AICE Media Studies

 My final task was my favorite film I did all year. This one let my creativity go crazy. I was aloud to design my own opening film of a movie which was really fun. I had a great time and it was a good experience doing this film. I learned many new things like new editing tools which will greatly benefit me in the future. 

 Editing my film was very fun to do. I actually enjoy editing because I can make it look cool or more smooth. This is the longest video i've edited. This film was 2 minutes long but, beforehand the longest I have ever edited was a minute. I played around a lot more when it came to editing this time. I changed up the colors of the word and even changed the font of the letters. I used two colors for the word it was either yellow or white. I mostly used white but, I used the yellowe for specific titles and also because it stood out more than the white in those scenes. I also changed the font because I didn't want it to be boring and basic like all my other films, I wanted my final task to be different. I did struggle at first with changed the letters and the colors of the font because I had never done it before. I did end up getting the hang of it and now actually know how to do it. It was honestly very easy after learning. I will be changing the font and the colo more often becau

 Finally after many failed attempts of filming I was able to complete my filming. It only took one day to film. But, there were some complications with the lighting. Since we didn't do the scenes in order and did them from the last scenes to the first scenes. One problem was the sunlight because there was sunlight in the last scenes but not in the beginning. Even though that happened the sky really can't be seen at the beginning. The filming was a very fun experience. Being able to do the filming with my family was very enjoyable and it felt good spending time with them. So, instead of ski mask we used face mask which worked out pretty well because it was somewhat like a face cover up. Also, we changed up some scenes for example the knocking out Yuli (nanny) scene. Instead of the original idea of knocking her out with like a rock she was pulled by her hair to the floor. This change was made because it would be more safe. Also instead of one kidnapper it was two. This change was

 This week has been an unproductive week. Well only for this class I didn't do anything. I decided not to deal with anything dealing with this class. But, I didn't do anything because I was lazy I needed to work on other things. I catched up on other classes instead throughout the week. The reason for this was because of work all my assignments have piled up. Also, I wasn't worried with not working on this class because everything is prepared. I just have to wait for the day I am going to film. Also, I got sick this week and haven't been feeling well. I did go take a covid exam and it came back negative thankfully. I am just getting the cold but, I still have to film so whether or not I am fine or not I will be filming. Tomorrow friday, I am finally going to film. I have waited a very long time but tomorrow will finally be the date. I didn't follow the schedule I had originally made for the dates of filming and editing. But, not everything goes as planned. Unfortuna

 This weekend that just passed was Easter. I used this week to my benefit because my family got together. I was able to see my family members who are going to be in the film. I didn't film this weekend because of Easter, my family is religious so we were busy. Regardless, I was able to chat with my cousins about my film. I spoke to them and we are going to film on Friday and Saturday. The goal is to do all the filming on Friday. There would only be filming on Saturday if we don't finish on friday. We choose the specific time of 6pm. The reason for this was because it is going to set the correct vibe with the film. It isn't going to be too sunny nor too dark. Since time will be running, it is going to get darker depending how long we take to film the scenes. With all the retake and process the goal is not to run completely out of sunlight. If we run out of sunlight then filming will have to continue on saturday. This weekend was dedicated to getting straight the schedule for

 So over these last couple of days I have ran into some difficulties. Some of my family members started to get sick. So now we have to wait for their covid results to come back just to make sure it isn't that. This is making me have to postpone the filming if anything as of right now. I won't postpone it for to long because I have to start filming. Coronavirus has taken a huge impact on how we socially gatter now in groups. It is better to be safe than sorry. So, if I have to take out people from my final project I will do so. My clothes hasn't arrive and if it doesn't get here by this weekend I am just going to have to wear something else. Even though the clothes I order was supper important I can style some clothes I already have to fit the look I need. My goal was to film over this weekend but, it is a holiday weekend. My family celebrates easter so this weekend is going to be a family spent weekend. I am also going to be traveling for the weekend. I won't be abl
