D.T. AICE Media Studies

This is my final task. My partner and I put a lot of effort into this. We hope our audience enjoys it.

Through all the hard work and consistency, my partner and I got our task done. We were satisfied with our end result. We got all the scenes we wanted. We got all the angles we wanted. Our conventions were up to our standards. Our music was suspenseful and brought the feeling that we wanted. I wanted to be sure that other people thought the same thing of our film. I gathered a family member, and a  friend to view our film. We needed the outside opinion. I was not sure whether they would be biased or not, so I chose one teacher at my school to give an opinion. A teacher that neither of us were students for. Now we have a three outside opinions, one which is a non-biased source. After we show our film to our viewers we will see what they think. If they think anything small should be changed, we will make small changes without altering the plot or progression of our task. Through all this the most important thing is to keep our main story and our scenes the same. Our first viewer which...

We have finally finished our final task. Now we must move forward to our final review. Once we began reviewing, we noticed that some of our expressions and conventions are not exaggerated. This made our work seem dull. If we wanted to amplify our task, we needed to find a way to exaggerate it. For the expressions that were not exaggerated, we decided to reshoot the scene. We gathered all of our equipment. I headed to her house to reshoot the scenes. We needed the same props as the previous scenes. The same costumes as previous scenes. The same lighting as the scenes we did get right. We tried not to make anything seem out of place from our other scenes. Now that we have everything the same, we shot our scenes again. This time all of our emotions were exaggerated. Now it was time for us to edit our new scenes. While wanted our color schemes to pop out and be easily seen. We wanted to show the zooms and all the camera movements. In this remake, we did everything that we wanted. Our film ...

 After watching our work we compared it to other opening scenes. In popular horror films there are plenty elements that give it the suspenseful feeling. We decided to use another popular editing application. "iMovie" is exclusive to Apple devices. Although we have not used it in a long time, it is not something we are new to. We went through the same steps of editing on iMovie, but used different transitions and fonts. We found that one of the applications offered more effects than the other. We used the application that we found offered better effects for our genre. The application with more sudden transitions. The one that had a better color scheme. The one that was better for editing in general. We compared both of our final tasks. One of them was obviously better than the other. We ended up choosing the task done on Capcut. We felt the work done on it was more professional. This task would be more entertaining than the task done on iMovie. 

 Now that all of our scenes our done, it is time to edit it. The app that my partner and I will use to put my final task together is Capcut. Both of us have previously used CapCut for our own work and our own enjoyment. We both already have a previous account so there is no signing up. I can quickly and easily get started. The first task that we had to do was trim my scenes to the desired length. A few of my scenes ended up being a little too long. Some of the other scenes had a few seconds of us acting out of character. Extra time like this had to be gone before I could put the task together. Once we were finished with trimming extra seconds, we put my scenes together. This was fastest task in our final task. Putting all the scenes in order was quick and easy. After getting all my scenes in order, I focused on transitions. I did not want my transitions to be too flashy. Instead, I made them clean and simple. After getting all this ready I was nearing my final task. Putting the son...

 Today is what my partner and I planned to be our final day of blogging. It had to be the same as the previous days. I got the same costume from my closet. I headed over to her house. Put all of our props in place. Made sure we had the same lighting. Now it is time for us to begin filming the last of our movie. My partner and I are extremely dedicated to finishing our film. We are willing to do anything to finish our film. The process has been long and tedious. We were ready for filming. We began our last scenes but we had to hurry. We were running out of time and it was getting late. We were in a slight rush to get it done before my mom decided it was time for us to go home. With only a few scenes left to film we were going to get it done. We managed our time wisely and we finished our film. There were a few mistakes that forced us to reshoot a scene. A little bit of it felt rushed, but we were glad it is all over. Now it is time to move on to our next task. We have to move on to ...

My partner and I decided we need to focus and get a huge portion our filming done. We watched over the scenes that we already filmed and were not impressed. We thought that we could easily do better. We decided that we should start over fresh. This time we entered more determined. Wanted to feel as if we were real actors. Once we started over, we tried to implement all our conventions. Our costumes were straight from our closets. We utilized different angles. We showed different camera movements. We even added the use of sounds. Our main prop which was a doll was designed to look like one of our actors. We wanted to make it seem as if the inanimate object came to life out of thin air. Scene by scene we got different shots in. There was one scene where the camera was moving following two characters. The person holding the camera alternated between the characters in the film. There were scenes that had to be shot twice due to the camera shaking in the hands of the cameraman. There were a...
