AICE Media Studies

Finally we finished filming! We finished filming luckily! So now we can continue editing with all the footage. As of now, we are editing the footage so it goes smoothly. But since the majority of us couldn't go to the park, we changed them. We decided that when all the actors meet up at park, they instead get into a call and talk about it over a call. Which was fairly easy to film, we filmed the actors using a medium-close up shot with a phone to their ears. We also switched a couple of scenes out, the scenes with actors at the park. We decided to add a shot of actor 1 walking, so we took a shot of only their footsteps. This then goes into a panning shot and then finally a establishing shot of the lake at the park. We then use a long shot. There was this bridge at the park so we used that to our benefit, we recorded actor 1 walking onto the bridge this then follows by actor 5 following the first one. We then record a conversation between them, we use a two-shot to do this. This the...

How long did it take? Filming didn't take that long but we ran into a couple of problems with it to begin with. The first one is that we didn't finish. All of us had set the date to film, some of us couldn't make it due to personaly reasons or we were just sick. Along with other things, it fell through, which is epexcted we aren't going to lie. We both knew something like this would happen so we switched up a couple of things. The scenes in the park will only be with 2 people and not the 4. Since some of us couldn't make it like I said, we had no choice to change the script. As of now filming will continue and editing will continue since we still have some footage. The filming is to expected to finish Wednesday, which would be March 29th and editing will finish March 30th. We just added a couple of days to film, for the missing footage and just in case other problems showed up again. Since we did film with just 2 people, lets make a quick recap. Some of shots we did...

Imprortant Dates! We have now confirmed the dates we are filming. We added extra days just in case one of the actors aren't able to make it. Like we said before we are filming the 3rd week of March, because that is the best time period for all of us. The dates are shown below! March 20th - March 24th of 2023! This gives us 5 total days to film everything and get the footage we want in order to edit. The dates we have are self explanatory. But I am still going to explain them. We are editing right after filming, we have the dates to when we start editing as well. We both know editing takes forever so extra dates were given to please that. This is also because we are newbies at Adobe Premire Pro and After Effects. Only one of us has used it before and had a tough time but this time there is two of us. The dates below are when we beging editing. March 27th - March 31st of 2023! This gives us 5 days to edit and complete the video. If we add extra days you will be notified so don't ...

A small head start! Since we can't edit or film completely due to our schedule. The best we can do is get a head start. This will make things easier in the long run. We are starting to do the title cards in order to be easier for when we have the videos and everything else. This also goes for sound effects. For instance, police sirens, ambulance sirens, and, so on. The script is coming along very well and we are also editing while writing the rest of it. This makes it take double the time. Since we are proofreading while writing it. We are also keeping in contact with the actors and which roles they play. We are also making sure that their ok with their roles just in case. We don't want to make anyone uncomfortable. Going back to the editing portion of this. We will be using mainly Adobe Premiere Pro 2023 and Adobe After Effects 2023. The lighting, sounds, title cards, and so on will be implemented with the help of these programs. We won't able to do the things we want with...

Updates We both had a long discussion with the people who we are working with and each other. At the time of writing this we are all busy. 2 out of the 4 actors who are helping us have a job and school to manage. We all have to find a time were those schedules lining up. Like I said we are all trying to find the time and we all found a time period where we are most likely going to be available; which is the thrid week of March. We have to push things back because we are all extremely busy working with school and even jobs. The script is coming along very well. We are both dicussing how the dialogue and how it will contribute to the visuals. As of now, the storyboard will not change. We discussed it and will agreed that the storyboard will not change. If it does it needs to have a very good reason in order to change it.  We have already discussed the roles to the actors and how this whole thing will work out. Since they don't know how it's exactly going to work. We do have a spe...

 The Beginning of this ride! As you know, we needed to recruit people in order to be in our video. We asked 5 of our friends to be in the video. 4 of them agreed to be in our video, 1 of them lived to far and said they wouldn't be able to make it. The people joining are Christopher Serrano, Sydeon Blackwood, Brandon Inn, and Natalia Bivens are all going to be aiding us. One of us will also be in the video, while the other is behind the scenes. Sydeon B, Brandon I, and Natalia B will all be appearing in person while Christopher S will appear over the phone due to some issues with distance.  We are extremely thankful for all these people helping us. No matter what, they are willing to help and are willing to take time out of their day to help us. We can't explain how grateful we are because again they are taking time out of their day. We will be discussing their roles with them and what their lines are. The majority of these people are friends with both of us but some of us will...

 The story and how it is going to work! Page 1: It starts out with a murder happening. Then, it jump cuts to a girl closing a laptop and talking to her cousin over the phone. The girls gets up and walks out her bedroom door. The a split screen comes of the girl, her cousin, and a few friends starts chatting. Then, the crime scene comes on and another friend tells the main friend in the friend group about the murder of one of the friends in the friend group.   Page 2: After hearing the news, the main friend requested to hang out with her other friends and tell them the news about what happened to their friend and starts talking about it. The main friend says that the dead friend was murdered. They went to the park across the street to see if they can get a view of the crime scene.  They kept moving up closely to try and see what is going on. They exit the park and try to get closer to the scene. They talk about it. Then, in the friend group, one of the friend confesses tha...
