AICE Media Studies Blog

 This is my powerpoint

 My second big project for AICE Media was very successful. I learned many new skills as well as using skills I learned from the last project. I learned a lot about team work, while working with my partners, Sophia, Ella, and Darrow, there were challenges we needed to overcome but we worked together to get through it.  I am really glad I got to work with new people. The skills I learned will help me in the future. My favorite part was filming the last scene where Darrow and I were stargazing. It created the perfect ending as the camera turned up to the stars and faded away into the darkness, it was very happy scene and because it was the final one it added to the happiness. My least favorite part was drawing the storyboard, I am not the best at drawing so I told Sophia my ideas and she drew them out. Even though it was a little challenging along the way, my first film was fun to make. This will help a lot in my future films, since we filmed this project at school I was able to ask my t

 Today was the end. We’re finally done with the music video and second project this year. Yesterday we finished filming and today was the end of editing. Editing did not take too long today. We used an app called iMovie to edit our commercial. Since all of the filming was done on my phone I decided it made the most sense to edit on my phone too. Sophia did most of the hands on editing while I made suggestions. First, some of the clips needed adjusting, so while Sophia made sure they were the right length, I cropped them to make each scene perfect. All of the clips were also looking a little dull so I decided to add some brightness and a filter to it so it would look happier and brighter. Sophia and I had a difference in opinion on what filter we should use. I thought the super bright one looked better while she liked the one that was a little darker. We settled on one that was in between and it turned out to be the perfect brightness giving a happy effect. I had to edit a lot of the cl

 Today was our third and last day filming. We filmed the night scenes where we are stargazing. I had to wait until 7 to film because it needed to be dark. Since we did not film until late, I decided to pick out my outfit and get everything ready beforehand. I decided to wear jeans for today’s cow boy look along with a white t-shirt and cow boy boots. Once it got dark it was time to go pick up Darrow. He needed help picking out an outfit so I went inside to help out. Last time he wore a white T-shirt so I told him to wear black today.  Darrow wanted to wear the black cow boy hat so I wore the red one. Our outfits had the perfect cow boy persona so we were ready to film. Originally the plan was to film at mine but since we were at Darrow’s I decided it was easier to stay at his also because there was a park nearby. In one of the scenes Darrow brings me flowers so we had to go pick them up from the grocery store. The first scene we filmed was Darrow texting me that he arrived, we pretende

 After procrastinating a lot yesterday, today I really needed to start filming. This time after school there was no problem when it came to finding Darrow when the end of the day came. Sophia and Ella came too of course but I never had trouble with them coming home with me. We arrived at my house after stopping to get food on the way home. My parents took the puppies back to the humane society so there was no cute puppies trying to distract us. Our coy boy outfits were already picked out from yesterday. I put on my outfit when I realized my jeans somehow had a stain on them. There was no time to wash them so I had to pick out a different pair. I did not have another pair that were as good as the other ones but the other pair worked. I put it on, Darrow put his outfit on, we both got our coy bot hats and got to work. We went outside because all the scenes we had to do today were outside. Darrow had to drive my car for the video which made me a little nervous but I got though it for the

 Today I started filming. I was looking forward to it a lot, but it turned out to be a lot more stressful than I thought. The plan was for Sophia and Darrow to come home with me after school to start filming. When the bell rang and it was time to go I texted Darrow because I could not find him. He was not answering so I kept calling until 20 minutes later he called saying he was at home sleeping. He could not come until later and I was not very happy. I then drove home and had to wait, about an hour after I got home Darrow said he could film now but he needed a ride to my house. So I had to drive all the way to his house to pick him up and come back to mine. At the moment I am fostering puppies at my house, there is three of them and the mom, they are super cute. Once we got back to mine everyone got distracted playing with the puppies which wasted a lot of time. I finally made the decision to get to work. I got my cow boy hat and my boots but I did not know if I should wear jeans or a
