Aice Media Studies

 Starting off editing I emailed myself all the footage from my phone and downloaded it to my computer. Next I pulled up my editing app called clipchamp and imported all the videos onto the app. I then started to edit and crop the videos down to the correct length and size making sure the video reached and did not go over or under the time limit required. This was when the first of many editing problems started to occur. As I was importing the video into the app they were taking forever. Each and every video took like 7 minutes just to upload to the app even though they were only like 5 second clips. I tried fixing this just by shutting down my laptop and starting over. When I pulled back up Clipchamp and started to import my videos to put them all together the same thing was occuring so I just had to wait and wait until I got each and every clip into their and there was dozens. Instead of everything importing quickly I spent lots of time sitting there and just waiting and waiting f...

 About to film our last scenes we were all so excited and happy that everything went well and we had a very productive day. We started by filming of Teresa walking to her car as she maintained on the phone. This was shot as a long shot. Next was Teresa getting in her car and sitting down as she still was on the phone. This whole time filming it had to stay very quiet in order to hear the actresses movements and dialogue. The only time I told them not to worry about anything was the scenes were I knew I would be inserting music. So here was when a problem occurred as we were filming Teresa sitting down in her car on the phone someone pulled into the park with loud music. We didn't think anything of it because we were just thinking they would get out the car and go into the park but they didn't. The music occured for about 10 minutes as we waited until we realized they came to sit in the car and they probably wouldn't leave unless we said something. I walked over and asked po...

 After the whole situation was addressed with her dog and her concerns we started moving on to our final last scenes. We started filming again of the male actress walking to the driver's seat of the car. This was shot as a pan shot. Next is shown the actress grabbing a object out of his car when he turns around appears to be duck tape. This was shot as a long shot. The long shot continues as the actress goes to the back and opens up the back of the trunk. He then rips a piece of duct tape off and puts it over shares mouth. This was shot as a close up shot because we wanted the audience to feel connected with the situation and the helplessness that shows on the female actress face. The actress then closes the trunk this is shot. We shot this as a high angle as well. Mind you we brought the stool from my house to the park so when we needed to do the high angle scenes I was able to get that perfect shot by standing on that. Before we introduced actress teresa it was starting to get re...

 After introducing kendrick and the major point being introduced which is kidnapping we decided to take a break. I didn't want to waste to much time and people start coming and we regret not finishing on time. The plan we decided was for actress crystal and kendrick to go get us subs and drinks and while we waited. We took time out to eat and drink under the pavilion and talk about how the next sences are going to be pretty intense. We also laughed about how personally we look too innocent to be doing this so we prayed that it looked as real as possible and there acting can pull it of. We headed back over to the swings and starte the new change in the film. This shot is kendrick dragging shae back off the swing with his hand over her mouth still and she tries to scream. This was shot as a establishing shot because we wanted to really show the setting and show the fact this situation is really occurring this day, on this time, and this location. Here the location moves to the parkin...

Today we are giving it another try for filming our scenes at the park. We all first started by waking up really early getting ready and meeting at the location at a set time. Actress shae had to get back in costume making sure everything looked as before. We headed over to the park and started to take a look around to check if there is anyone presently there. We figured that we have came so early that even if there is a event planned like last time we were sure they weren't gonna be doing it at 9am in the morning. Looking around there was no one there no joggers, parties, volleyball players, basketball players, it was just a plain sight. For starters we started off with a mid shot of the actress putting on her head phones. The next shot is the actress dropping her phone as it falls on the ground. This was recorded as a tilt shot to really show the dramatics and weakness of the situation not knowing what is about to happen. The actress then bends down to pick up her phone. This was ...

 It is currently 3/13/21, even though we are a few days behind on the original dates we had discussed its okay because we did start early and still have a bunch of time left. Today was a couple days after filming all the scenes indoors. Today we decided that we will give it a try to go to the park and start recording our park scenes. It is currently a Saturday and actress kendrick and Teresa are on set and we have everything we need to continue. Looking at the location there isn't anyone we can see here yet the weather is good and it looks like the perfect day. To start this off we needed to get shae back in her costume exactly how we recorded a few days ago. She has put on her stockings, same shirt, shoes, and her pants as worn before. Now as filmed before her hairstyle was just down with her bangs in her face. Today we realized that it did look quite more frizzy then it did before so we just put water on it and waiter for it to dry up a little bit. After she was all ready to go w...

 This was the beginning of recording the fourth scene of the actress continuing putting on her props to go to the park. We moved this into scene four were she brought the sandals to the living room to put them on. The reason for this was because in this scene we will be introducing the next female actress crystal which in the film is known as shae's mom. Here we started off with shae putting on her sandals sitting on the step near the front door. We shot this as a high angle as well just because we like to subject alt of the actions being taken by the actress that involves the steps of her morning leading to the incident that will later occur. This is also good to use as it subjects things she's doing as getting ready to really make her look vulnerable and create the mood looking powerless just to really set the feeling for the audience that she is no threat. The actress then stands us turns around looking in another direction. This was shot as a tilt angle which was done by st...

 Now that the first scene was recorded before moving on to the next scene I needed to go over the first scenes shots before starting the next. I asked everyone to take a 30 minute break as I do so. During this I used my storyboard template to look at every little detail, movement, and type of shot. While going through the videos I realized that all the video where shot clean and as written by the timing of it was almost 18 seconds. This was because there was a lot of starting and ending time throughout the clips so that could have been easily fixed by cutting them during my editing phase. After this I went to get something to eat and drink before performing the next scene. Now that it was time this next scene started off with the actress walking to the bathroom where the next scene occurred briefly. This was shot in a pan shot so you can see the distance and location from the actress room to the bathroom. Here we started with the actress at the bathroom sink grabbing her toothbrush...

 Now that we have finally rearranged everything with where we are filming what days we are going to film it is time to start the filming. It is currently 2/6/21 and I have decided today I will be filming all indoor scenes. I started off by cleaning up the location making sure all lighting were on point and the same in different areas and everything should be a easy slate for shooting. This day we would have only needed the actresses shae and crystal, kendrick and teresa didn't need to be present on the set until the day we changed locations to the park. Before shooting I came up with a technique because my hands shake alot that I need to find something that the camera is steady while filming or if its following someone it's turning smoothly and not shaklee. This was done by using a tall stool in my house I easily set the camera on it and propped behind a book so I was able press play, stop, and turn it. The first scene is the the female actress shae laying on the bed. This was...

 Trying to arrange and prepare everything for filming my music video is a essential to take care of for this final task. Things im starting to take care of is trying to find a more of a accurate day to film my project. This would be best to film when there isn't any people at the park due to accusations and covid. I don't want to film on a day that there is a bunch of kids running around interfering in the film and also not taking 6-feet safety precautions for covid. My film is going to be based off of a kidnapping of a girl from the park and being thrown in the trunk and a individual witnessing this can really cause some troubles if they don't know what's really going on. I don't want people thinking there is a actual kidnapping going on due to this not being a actual filming site and its a public area that people can assume and make accusations off of what they see. The real plan for this is taking a day from school where there will be most likely no kids because ...
