graphics to the post card to make it more appealing. By appealing I mean more fun. I decided to add the name to the back of the postcard instead of the front. I added “Save the date” to the front being that the the date is the background. I found that very creative so I went for it. I also played around with the editing of it

 Hey guys, today is the last day of filming ! We only have one last thing to film which is minute 4. To film we still used Danniella’s camera and tripod. This scene was supposed to be dark and suspenseful. We cut of all lights and used our flashlights for spotlight. This is the scene with mystery man and the body guard. Jackie is also in this scene. This part of the film was supposed to be filmed first originally because it does have a lot of dialogue. We didn’t film it because I wasn’t available & we had no one else. This is just days before the deadline so it is kind of a set back. Good thing we jump started on editing. During this film we needed a set up kind of like a office. This was filmed at Angels house. We used a desk in his kitchen and just set it up with a computer and speakers along with the mystery document. During this scene I had to act scary and intimidating. I was a bit nervous so we did have to redo it a few times. To make sure I was ready we made sure to do a lot
