AICE Media Studies

Over spring break my partner and I decided to film with the actor playing Johnny. On March 24, we filmed scenes which only required the actor to be present. We decided to meet all up on this day to prevent anymore schedule changes since the actor sometimes can’t meet up because of his job. Earlier this week, the actor told us we could not record in his room so we had to change the setting to my partners parents bedroom. My partner and I decided to record scenes one, two, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen.  As the one in charge of the costumes for our opening sequence project, I told the actor to wear his comfortable clothing before coming since he would be filmed sleeping. Once the actor arrived to my partners house and I drove to her house, we began. First, my partner and I settled in her parents bedroom and we prepared the props. I helped prepare the setting and the bed which the actor would use. My partner and I showed the actor the scripts and let the actor go over it. We...

After rescheduling a couple of times, my partner and I were finally able to film some more scenes with the actress playing Irene. Today, we were all available to film and so we decided to meet up. My partner, Margarita, was driven by her parents to the actresses house which is were we decided to film; to relate with the setting of the scene. I walked to the actress's house since she only lives a couple houses away. Once we had all arrived we put on masks due to COVID-19, except the actress and she led us to her room. My partner and I got comfortable and began to explain to the actress what we had initially planned for the scene we would film. We decided to record scene five only and record some of the voiceover's again. In order to prepare, we went over the script once again with the actress and allowed her to look over it. I showed her our storyboard to allow her to see a visual representation of what we had planned for scene five. Originally the scene was supposed to be on a ...

Today on March 15, 2021, my partner and I decided to film some scenes for our opening seqeunce. In order to film our scenes we needed to go to Lions park in Coral Springs. We discussed the day earlier and decided it would be easier to proceed and record scenes four and eight since they do not require any actors to be present. My partner, Margarita, and her family picked me up and gave us a ride to the park. Before arriving to the park, we all put on our masks to follow guidelines of safety because of COVID-19.  The scenes we decided to record were scenes four and eight which are part of the vision scenes. Recording outside was best for everyone so we could practice social distancing and so we decided the setting for these scenes would be a park. We also needed a place with trees, so we picked this park as our setting. Once we arrived, we went to the part of the park with trees and prepared to start filming. These scenes would be recorded in Johnny's point-of-view, while he has a vi...

Today, my partner and I focused on preparing our props for filming next week and recorded more sounds. After a long day at school, Margarita and I went out to shop for some props needed in our opening sequence. We decided to go to party city to buy some fake blood. We need this for a scene in our opening sequence. This scene is planned to be recorded next week so we decided to prepare our props ahead of time. Once we finished preparing the props, we went our separate ways home. I had originally planned to record more scenes today with the actress playing Irene, but she had to reschedule to March 14, 2021. On that day I plan on recording two of the voiceovers again since I realized there is background voices. I also plan on filming scene five. I would also like to film the scenes at the Pompano Community Park if there is time on March 14.  My partner was in charge of recording a sound needed for one of Johnny's scenes. In the scene, Johnny is asleep and he is wearing headphones in t...

Today March 8, 2021, my partner and I met up with the actress playing Irene to record the voice overs needed for our opening sequence. Initially we had decided to record scenes 1, 2, 12, 13, 14, and 15 with the actor playing johnny but the meeting was rescheduled to March 12, 2021, to March 13, 2021. With our sudden change of plans, we had time to do other recordings needed with our actress Abi Fernandez. We had planned to record scene five and the voiceovers, but this did not workout very well. Due to the sudden change of plans, Abi had no time to cancel her other plans and we had to cut our meeting short to just record the voiceovers to provide our actress with a more flexible schedule. Abi was also feeling a little tired and decided she preferred that we just recorded the voiceovers and met up to record the scenes March 10 to March 15, 2021. Before attending our meeting to film, my partner and I went shopping to buy masks and handsanitser. As our plan for health and safety had said,...

As of recently, my partner and I have to decided to start our filming process on March 8, 2021. Unfortunately we could not begin filming before due to serveral reasons. Our actress playing Irene, is out of town and will be arriving March 6, 2021, which is the major reason of why we decided to begin on March 8. The actor playing Johnny also could not film earlier because he had plans involving school homework, studying for several tests and work. My partner and I looked out for our actors and decided to begin filming on a day everybody would be available.  We finished all of our planning and research and now we will prepare for filming. As of now, we have not changed or added new locations for our opening sequence. We have set all of our plans for our settings and when we will go to our assigned locations. We have also not added anything new to our scripts or storyboard, however, if changes are made they will be included in the blogs. We carefully chose the actors for our opening se...

We divided our story board into 60 slides showing every moment that we will include in our opening sequence. We broke down our 15 scenes through the CAMS, CLAMPS, and EDITING. We elaborated as much as we could in our drawings to depict the real plan of what the scenes will look. We enjoyed drawing all of our ideas down and it helped us to imagine the real process of filming and editing. We also learned the importance of planning our scenes in order to film at greater ease.
