AICE Media Studies

Hey Michi nation, welcome back to your favorite blog! We noticed today that we had completed most of the pictures, but Rose thought she had overlooked a few crucial ones. So I reviewed some of the basics. When a film keeps audiences on the edge of their seats, they probably want to know what will happen next. The first step in filming a dramatic sequence for a movie is choosing the perfect location. The director and cinematographer should take great care while choosing the lighting, camera angles, and shot framing. Having said all of that, we discovered we could change several of these components to boost the impact. The first thing I did was figure out what kind of photos I had been using. This forced me to consider how the lighting, angle effects, and sound were used in the film. Then Rose started to reshoot some of the scenes. When the lighting was too bright or the camera was too steady, she reshot the scene and made corrections. This included going over my five to eight movie scen...

Hey Michi nation, welcome back to your favorite blog! With my group, we continued honing some of the angles and photos today. I started by phoning Owen to ask if Rose and I could come over. We proceeded over as soon as he gave us the okay. Rose and I made sure that every prop we received the last time was there. I then made the decision to rewatch my scenes. She also practiced a couple times, but with the props, before she recorded us. Owen and I are being filmed so that we can have a foundation for our movie. Before producing and putting the film together, Rose assured us that she would let us know if anything needed to be fixed or improved. Rose then filmed her first part, during which she looked outside the door to see whether Owen and I were stalking her. But because the lighting was not cooperating, this one had to be redone. We intended a gloomy atmosphere, but it rendered everything unwatchable. Rose needed four sequences to perfect the lighting. I was able to get some ...

Hey Michi nation, welcome back to your favorite blog! My crew and I started another crucial filming stage today. We got to work gathering props. We needed a lot of costumes and props for this movie since they helped to define the plot. These featured several necessary props and casual-feeling clothing. My group and I first got together outside "Out of the Closet," the secondhand store close to our school. For instance, we purchased several makeup kits to enhance realism to the "dead" look and a lovely, inexpensive dress that depicted a typical adolescent. We made every effort to divide the expenses. Rose hastily headed to Owen's house to start practicing with our new props after purchasing additional, less significant accessories. We saw "Goodwill" as we were heading home, so we made a quick stop to check if there was anything more interesting. We didn't locate anything more, but we still left for home. When I got home, I checked to make sure every...

Hey Michi nation, welcome back to your favorite blog! Today we decided to practice some angles and shots for our video. We all went to Owen's place first. My group mate checked that all the props were in their proper places once we arrived. Rose would be the one recording Owen and I during scenes that didn't involve her. Rose then went through her scenes several times. Before we started recording, she did a few practice runs. We're recording our scenes as a test run so they can all be examined later. Before formally creating and editing them together, Rose will be examining her media to see if anything needs to be improved or fixed. We then went on to film our first scene, which had Owen and me coming up with the idea. We were all a little apprehensive for the first scene and were laughing, so Rose had to record this several times. For three more sequences, we continued laughing. We were able to establish our characters only after those three sessions. Once we started actin...

Hey Michi nation, welcome back to your favorite blog! Its been a while since we've talked BUT i'm back no worries. In order to decide which of our houses would be used for the filming scenes, my group decided to get together over the weekend. The first location we checked was Owen's house. Owen showed Rose and I his kitchen, living room, and attic first. These are a few of the places I considered because they were used for the majority of the filming. After this I continued to visit other locations such as my own house and uncles house. My house is closer to all my group mates however since it is in front of a main road it would be a lot more nosier to film. Also, my house is on the smaller size giving us less space to film. Which could be an inconvience during filming such as knocking things down or not having enough space. I then visited my uncles house, his house is bigger but he lives far from all of us causing an inconvenience in time and available days. However we wou...
