AICE Media Studies - Welcome Back!

 Welcome back to my blog! My last project was so much fun and I cant wait to finish this one. I have learned so much from the last 2 projects. From the first project, I learned a lot about wat goes into editing and what technology is best for it. This will be extremely helpful in our in the process of the final project. In the second project, the music video, I learned a lot about camera angles and how to film in a professional manner. Between all of these things that I've learned, I cant wait to put them all into action together. My group for the last 2 projects has only improved and I could not have picked a better group. I have always wanted to know more about the background of movies and how they are created. This project will teach me so much about the process and how it works. I have family members that write music for movies and it has always been interesting to me. I can't wait to learn more about the filming aspect rather than the music aspect of movies. There is so much that goes into every scene and some of these behind the scenes employees deserve a lot more credit. Between picking a genre and actually writing a plot, this will be a very fun experience. I have always liked horror movies so I might try to push my group for that genre. At the same time, action movies are always interesting to watch so that could be another option. After picking the genre, the hardest part will be creating a plot. It is always difficult to start stories or essays so I cant imagine how hard it'll be to start a movie. The filming will be easy because my group is not at all camera shy. I cant wait to finish this project and show it off to everyone.

Critical Reflection

My short film for A-level Aice Media Studies was titled “The Beaten Path”. The film was about a man who was simply following his daily routine and going for a run when he came across a dead body on the path. The film details the following few days in which the police are involved, the body is covered up, and the killer is exposed. The film challenged conventions by showing corruption within employment. The killer was discovered to be the very same park ranger that was alerted to the body in the first place, allowing him time to dispose and cover up his tracks before the police could investigate. This shows how even the people we trust and look to for help could be something unexpected and that we need to be careful with who is trusted and who is hired for important positions in the world. There are important background checks that are commonly overlooked when certain applications are submitted for employment. The effects that this can have point towards corruption and can only lead t...

Editing !!

Image
 Today Zane started the editing process. After a long wait, filming is finally complete and editing can begin. He will use Adobe Editing Software for most of the editing and maybe iMovie for the rest. The editing is really easy for him and he enjoys it so I don’t have to do much editing. I’ve tried and asked but he refuses to let me touch editing because he enjoys it. He edited the last video so it was easier for him to just do this one too. When he is done, I will get opinions from other people on what to do better next time. There were new angles in this video that I would like outside opinions on. I will ask a bunch of different people to hopefully get honest opinions. Once reviewing the finally opinions, I can finalize the video for submission. Most of the editing will be done separately because it is easier that way. I cant really help a lot either way so it’s not like Zane will need me for anything. He said he hopes to finish early so he has time to review. I will also review...

Short film research: Jet, Thriller Genre

Image
    The film is called "Jet". The film begins with an over-the-shoulder shot of a man in a car peering through the front windshield. In the distance, an automobile speeds up a slope. The camera pans to the side of the man's head, revealing that he intends to murder himself as he draws a handgun to his side. A little girl bounces down the street at that very moment, and the man puts the gun away in the van, pulls up, and kidnaps the daughter, making him think about what to do next. The scene then cuts to a man cautiously making his way across a woodland line, looking to see where the car had gone, and then sprinting through the trees toward the house. He stays in the bush, dashes across the front yard, and hides behind the vehicle just in time to see a man come over and take the girl out. After turning a corner, the man runs across two more men and kills them both. The man then discovers the girl seated on a stool, while the title card plays. The film excels at using noise...
