AICE Media Studies

Here is my final product. Hope you enjoy it.

FINALLLYYYY. Finally done with this project. I would like to thank my sister for allowing me to boss her around. I was definitely having second doubts that it wouldn't be good enough, but it is what it is. I was definitely having major procrastination periods and did not want to do anything. Despite it all, I pushed through and got the work done... eventually. I won't lie, it was rough trying to wrap this whole thing up. With filming and the blogs, it was a doozy doing them simultaneously. I let another friend of mine watch my final project. They said how it was definitely unique compared to others they've seen. This was because of the stuffies I used for extra actors. They enjoyed how I had smooth transitions between clips. Especially, the one from the establishing shot to the tilt down to the actress. However, they noticed how the acting was subpar. Which is valid since my sister is not the best out there. Honestly, I would probably do way better if I were to be more moti

YO, what is up gang. My friend, Kailee (I think that's how to spell her name), let me watch her final task. When I watched it, I was surprised by how good it was. Compared to what I did, she had a very different approach to the horror genre. I really enjoyed the screams in their film. Also, I liked how it was so mundane and how. Also, I really enjoyed the ringing of the phone. It is obvious that it was added in for me, but it was really realistic. She said that her group initially had one ring, but I am glad they changed it to two rings. There was also a scene that had one of her friend's brothers run across the screen. Personally, I found it funny despite it being a horror film. Although, the production was definitely like a middle school film project. I also did not catch all of the camera angles and shots used for the film. But, I'm pretty sure that her film did not have an establishing shot, but she probably tweaked it by the time she was done. There was also the ending

What is good, my viewers! When it came to music, I searched on YouTube for "royalty-free music scary". Looking through the videos that popped up, none of them really stood out. So, I decided to click on them and look through the recommended videos to look for music that I liked. There was this one song that I liked, it fitted with my film a lot. However, I did not realize that it was already copyrighted. I heard from my friend that it took them weeks for them to contact them back for permission. So, I decided not to go through with emailing them. After that bummer, I went to look for other songs that had a similar vibe to the song I liked. I then saw another similar song, but it also had a thing in its bio saying to contact them for use. Since I did not really like how it sounded, I decided to look for another song to use. I had my sister help me, but she barely did anything to do so. She found a song or two, but it was nothing I was envisioning. Also, the songs she found sai

What is UP, guys? When I finally finished my final project, I got my sister to review my film and give me her input. When she watched it, she actually gave me good feedback. Firstly, she liked the transitions between scenes. For some scenes, she could barely see the cut between scenes. She also found the placement of the title sequence very clever. Saying how the way they were presented was eye-catching and easy to read. Also, throughout the film, she made small comments on how the camera was pretty steady. She continued by saying how she liked the diverse use of camera shots and how they flowed with the rest of the scenes. Near the end, she liked how there was a comedy aspect to it. Although I did not really intend it, she said how it gives it more character since it would have been cringe if it was an actual person playing that part. Which, I agree to, and would also feel like it would have been out of place since I was looking for a more supernatural kind of vibe. However, there was

What's up, gang. When it came to editing, I had to remove all of the scrapped scenes that I did not like. Then, I replaced them with the clips I redid. To call it tedious was an understatement, it was rough. Not only did it mess up my title screen, but it also messed up with the transitions I had. So, it was very infuriating to redo all of that as well. As I edited my project, I got the gist of it and began mindlessly editing. That way, I could trick myself into thinking that it is going way faster than it actually is. However, while editing, I was messing with my project when I accidentally closed out of it while trying to exit out of a notification. Not only did I accidentally lose most of my progress, but it also meant that I had to restart the splicing and editing of the three clips. So, I had to remove those clips and redo all of those clips. Also, I had to fix the transitions from the other clips that were next to those clips since they also got messed up. I was filled with r
