Production blog: Sick Day

During the week of spring break, I was suppose to finish up all my filming and editing for this project but, things didn't go as plan. Having already done the second part of editing, I was going to use the week to re-film any scenes that had mistakes or were too long. The reason I was going to do it that week is because we had no school, meaning that I could finish it since I would have the whole day. The reason why I didn't get to film during these days and add to my project was because on of the actors got sick (stomach flu/bug). Having it being the main actor of the film made it worse since they were in every scene, meaning that no filming could have happened without him. Having this happen also made me decide not to film anything for the safety of everyone working on the project. Having this illness spread through contact with the infected meant that if we were to film with the actor, we all would be at risk of getting the illness. Since I didn't want to put the safety of everyone at risk, I felt that it would be better to not film until the actor felt healthy enough to where he could act and not get anyone sick. Luckily it is not going to take long before we can start filming again as the actor has already started to feel much healthier as he was finishing up the last few days of being sick. This means that once we are able to start filming again, I am going to finish up and finally wrap up this project in the filming and editing process. This meaning that the final product will be finished the the film will be complete. Although I didn't get to finish filming the final parts of the project, the days of spring break didn't go to waste. Instead of not doing nothing during the time the actor feels sick, I decided to spend the time editing the parts of the film I did have. Even though I already edited it for the most part during the second part of editing, I went back to look at it even more closer. During this time I copied the film into a different project. This copy of the film would then be the part that would be messed with during the editing process without messing up the original until filming begins again. This would also help me at the end because just in case I do like how the copy ended, I can just work on it from there and forget about working on the original. When working on the copy of the film, my goal was to try to get it to the shortest amount as possible. When this was finished, I was happy with how it ended up looking but, I still was going to keep the original while work on both of them to see which one turns out better. I would then pick the one I like more as the final product of the project.

Planning for the final task: location, health, schedule and more

Image
  Schedule: 3/1/21- 3/2/21:   Actors will revive script and storyboard. This will give the actors time to take in the film and understand what they will do and prepare for their roles. During this time the actors will be able to ask any questions about the film and eliminate any confusion before filming. 3/3/21 All props and costumes will be gathered in order to prepare for filming to begin. This will help as it wouldn't leave me in a rush at the end to get the supplies I need while making sure that I have them without risking a store not having it in stock. 3/4/21- 3/22/21:   The first set of filming will take place. During this time I will record all takes of the scenes with different angles. This will then allow me to review what I like and didn't like in the following days. 3/23/21- 3/24/21:   The first part of editing will take place. In these days I will review all the takes closely and make sure that I have scenes that I want keep and others that I might have...

Starting the Final Task

Image
 My name is Juan Guerrero, I am currently in the 11th grade at Fort Lauderdale High School. I have taken four Aice classes including the classes i'm taking this year. If I pass all my Aice classes this year, I would be reward my Aice diploma. This school year I decided to take Aice Media Studies to explore the process of filming. Currently, I have expected everything from this course, challenging us to create film with including filming techniques like camera angles. So far, I have created 2 videos composing of a commercial and a music video. Now getting close to the end of the school year and near the Aice exams, I have been challenged with creating the final task. In this final task, I am suppose to create the introduction of a film only being the first two minutes of it. For this final task I will be working by myself, noting having any other teammates besides personal friends to be actors in the film. The reason I decided to work by myself is because of the creative liberty I w...

Enhancement in Filming and Editing

Image
Being that this project was the second official filming project I had, their definitely things I changed during and after I finished the project. Although I knew I was happy with the results, there was still for improvement and with the time I had left before the music video was truly due thats what I did. If I felt that a scene should be reshot or edited more thats what I did. By doing this, I would make my film look better as I improved the shots took and the smoothness of the film. I believe making these changes truly helped my film as developed the storyline. One of the main reasons why I decided to change a few scenes is because of how I felt with them. Looking over the film and being "ok" with a scene didn't fit right with me and thats why I decided to change it by redoing them to improve camera quality and camera angles to better fit the screen. One scene that was effected by this was the close-shot of the eyes as when filmed the camera was centered correctly, eith...
