AICE Media Studies

Pitch A: A mechanic works to earn enough money to become a race car driver and joins the big race. Pitch B: A secret agent enters a Russian criminal's home and a battle ensues, resulting in high-stakes action. Discuss Pitch A: This pitch could work very well with the materials we have at hand. Logan works as a mechanic, so we can utilize his workplace as a set. Additionally, he races as a hobby so we can use this for filming as well. Overall, we have a lot at our disposal for this specific project. Additionally, the theme of this story interests our group. The idea of pure dedication and drive fueling a mechanic to move upwards in life is a sentiment we enjoy being put into film. The pure work the driver is putting in shows a central message that anything is possible, as long as you want it enough. This pitch has a good central theme and is realistic to film. Discuss Pitch B: This specific pitch is also realistic, as the main setting is a residential home. So, one interior is much ...

This year , I chose to work with Ryan and Griffin. Ryan and I have been friends since 4th grade. Recently Ryan and I have become closer and have been hanging out more. In January we are going to take a trip to Tampa Florida. I know that Ryan has recently obtained his boater's license. We are now able to go wakeboarding and water skiing on the weekends. Ryan and I were very happy when we found out we were in the same media studies class. When we found out we knew immediately that we would work together. The only issue is that Ryan and I are in different periods. We only need one other person to make our group complete. The first and only person that Ryan and I found was Griffin. Griffin and I had been in a class with each other last year, but we have started to hang out more in school this year. Griffin likes to play tennis. Griffin also likes to hang out with his friends after school. One of the main reasons we chose to work together is because Griffin is very creative and will ad...

   Hey everyone, my name is Logan Dewar . I go to Fort Lauderdale High School . I am 17 years old . I was born in Florida on May 30 th , 2006 . B oth of my parents were born and raised in Florida as well. Both of them also attended Fort Lauderdale High School. I have a 15 -year-old sister who also goes to Fort Lauderdale High School. I am currently employed at Condor Speed Shop where I assemble and package parts for BMW street and race cars. Something I am interested in right now is car racing, my father and I have been going to car races ever since I was born. When I was younger, we would go to professional drag races and spend hours watching and then looking at t he cars when they were finished . We never participated in the races, but it was awesome to go and watch. We wanted to participate in races and eventually found endurance racing where you can race for up to 24 hours nonstop. We started in a chump car series with a 1995 E34 BMW . W hen the team ev...

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 fon...

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.
