AICE media studies

  As I stated in my last production blog, I changed the title of the movie to something more relevant to the story. From now on the film will be called "Hero of The Nunchucks." This project was so much fun to work on these past few months. I hope to use this experience as a reference for when I create my own personal content in my free time. I surely hope you enjoy the opening scene of  what would be a very spectacular action-comedy film.

  For my final production blog I just want to talk about the final changes made to my opening scene. All that was left to do really involved adding the music to the scenes that it would play through. I'm hoping to change the title by the end of the day before I start to work on my final task blog. Apart from that, the now finished opening scene came out so well that I can't help but smile at the work I created. Both my cast members and parents reviewed the finished product and said they enjoyed watching it very much. At some scenes they even began laughing at what was happening in the film. To me this means I successfully delivered the type of action comedy I was looking to produce. I am more confident then ever with my work because of their feedback. Working alone on this project did prove to be a challenge at first but everything going on in the world right now I considered it to be my best option.  Although this pandemic has greatly impacted the choices I made throughout tak

 On April 10th, I successfully recorded all my shots for the opening scene I've been working on. The finish product resulted to about 1 minute and 46 seconds of footage. However, a lot of factors played in to why this came about. Originally, before I started editing the second half of the scene, the total time added up to about 2 minutes and 16 seconds. Further examination was made which required me to cut one scene out. In the shot Mc was walking away towards the bad guy and his assault on a random victim. Unfortunately, my shadow was caught in the scene as well. This setback not only ruined the shot to be used but there's just not enough time to reshoot and try again. Apart from that I continued to knock back the total time under 2 minutes so that it wouldn't go past the time limit. Once that was taken care of, I added the remaining title cards needed for my project up until the end. This included who the film was produced by, directed by, and filmed by. Because I chose t

April 8th, final filming session will be scheduled for tomorrow. I can't wait to get these shots out of the way and focus on editing. The best part is I am completely free afterschool to work on it. Usually I may have track practice which deters me from filming during week days. Thus, weekends are the most optimal and productive days to shoot scenes. I contacted my cast members to verify if they would be available tomorrow for shooting. Luckily, their response was yes so working on this project has been confirmed and scheduled. Apart from this, nothing else has changed. I'm still hindered from editing my final project any further until I've recorded the last 56 seconds. The only thing I fear may go wrong is if major props, costumes, or cast members are missing on set. It's been so long since my last recording session was done up until now. There have been multiple accounts where filming had to be cancelled or postponed due to resources missing off set. Everything else l

       April 5th, not much went into today's production session. I've decided to keep the song and movie title of my opening scene the same. It wasn't a bad choice to begin with but up until now I couldn't think of anything better. For the time being I still need to record the last 56 seconds of my scene. With the project deadline coming up, this must be done as soon as possible. Currently, Districts for Track and field is April 13th. This means I only have a few days before and two days after to work on my final project. A lot of my time ill be focus on preparing for the meet in advance for the next week. Thus, managing my time for finishing my opening scene will be quite challenging. I still have yet to add the music into the opening scene as well as more edits. The remaining pieces of the film are essential to matching the music with what's happening. Moreover, once I have my completed film made and ready, more title cards can be added to show the conclusion of t

 April 1st, Currently my final project is about a minute and 4 seconds long. After editing all the scenes shot so far, some shots will be scratched in future recordings at the rate I am going. Personally, I knew this would happen since we were required to make over 60 shots for the storyboard. However, the 2 minute limit is not enough time to cover every scene that I had planned out. I anticipated that the scenes I have now would total up to about 40 seconds or less. Clearly this wasn't the case. It is my belief that because I didn't take into account how adding title cards would affect the shots, each scene increased gradually time. As of right now, the name of the studio producing the film to who the music in the video is by has all been included. This means I need to add at least 5 more title cards into my final project. Recording the rest of my project is the goal set for today. With one more filming session to go, all I have to do is focus on editing and making my opening
