AICE Media Studies

  Hii blog, I am thrilled to finally be sharing with you the project my group and I have worked on for so long. We had so much fun making this. Can't wait to see you guys again for my critical reflection. Enjoy!!

Hii blog, I’m back. Today, my group and I will be revising our previous film. This time, we’re taking into consideration the previous criticism that we received by one of our friends. Although most of the feedback was nothing but positive we’re revisiting CapCut to make it the best it possibly can be. One of her biggest cons was the audio. Our editor (Owen) then asked Michelle and I to put all hands on deck to see if there was any way for our video to sound louder. This lead us into a big loop hole on the internet. Michelle searched through TikTok which has basically became the new google. While, I went through YouTube videos to find a solution. After what felt like 500 videos we found a solution. On CapCut, they had the option of turning the medias volume up, so thats what we did. We also finished reviewing small details like the timing of our videos. We also got an extra opinion on a teacher we really like. This teacher gave us feedback on how well the image of our video was in compa

  When we sent our film to Eileen she thought our concept of murder in a high school was not unheard of, but we added a twist that made her feel interested throughout the film. Eileen opinion not only meant a lot to Michelle, Owen and I because s he was critiquing and giving feedback on our film. But because she is our friend. We wanted her too genuinely like it. A fter watching the film, she had a list of pros and cons. Things she thought we did well and some things we could improve upon. The pros were that she thought we had good angles, nice lighting, our costumes and the horror . The con was the audio. She said that the angles we chose to use for each of our shots fit. That even though they were simple we weren’t trying to overpower our work. A s for the lighting she complimented us on our ability to work as the sun was setting. This was something we only had so much control over but we did it really well. As for our costumes, she thought that they fit our vision when tr y

  Hii Blog, I’m back. Today is the first class period since we finished our editing process at Owen’s house. I think today is one of the hardest dates since we choose our music. In the beginning when first heard of the project and developed our idea. A song that at the moment was stuck in my head was ‘United at Grief’ by Kendrick Lamar. When I informed my teacher she told us we would need permission from the producer/singer or our film would be copyrighted. After she explained the process to get rights, my group and I began writing our email to  TDE Business which is Kendricks producing company. After I typed up the email and sent it. I noticed that they had sent me an email back almost instantaneously. This was due to them having their email inbox full. It was a good thing we started this process since the beginning to have time to have a plan B. I researched other ways to get in contact with his team but it was impossible. I, then called my group and told them it will not be a possib

  Hii blog, I’m back. Today, we again, went to Owen’s house to finalize the editing process. After we left his home yesterday, he decided to try and finish the editing. While he played around, he tweaked some of the stuff we had already collectively done as a group. When Michelle and I saw these changes we weren’t too happy. As a group we had to have a talk and discuss whether the changes looked better or worst for our type of film. These changes made the film look more mysterious rather than the horror look we were going for. After voting, we decided that it was best if we did not keep the changes but we kept the copy of this video to show our critics when the peer review came. We began the CapCut process all over again. Putting the clips in, editing the credits and putting the timing correctly. We decided on all of us to be involved and no group work to be done without all of us there. With everyone’s curfew, we attempted to fit all of the editing in the six hours we had. This meant

  Hii blog, I’m back. Today, my group and I are starting the editing process. Although, I didn’t have much motivation towards the end of the filming process.I’m glad to announce we have all of the scenes done. My groups designated editor is Owen. Even Though Owen will be doing most of the editing me and my group mates are still trying to be part of it. We’re doing this by using our creativity to come up to come up with the layout itself. The plan for the layout is to put any of the credits on open space. We took this into consideration during our filming process too. While we helped Owen he put together all the clips and cut them to fit the time correctly. As a group, we also decided to come up with our studio name. For this, it was kind of a debate. While Owen wanted: Visionary Films. Michelle and I wanted: Infinity Studios. This part of the editing process was one of the harder ones because at the end we are a group and we have to all be on board with a decision. At the end, we chose
