Production blog: End Result

Although my project has changed from my original idea, I am still very excited and happy with the results at the end of the day. Having started this project all the way back in February 15, I have witness how many changes because of the steps I have faced. One of the biggest changes I came upon was the scenes selected for the film because of the time frame. Having only two minutes for the film, when editing I witness that when adding all my takes the film went up to 3 minutes and 30 seconds. To correct this, many of the scenes I had in the film either had to be cut or shortened sacrificing some of the dialogue when it comes to characters interacting and even taking away the plot twist. With some scenes having to be deleted to fit the two minute time frame, I still made sure that the film still had scenes and had an aspect of the killer trying to kill the main character. Although I made to take away many scenes, I still feel like I captured the story I was trying to convey and for that reason I am not mad at the end result. Having this being my first two minute film was actually very exiting even with the struggles I faced. The reason why I enjoyed having this was this project assigned was because of all the new filming and editing techniques I learned and used during the making of the final product. Being able to uses these new techniques not only helped me to become better but, also helped the film to become better. When learning these new techniques like adding text that fades in and out of the film for the credit, it took a while as I wanted to figure out how long it should be on the screen and where it should be. Once I figured this out, adding the rest of the credit was easy and looked smooth since it would fade in and out. Another part was that took some learning was adding the music/ sound effect. Although I have done projects before that involved music like the "Gatorade X Wilson" commercial and the "Don't You Worry Child" music video, having music in this project was different. One key different in music between this project and the other was that in the other two mentioned the music was played all throughout the film without stopping but, in this project the music could stop and start again later on. I wanted to know how to perfect this as music in the film would make an impact having it create suspense. I would later be able to learn this as in the project, the music would also fade in and out smoothly. At the end of the day, I felt that this project helped me learn more than ever before. Being able to use the things I learned made me happy because it meant that my film would become better. Having this being said, I am very happy and excited that my final product is complete and the making of my film is officially finished.

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

  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

 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...
