Welcome Back!!!

 

    Hey guys welcome back!! We are starting off with some updates and fillers on how things have been going and what the plan for this year is. I am so excited to finally be back here!! This year were going to be making a short film I am not sure on what yet but were going to just catch up at the moment. So at the end of last years post the CCR was tough to get through but it did come out great. 
    Unfortunately, the people I worked with last year will not be joining this year's trip. So ill make sure to update later on whether or not it will be a new team this year. I have gotten a job and taken time during our break to just figure out what i plan to do after high school is over and there were some tough choices to make but I knew one thing for sure is that I wanted to continue on with this process in A level. So in the beginning I mentioned how i could swim and that I loved the water in the past I am now a certified lifeguard and plan to see if i can use this skills to my advantage in this years filming process. I have been working to learn and improve my skills in media so hopefully everything goes as planned.
    Bloom the girls club that I am apart of will not be continuing into this new school year unfortunately, everything has been continued online.  Covid-19 has calmed down just enough for us to go back on campus for school so things are different and a little harder but I believe ill be able to manage it. I have found some new editing apps to use for this year!! So I am hoping that ill be able to put them to great use. Past the editing things are going to be a bit more challenging with the new schedule i have going on. 
    I know that on Thursday and Friday's i'll be able to plan and prep everything I need so that I can blog on time for you guys and proceed into the project in a timely manner. Hopefully its not to overwhelming if I decide to do these things on my own. I can definitely tell that this year's work is definitely going to be more independent. Having a taste of what AICE Media is like already, I know that this work can be super fun and enjoyable as long as I keep up and stay focused. Part of this process will be done with the new updates that will be coming more frequently from now on. Well that's all that has happened lately so i'll see you all next time. I'll be back soon!!

Production blog: Multiple Exposure discovery

    So its been a while since the last update and things haven't gotten very far but there are some positives that have happened. We were able to pick a location that satisfied most of our needs with out the hassle of needing permission to film and be on park grounds. We thought to see if we could find more actors but it was harder than expected. Seeing as everyone would have to have their own transportation and our filming would have to fit into someone else schedule. This made it harder on us but we kept searching.       So we had someone but the plans ended up changing when that person was no longer available. We understood that sometimes circumstances change. So, now we are all just planning a day to set up and film. This consist of making sure we have the camera set and all phones charged. Also having battery packs for the camera ready.       We definitely can't forget mask for covid-19 protection. An lastly, its key to having a first aid kit on deck for the day to come an

Commercial Blog: Nike Vs. Under Amour Grand Finale

 I thought I would be fine using the Nikkon D3200 camera as this laptop has an SD card slot but the problem I had was that my SD card didn't fit in the slot. During my editing is when I realize that I have another clothing brand appearing in the finished ad. So I took the opportunity the next day to tweak the film so that it finally shows the images of both brands in one to let others know that this is a collaborative promotion. The reason is that it allows a certain message to be shown in the ad. So from my imagination I was able to sum up a few last-minute moments and since one of the actors doesn't own anything from the Nike brand I made a little tweak to allow two different brands to co-exist in my ad.       The two brands I choose are Nike and Under Amour. I would leave it alone if I don't see the logo but I can recognize it on one of my actor's shirts while editing. I plan to dub or add music to the ad to make it fun while the ad continues. Each actor put in a lot

Genre Research: Romance & Drama

Romance is defined by intimate relationships. In some cases, there may be a twist but at the end the main point in films is about the pursuit of love. Romance is not only its own genre but can also be seen in other genres such as thriller, Comedy, Drama, etc. Common lighting usually seen in romance includes high key lighting in which makes the seen more cheerful due to the brightness and warm colored lighting to create an inviting and mellow mood. A close up shot is an example of camera angles that are seen in films.  It allows the audience to examine the characters face to see their feelings and emotions. Another common camera angle seen in romance films are over the shoulder shots. It captures the face expressions and body language. Common sounds heard in romance movies are usually diegetic and non diegetic. For example, a musical that has romance incorporated into it includes singing and it helps exaggerate the feelings the characters may have.  Sometimes there may be a sound played
