AICE Media Studies

My group has had difficulties deciding a free day where we are all free to film. However, we are dedicated to filming on Thursday to finally finish our film. Something that worries me is not having enough scenes to complete the entire 5 minutes. I am hoping to edit some of the scenes together to see how much time it has made up. Then with this information we could film additional scenes on Thursday, if needed. I feel it is the best choice to make collectively with my group mates the ensure we will appropriately complete this task. On Thursday, we will be filming the coffee shop scene with the friends where it will be Aleiah, Lili, and I. Chloe (Lili) will announce her suspicions to her friends where she will say that she has noticed that someone has been following her. The friends will react and help her come up with a plan. Additionally, the final scene we will need to film, which will also be the final scene in the short film, is the attacking part. This is the most exciting and thri...

It has been a bit rough for my group to find another day where we can film. Each person in my group has entirely different schedules from each other, so it's hard to find a free date for all of us. To be completely honest, it's been hectic. However, my group has strong people in it where we will all find a way out of this pit hole. Aleiah and I won't be able to film this Friday, but Lili and Hannah can. Therefore, since they are the most seen in the movie, it would be best if they filmed without us. They agreed and will be filming alone together just one scene to get this show on the road. The one thing that worries me is that since the filming was all shot on my phone, will it come out with a different quality of image? My phone is different from my other groupmates so it's risky, but I think it will work. We tried it out on two of our phones comparing it to mine and it seems similar with very small differences. To use a phone as similar to mine, Lili’s friend is going...

My group has really impressed me by how much we've grown. They have all understood each other when problems pop up out of nowhere. We all understand that we can't all film on the same days and we must find arrangements to fit all the needs of this film. I'm glad that I have this group because we are all very responsible and know when it is time to get our stuff together. We keep up with our film and know what each of our roles are. Although we were falling behind in the beginning, we are picking up the pace with the support of each other. I would guess that we have to meet up two more short times or one long day of filming to complete the recording part. One thing that has happened for the past two filming days is that my group and I keep forgetting to take out the props that we had bought from my car. I will have to remember to bring it again next time we meet for that scene where we will need those props. I think we will need to meet up soon but many of us, including myse...

My team did it! We found a date where we could all go even if it was for a short amount of time. Lili had a babysitting job at 5 p.m., so my group really had to hurry. At the same time, it still had to be good and not looked rushed because it would show in the film. To begin, there were some troubles with transportation. After school, Lili and I expected our entire group to go together in my car to Lili's house and make it easier and faster for everyone. However, when the bell had rung to leave school Hannah left with her mom and Aleiah with her sister. Lili and I continued with our plans and went to eat something before going to film. Then, Aleiah and Hannah let us know that they were going on their own. So, Lili and I made a quick stop at McDonald's and coincidentally, Hannah and Aleiah had gone to a Chick-Fil-A right next to us. We found out afterwards when we saw each other again at Lili's house. Once we were all done eating, we got out of the car and went inside the ho...

My group and I have worked hard so far to be able to produce our film in a timely manner. We have had many issues finding dates where we are all free. This became a big issue because there was no time throughout our week where we were all free. I was a bit stressed about it all because I wasn’t sure if we were going to have the sufficient amount of time to film and edit. However, I feel we are back on track now since we have a set date on Wednesday where we all arranged our plans to go to Lili’s house and film as much as we can. My group and I will be on a time crunch but it is necessary to film as quickly as possible to have time for any mistakes or last-minute checks. Furthermore, there were many difficulties with the places we picked for the setting of each scene. For example, with the original location we had planned for the Starbucks scene where the friends will be conversing seems to be giving us a bit of trouble. This is due to the fact that it will be very loud, therefore the s...

We had our first day of filming! I'm so excited to get this show on the road and it was really fun being able to start a new film since last year. It has been so long and I feel like I have really progressed with my filming skills and concepts. My crew is basically the same people where everyone from last year is still part of our production group. The only thing that changed is that Brianna (who was in my group last year) is no longer in our Media Studies group. However, Hannah, her twin sister, is in our group this year. I really enjoyed filming the first scenes to our short movie. I had a lot of fun and there were no arguments since my group is already confidential with one another. For this first day of filming, my group and I felt that it was best to buy all of our props and begin the most challenging scenes which included going to a restaurant near a bridge. There were many people passing by here at all times. My group had to stop filming many times until the paths were clear...

Before my group and I start filming, I want to give a brief overview of the props that I will be using throughout my film. First, I will need to buy a bulletin board for the scene where the stalker's room is shown. Here, there will be pictures of Chloe and her information including birth certificates, grade reports, and other legal documents. There will be manila folders that one of my groupmates bought and red yard with push pins to make the scene look even more realistic and set the creepy aesthetic. The picture of "Chloe" is really an image of Lili, one of my groupmates. She is still having difficulty choosing a picture but the film will be better-suited if it was a close-up portrait with just her in it. This will allow the viewer to see that Rachel, the stalker, is strictly keen on Chloe. There will be pictures in the folder and an additional portrait in a frame that we must buy as well. Furthermore, I will need glasses for the stalker, Rachel, so she could be "h...
