AICE Media Studies

  This is the final piece of my final task. The whole process was fun and also creative. I love how it increased my creativity over the time I was completing the project. I was very stressed out during this period of time because things kept happening and problems kept coming up. But, it was well worth it because I’m very proud of the outcome!

This whole final project is very hard to be honest. It’s not hard because it’s complicated. This project is hard because there’s a lot riding on this final project. Also, me being the person I am, I’m putting way more pressure on myself when it comes to this project. I know how important this is so I want to make sure everything is perfect. I know nothing is perfect but I want to make sure that I pass this exam when it comes down to it. I want to make sure I get my Cambridge diploma. The last day of editing my project didn’t help decrease the amount of stress I already had on myself either. Instead it added to it. Like I said, this last part was very stressful. It took me a while to finish setting up the title sequence for the film. This was because my editing software was running slow. It took a long time to process what I asked for. I was so worried that I wouldn't have been able to complete the title sequence. I ended up adjusting to the slowness of the software. Although it was

My group mates and I had our short film reviewed. We got it reviewed by our band teacher. Her name is Ms. Lotocky but everybody calls her LoLo. We were so lucky to get our film reviewed by LoLo when we did. She gave us helpful tips to edit and fix our film. From her critiques, we learned that we needed to refilm a specific scene in our film. After refilming that scene we added it to our editing apps and fixed everything up to make sure the scenes flow. LoLo also mentioned that we our cuts and edits were kind of choppy. Luckily we had time to fix everything and make it look nice. The editing process is taking longer than what I had expected. The hardest part is what I believed would be the easiest. That part is importing scenes onto my computer then onto my editing software. Working on my title sequence was much easier than I thought as well. LoLo also pointed out that the background music was kind of loud. I thought that I fixed that but something might’ve went wrong while I was editin

  During the whole process of making my film, there was a realization that I received. That realization was that some parts of the plot, made no sense whatsoever. So, changes were made to the plot. The changes were made right before the filming process started. The storyboard and planning were both finished, but I wasn't content with the plot. So, there were multiple changes in the whole plan of the music video. There was changes in characters, the storyline, and even a location. So, my original main character had to cancel due to personal reasons. I had to find a new main character and quick. Gratefully, I was able to find one.There will be a change in the main location too. Our new location had to be a gas station because we couldn’t find an auto shop to use as our filming area. An additional location will be a car. And of course, the storyline will be changed as well. So, the first couple of scenes will be changing. The film will no longer start off with the main character’s sto

For me and my group’s film we wanted a outside perspective on how it looked before submitting our final piece. We did not want any friends or family reviewing it because we didn't want any bias to be portrayed in the review. Instead we wanted one of instructors to evaluate our piece because they are very experienced in that field. Utilizing our teachers is very convenient because they are very accessible to us. Since we see them everyday for classes finding the time to talk to them would not be an issue. Deciding which teacher would review our film was the difficult part. All of our relationships with our teachers are different. We really wanted to make sure that no bias was present. Since we all have Ms. Lotocky as our band teacher we all agreed to ask her. Gratefully, she agreed to review our media. First, she complimented the acting. She said that emotions were portrayed really well. She also really enjoyed the overall theme we incorporated in our film. Although we did a lot of

The beginning of editing this project was very interesting. I used new editing apps for this final task. These apps made my grroup's final project 10 times better. But, it was kind of hard because I wasn't used to using these new apps. The new editing software apps that I used were Filmmaker Pro and Cute Cut. I was also able to remember tricks that I usually use while editing. My back up editing app that I used for extra edits was CapCut.I also used iMovie. So, I used all of these apps to make sure that my project came out the way that I wanted it to. While getting all of my clips together, I noticed that I had to re-film some clips. I have to re-film for 3 reasons. One reason was that the clips were never filmed. What I mean by that is the actors were acting, it’s just the camera never pressed play. The second reason is that I ran out of storage and had to make some space to finish filming. The third reason is that it just needs a retake so it can look and flow better when I e
