Janelle's AICE media blog

 We finished up filming this weekend. The last two scenes were very easy to film. It only took about an hour. We then went through all the clips we had and decided which ones we liked. We ended up having to reshoot one scene because my finger was in the shot. We then cut out the beginning and end of each clip because the beginnings and ends were of us setting up of saying something not pertaining to the shot. We then put them together in one cohesive clip. We now have to go back and add sounds and sound effects.

  Our group began filming this week. We jumped right into filming once we got to the location. The hardest part was finding a good angle that would encompass the shot we wanted. Once we found that angle it was difficult to have the camera be steady. We had to balance multiple things under our camera. Once we started trying to film we found that it was hard for both of us to be in a scene together without laughing or smiling. The only shot we had planned to shoot together that needed to be serious was the first one. We simply made it so I was out of frame and we filmed it easy enough after. We found the best method of filming was to shoot a single scene multiple times then choose which one we liked best. We got a little more than half done and plan to finish shooting the rest later this week. Until then we want to start finalizing cuts we're going to use and determine if anything already filmed needs to be reshot. 

Chelsey and I decided we would play the three characters in our film. We would just change our costumes. We've already gone over props to make sure we already have or can readily get the props needed for our film which include: handcuffs, teddy bear, ipad, and mustache. We're going to film in an empty classroom. We will film for a few hours on two Fridays. We've already written a script and will film with an Ipad and phone.

  I drew the story board while Chelsey and I talked about our film. We both had a ton of input on camera shots and angels, sounds, and transitions for our film. It is a flashback film.
