On Thursday the 30th, I started filming.Since it was just me it was more convenient since I can go whenever I have free time instead of needing multiple people in a group to be free.As the sole person working on it I had costumes to represent certain characters.I tried to talk very loud so my voice does not come out bad.I tried to pick a place outside that was not too busy but there was a lot of cars so I had to improvise and pick a different place.The passing cars and airplanes by the park were pretty annoying so I had to improvise and film somewhere else.There were times where my performance felt lackluster and I also felt my style of clothing could have been a lot more casual to fit certain scenes.I tried to film in the morning so the sun could be out cause I felt it was more appropriate especially since in one of the scenes I needed a hangout spot. Moving the camera was very weird until I thought to just place it down and record. It was a little worrying because my phone could have fallen and I would lose the footage but it worked out. It felt weird talking to nobody but that will be fixed later so I did not think about it too much.I feel like I could have done better even with the constant takes I still did not find one I was very confident with. I feel like I might have to do even more takes so it can be as great as I imagined it to be. Maybe if I was in the park like I intended to it would give the feeling I was hoping for. My main prop was a mask but I did use papers for labels if I really needed to make sure a character stood out. Some parts needed to be cleaned but a paper towel and some water worked nicely for any parts that looked dirty. The process was very time consuming and my constant mistakes in voice lines did not help either. My family did need me for things so that did not help either. The weather also changed quite a bit like when it started drizzling out of nowhere.Things may not have gone my way but I did get some progress in even if it was not much. Overall while I feel that I definitely could have done better it was not a bad experience and it has shown me that it is not as easy as I thought it would be.

                                               AICE Media Studies Group Blog For this project I will be working by myself. This decision was mostly because I do not know anyone well and have not made a friend yet at this school. At first I considered it a downside.With a group we could split up the work and would require me to do less and focus on other things simultaneously. As a result of being alone it would cause me to have to do a lot of things on my own and getting adjusted to with certain tasks. I feel like the most challenging part of this project especially with going solo would have to be the filming. The rest of the project definitely will not be a joke as I am gonna have to learn how to video edit and actually start video editing despite me having never done it before. However while being alone had a lot of downsides it had upsides as well. Working alone me...

The filming Homestretch(Production Blog) AICE Media Studies

 On Thursday, the 9th I started putting on the finishing touches to everything I had already filmed. At this point I have done all the  filming  by myself. I improved a lot on dancing and acting but now was the time to start to finish up. Slowly but surely I was able to get the hand of my steps and sins. I was able to have all the costumes prepared and ready to go. At this point all the props had fulfilled their purpose. I had all the clothing I needed to change into neat me for an easy and quick process. I made sure that the lighting was dark but not so dark that nothing could be seen. The background noise was kept to minimal which allowed for smooth recording. I got all of my scenes done the way I had envisioned it but I did make sure to keep practicing so it can be as good as possible. I continued to film scenes over and over again while taking a few short breaks. Scenes 1 and 7 proved to be a breeze to complete this time especially on comparison to the other times. Sc...
