AICE Media Studies: Production Blog

Image
 As of today filming has not yet started. It has been only been couple days since the last blog. However I did get updates on my living situations. Starting tomorrow I will be significantly closer to my house and the locations. This is great because we need to film. After that we can edit it and be done. Unfortunately I'll only be here for around 2 days. After that I'll be moving in a hotel for 9 nights. And then I'm set to move back into that location for another 3 weeks. Until my house is finished. Very hectic and stressful. But I'm sure spring break will help significantly. We are all set for filming. And we have all our actors too. I cannot wait to start. The editing might be the most fun part, of it all. At least for me, I enjoy that more than filming. Until then I'll be rushing to give updates on my work! and keep the blogs updated.

 As of today, no filming has been done. We have made a few tweaks to our storyboard. Also we have been collecting materials and props we would need. We bought a basketball as one of the major props. After that we used a pump to make sure its not deflated. The basketball is the most important prop of this project. And we needed to make sure we have everything settled. As for when filming will begin, I'm not sure. Next week will be my last week in this Airbnb. but my house isn't finished. So my mother is looking for other places to stay in the meantime. Wherever it is, Ill have to be there for 4 weeks. Which is annoying and irritating to even think about. But that's life so we have to deal with it. I could just ask my mother to drive me to the locations for filming. On the days she doesn't have work she probably can. But regardless it should be alright. The filming should be finished in a day or two. Then the hard part is over. Until then I guess I'll be waiting.

 As of today filming has not started. It will take a while in order for me and my partner to start recording. I'm still in the Airbnb, far away from every filming location. But soon I will be back in my home and ready to film. In order to film we will need a third actor as well. Luckily for us, I talked to our mutual friend and he said he'll help act. He's also in Media Studies, but he is in S level. While me and my partner are in AS. Along with that the three locations are close to his house, my partners house, and mine as well. We can start filming now but it would be very slow. And also very inconvenient for everybody involved. For now though we will be cleaning things up with our script. Just making sure things flow and look right. Sometimes there are little errors you forget to correct. But it's not that bad and I'm not changing anything major. Like I said only small details will be changed. Mainly storyboard angles and stuff. We will have to be resourceful and...

Until then we will also be talking to our third actor and plan out props, locations and all that good stuff. Now we are waiting till a good day in order to film and edit. Until then we will be going over our storyboard and making sure we have everything we need. In order to do a good job and make this project our best.

I'm a lot closer to the locations and it will be much easie r to film. 

AICE Media Studies: Final Task: Storyboard

Image
   The storyboard was a little challenging to make considering this was our first time writing such a long one. And also because of the fact that writing and drawing places you've seen in real life can be tricky and weird. Among other things, it was do-able and is pretty interesting. Over all this storyboard looks better than our previous storyboards and we are happy to have made.
