AICE Media Studies

This is our final task. The name of the title is, "The Killing". It was very fun working on this project with my group. We had so many bloopers that it made it worth it. Our editing game has improved so much since our last project and I am proud of what we have accomplished.

My group and I have been working on the editing of our video. We have been scheduling when to make a call to talk about editing. On Wednesday we created a call on Zoom. We then agreed on what each other would do for the video. This time it was switched up from our last video. Anayah was in charge of putting the video together, Keemori was in charge of choosing the music, and I was in charge of editing the videos. Our call was about one hour long because we discussed everything that was going on about our video. We also discussed the order of the scenes. Many scenes were filmed multiple times so we had to see which one would work. We filmed many scenes but only chose certain ones to use for our video. There were many bloopers because we kept laughing during scenes. The bloopers are what made the editing process enjoyable for me. Anayah was the main one helping by telling us what we needed to do and when we should get our tasks done. For me, the editing part was easy because I have done ...

We have decided that in about 5 days my group and I will be filming. On Friday is when Anayah will buy half of the supplies/props for the film and my other group members will gather their supplies sometime this week. The other half of the props will be brought by Keemori Hall. In the meantime, I wanted to research more ways to helps us film better and faster. Especially since we are using two tripods I wanted to learn how to use those the best way I can. I got most tips from watching youtube videos from college students who are taking film and production as their major. After learning different methods from those that have more experience I wrote them down to share with my group later. Aside from looking for different filming techniques and tips, I am nearing the end of the songs suggested for the film. However, I need the permission from my groupmates to finalize the song/music choice. As for reflection, I took it upon myself to go over past filming projects. Such as the music video a...

My group and I have given each other different things to do. I went searching for costumes I may need for filming. I've gotten black sweatpants, a black mask, and a black hoodie. These clothes fit the criteria our group agreed upon because we wanted our actors to look dark and mysterious when recording time comes around. Our goal is to look as dangerous and creepy as we can with our limited budget as well. So the costumes and props we buy mustn't be expensive at all. The clothes I went shopping for weren't expensive at all so I managed to save some money. I don't know if my other group members went shopping for costumes however I do plan on scheduling a zoom meeting with them on March 13th or March 14th. This zoom meeting will allow us to catch up on all the progress everyone has done. We will also discuss if we need to alter plans or edit some blogs if we need to. After I went shopping for costumes I went online to look for the props we need. Our group wants to use fak...

Our group has not starting our filming process as of yet. The f ilming will begin in the next two weeks. I would say the process of filming would take about three days to complete. In the meantime, the group has been editing our planning blogs and scripts. I had to fix my images that were not showing up for the teachers. Another issue is we have to revise and redraw our storyboard. The problem is it was too short and more pages needed to be filled out. So far we have 4 pages and we need at least 7 to 10 pages. On the otherhand, the group will rewrite the scripts as well to make it better. We want to improve the sound and dialogue script simply because it isn't conveying that sinister and mysterious feeling yet to the audience. This script needs to be less mediocre and more abnormal and uncommon. Besides the scripts and the storyboard, the rest of our planning blogs are just fine. We are trying to plan as close to what we want and not mess up. Another problem our group will have to ...

 Our group has decided on a thriller genre for our film as stated in different blogs. We have not started to work on our project yet. As we have just recently decided on when to film and the construction of our film. We had talked about what to do from the beginning when we first got this assignment. Our plan was to film and edit during spring break because we would all be free. This has changed due to one of our groupmates. Keemori will no longer be here for spring break so that put a rift in our plans. We quickly compromised on this issue. We decided to film at the end of March before Spring Break. We know that we would need at least two days to film the full video so we decided on more than 2 days. Then we will also have a day for editing as we will meet in person for that. We also have backup dates for reshooting and reediting. These are after Spring Break when Keemori will be back. Filming for this project will need to take place in the afternoon to give off a dark mood. We al...
