AICE Media Studies

  We scheduled a day to meet on set and began discussing the changes we needed to make. We went over the feedback in detail, brainstorming ways to improve the pacing, acting, and overall tone of the film. We started by setting up the camera and lighting equipment, making sure that everything was in the right position. We then rehearsed the scenes a few times, making sure that the timing and blocking were improved. Melvin helped with the lighting, ensuring that the shadows were used to improve the mood of the film. As we filmed the retakes, we went over all the feedback. We were all working together towards a common goal, and it was a great feeling to see the improvements that we were making. When we wrapped up the final retakes, we all felt a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. We knew that we had done everything we could to make the film the best it could be. We all congratulated each other on a job well done, and I felt grateful to have such a supportive and talented group of p

  Another production day has arrived but still there’s something missing. This day we planned on filming but something happened . One of my group mates had rehearsal and another had a personal mishap happen. Also, Transportation was a big factor in this filming day. No one was reallyclear on if they were able to meet up. Therefore, We couldn’t really all meet up at the same time because of different things we have to do on our schedules . Because of that we weren’t able to feel today. However, we did come up with some ideas of what to do. Based on the editing, Jeni would be in charge of that. We can help her in some ways but she has a strong sort of that. I can also learn how to edit as well because I can’t always rely on someone when it comes to future projects .filming this short film will be one of the group mates . it would change overtime depending on the scenes. I am not sure what     Jeni is using for her editing platform . hopefully it’s easy for her. I feel like we need to dis

 We have now reached our second day of filming and this time we were definitely ready to film and get more than one scene finished. The last time we filmed we encountered many issues that disrupted with our filming process, one of the major issues was the fact that the mall had closed before we were able to complete any other scenes. We did manage to get a few seconds of one but it was nearly enough for us to progress thoroughly with our production process and we needed to overcome this issue immediately. We all planned to meet up at an earlier time, this time we actually checked what time the mall was going to close so with that information we estimated the amount of time we would need to film our scenes before the mall closes. We also picked a different day from what we had picked last time just to see if the crowd levels in the mall may be less overwhelming than the day we had picked, which was also a problem we were met with the last time we filmed. The less people in the mall, the

 Another day of production was upon us and today was a special one! Production doesn’t just mean filming your shots or editing the takes. One key aspect of production is revising and changing things that logistically wouldn’t fit within the context of the film. For example, writing a scene where the cast visits a haunted mansion would be considered unrealistic. I personally enjoy revising ideas and correcting any problems that may be encountered in the production process. Some ideas don’t make sense until you try them in person rather than on a storyboard. Because of all this, the script needed to be adjusted accordingly to make a story that is not only entertaining but can be done without issues. As students, our production budget isn’t high whatsoever and our film likely will reflect that. To prevent any unexpected costs or inconveniences, a part that was seen as too much work had to be scrapped and will likely be replaced with a more cost-friendly and feasible option. The script was

 The mall just happened to be somewhat busy today. I don't expect the same occurrence for our next time filming. It really proved to be a hinderance as we tried moving to multiple different areas around the mall to try and find a spot where not much people would be cramped up in the background of our video. Although people were in the way we still managed to almost finish one scene. The next time we arrive we should be able to finish this scene. Worst case scenario is that we would have to move to another mall to film instead. Hopefully we don't suffer from the same experience next time when trying to film. Our next filming should be more productive since transportation should be easier to get. I look forward to our next film session.

 The group was supposed to film last week for our short film but due to busy schedules and limited access to transportation, filming had to be canceled and pushed back. Since the group contains 4 people, getting everyone in one place is difficult, especially with after-school activities and parents having to work. While this inconvenience slowed production down, it was predictable and we will have to adapt to it instead. The current plan is to film this week instead. Because the production was delayed, filming must occur in a day to knock it out simultaneously, rather than scene by scene.  Despite the delay, the group was still productive in time management and discussed ideas for future filming. Another issue for the production that came up is the location. In some places, filming isn’t allowed which isn’t a situation we can do much about. In case this does occur we have planned to film in an alternate store or parking lot and improvise with the environment.
