AICE Media Studies

This is my CCR. I had a lot of fun creating this. It took a lot more planning than I had originally thought it would. The hardest part was not laughing. Hope you enjoy it.

 My production is finished and the final product is ready. I spent countless hours on this project, but I think that it was well worth it in the end. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it. 

 Today i decided i would re look at the editing. I did this because I felt it was not completely finished. I realised that I was missing a shot. This was the final shot. Our movie heavily differed from our story board. The final shot is now the door closing after driving to the bad guys safe house. We had originally filmed exactly what was on our story board but the quick turn around of the re filming caused us to make some changes. We were however still able to use the same music. I did have to bring the audio levels down when the dialogue was present. While re-watching the film I noticed that the titles were different. in my haste to import them I forgot to change the final color. I chose blue and red as the initial colors on purpose. These colors represent the police lights. I chose to change the final color from purple to red because I feel that it stands out more in some of the darker lighting we used. I also changed the font the titles are in so they stand out better. The font I

Today I finished editing.  This is hopefully the last editing I will have to do! I used different music this time. The music that I used last time was not as good for the new type of editing. The movement at the end of the shots changed the flow. It was noticeably smoother. I used lots of fades and wipe transitions. I do not like iMovie for the transitions. The rest of the program is excellent. The transition was not a deal breaker. Re-filming was definitely a great idea. The reviews gave us great ideas and what to make sure we focused on. This made editing way easier. I did not have to spend lots of time equalizing the audio. The dialogue was easy to hear. We took multiple takes of dialogue to ensure we had everything. I sorted through and found the best of each. I then had to add the titles. The titles were not hard to add and only took me a minute to fully add them. Overall I think that the movie turned out great and the editing was improved greatly.   

 Baised on the reviews I recieved I decided to re film. I wanted to only refilm the necessary shots. I quickly found that this would be difficult. The first thing I did was make sure my group had all of the costumes and props. Ryan was responsible for the costumes for the president and one of the bad guys. Griffin was responsible for bringing a costume for a bad guy along with one of the good guys. Nick brought a costume for each along with the bandana. I was responsible for bringing the camera, the drone, and a few extra costumes. The forecast for the day was different from when we had originally filmed. This ment that we had to re film all of the shots that you could see the sky. These shots included the drone shot and all of the shots in the presidents house. I focused on starting each shot and ending them with a little bit of movement. I decided to do this to speed up the editing process. This movement was very little but I hope it will add lots of value. I also made sure to be a l

 I had my friends Titan, Katie, and Jorge review my film. They each watched the film three times. While watching they made notes. I asked them to review the film without any bias. Katies biggest complaint was with how the lighting looked while the car drove up and the people hopped out. She also did not like a couple of the placements of the titles. She also mentioned the dialogue is a little hard to hear. However, she said the drone shot was cool and added a unique perspective. Titan also liked the drone shot but added that the editing could have been smoother. This is something that I kind of noticed while editing but didn't know if it would be noticeable to viewers. I thought that I may have been hyper-focused on the exact transitions because I knew right where they were placed. I will definitely have to focus on this when re-filming and editing. Jorge didn't like the costumes and said that the president should have been dressed differently. He said that the jacket he wore r
