AICE MEDIA STUDIES

 Today is March 31st; me and my group started editing the scenes we filmed. I went to my group member Charles house to start editing. It will take awhile to edit the scenes and put the music in the film. We got a lot of time on the scenes, so we will need to make sure the film is around two minutes. The first thing I did was trying to find thrilling music to fit the scenes. I found some on YouTube, but I need to make sure I pick the right one. Me and Charles are trying to find a way to make the actors dialogue has higher volume because it is a little low. I believe that we will be able to solve the problem. Our title sequence look very good so far. I edited it to make it look spooky and to fit what the film is about.  I also explored possible animation I can include in the film. But I am not too sure if I will use any because it might not fit with the thriller genre. Charlie will be the main editor throughout this whole process, and I'll be there to help him, and give him advice. M

 Today is March 28th, and me and my group filmed scenes 9-12 today. Me and my group took a couple days of filming off for spring break, and we finished filming the scenes today. Me and my group had very good recordings today and we filmed them at the park. I was relieved today was our last day needed to film. In scene 9, the kidnapper and Nick approach a vehicle to get in, and Nick refused to go in and asked for an explanation for everything that is going on. This scene took us a couple of tries but it was relatively easy. Me and my group used eye level shots and over the shoulder shots. The kidnapper did explain what was happening, which gave Nicks trust. In scene 10, the kidnapper sat Nick down and told him everything about the victim, who is now the enemy. My group member kept forgetting his lines since there was a lot, I did too, but we finished in a good amount of time.  This will be in a eye level shot and will show a flashback into scene 11. This scene was one of the hardest sce

 Today is March 17th, and me and my group filmed scenes 6-8 after school yesterday. Me and my group planned to finish the filming yesterday but it started raining so we have to finish the rest of the scenes in the coming days. I was very disappointed since me and my group didn't finish filming all the scenes. This is the second time me and my group got rained on while filming. However, me and my group very good scene/recording today. The scenes today were filmed at the park. In scene 6, the kidnapper re-visited the scene and talks about their history with the victim. The kidnapper explains his jealousy, and this is revealed in the title sequence. This scene was most likely our longest scene and had a bit of difficulty. It took a while for us to remember our lines in the dialogue between the kidnapper and the victim. I was very relieved after this scene because the other scenes were not as hard in this scene. Me and my group used eye level, wide angle, and tracking shots in this sce

  Today is March 14th and me and my group filmed scenes 1-5 today after school. Me and my group were at the park for about an hour today filming and got good recordings today. I was eager to get started on filming the scenes since we could not the other day since it started raining. The first scene was me opening a door to a mystery, I filmed this scene earlier today and it only took about 15 seconds; it was in mostly eye level and I made sure to seem confused about the mysterious things. After this scene, I went to the park with my group members to film the other scenes. This scene is where I was walking towards the basketball court with the victim. This scene was a long shot. It took us about five minutes to get this scene right because people on the courts kept getting in the way. Me and my group were also trying to get the camera to focus. It was also pretty windy so me and my group had to retry a couple times.   The next scene was also at the basketball court and the scene was me

 Today is March 10th and me and my group were getting ready to start filming our scenes. Me and my group planned to film our first couple scenes today at the park after school finished. But just as soon school finished, it started pouring outside so me and my group had to adjust our plan quick. I told my group members that they can come to my house, and watch more example films of thriller. Me and my group know exactly what we need to make a great thriller film, but watching example films does not hurt. I was really looking forward to filming the first couple scenes today. But me and my group made the best of the situation. Me and my group also decided that we will begin filming on Saturday since the weather will be perfect. Some of the thriller films we watched were Blacklight, and Old. Me and my group almost changed our minds and went to the park after it dried, but it got dark so we couldn't.    I saw the music in the films we watched today and I believe that I picked great musi

 Today is March 7th and me and my group have worked on the music we will use in our film. I have already started the process of using the music in the film that will best fit for the certain scenes. At first, me and my group could not decide what music to use for the film. But me and my group searched different thrilling and establishing music and we found the ones me and my group like best. Me and my group will use establishing music for the beginning of the film. And my film will use thrilling music for climax and important events. Important events such as the kidnapper in our film escaping, and the vehicle driving off. The establishing music will take place for about the first 20-30 seconds of the film and get the film to establish a meaning and help the audience get interested. Me and my group will use many different thrilling music for the scenes. Me and my group want to make sure the music makes sense for the certain scenes being used.  I have already started filming the scene wh

Here is our storyboard, and everything that will be included in our film!! Sheet 1: To start off our film, Nick opens the door to a question, this question will make the audience wonder what he exactly is looking for, in which he is looking for a mysterious item. Something that connects the characters involved in a mysterious way. To capture this we will use many angles, like eye line shots, and even some wide angle shots.  Next, nick, and the victim will walk towards the basketball hoop, thinking that the mysterious item they are looking for is near there. This scene will require a long shot. As that scene concludes, the next will also primarily take place at the basketball hoop, as nick and the victim begin to question themselves on where exactly the eerie item is. Long shots will continue to be used, but also an over the shoulder shot, and eye level shots. Nick and the victim begin to become concerned, as they believe they are being scammed, so they call the one again "mysterio
