AICE Media Studies

Hello Blog today was a rough day. I was looking forward to filming but unfortunately things did not go as planned. While we can control are schedules we cannot control the weather. It said it was going to be clear sky’s today but it was very incorrect, It rained the whole time. We considered filming in the rain but it would have been bad. There is a couple reasons for this. For the first reason is that the rain could mess with our cameras and audio. This could potentially break them. Another reason is due to the hazards of filming in the rain. While slip hazards are a major concern another issue was driving. It is already dangerous driving normally so in the rain would have been much worse. For these reasons as a group we agreed it would be best to cancel and reschedule. While this could have been a bigger issue it is okay because we are already doing this film way earlier then its due date. That’s all for today blog so thank you for reading and have a great day.

 Hello blog a lot has happened since then last blog. Today we have do sound. While sound may seem easy it is actually one of the more difficult things to do. We will do a mix of making our own sound and using premade sounds. For diagetic sounds we will make all of them. For non diagetic sound we will use a mixture of audios that are available. This will include sad sound music and music to build suspense. For the car crash we will attempt to simulate our own but we may end up using and audio. There will also be police sounds and the sound of a heartbeat. These will be taken from online. The most difficult thing about sound is to put it onto the audio. The audios can sound unnatural and not fit the scene. They may also not be timed right with the clip. this is more of and issue for outside audios so we will be trying too use less of them and more made ones. We will all work on audio as a group. Overall this is it for today blog thank you for reading. 

 Today, the blog would walk you through our shooting locations. The original scheme was to shoot in some different locations. We knew we needed to have a quiet place to film. This meant either a secluded place or a private place. We sat down and started brainstorming about filming spots. Each of us had some suggestions, but none really seemed to work. My dad's office could be the set for the office scene, but it may just be too much traveling for everyone just for a short scene. For the car scenes, we could shoot any off-street main road. So practically anybody's neighborhood would do. Nathaly had some locations we could use for filming, but they aren't really what we had envisioned. For the party scene, we can use Nicolas' backyard because it has plenty of space for hosting events. Given that all of us are on a timeline, this whole planning phase is very crucial. If we do not have enough time, then we may end up doing the whole thing at Nicolas' place. That should ...

Hey blog today were going to talk about material gathering. For this movie we needed a couple things. Many of these materials will be based off our roles and what we already have. For example Benjamin who is playing their drunk driver already has a car we could use. We will also need another vehicle. I will be providing this as well. The two of them will not really collide as it is dangerous and costly. Another material we will need is fake alcohol containers. I will be making these. We also will need safety equipment for in case we get hurt. Adults will also be around during filming. One thing everyone in out group will work on providing is outfits for the characters. I will be providing office wear that i already have. To simulate the accident we may use fake blood but we are unsure. This depends on how graphic we decide on making are film. We also may need bandages and casts to make fake injury’s, Overall these are all the materials we will use and who will provide them. While it is...

 Hello Blog today we’re going to begin the process of producing our film. We finally got through all the research and planning parts. Now we can move onto actually doing the film.While this might be hard me and my group are going to try to make the best film possible. We have currently began scheduling and logistics.  As we complete more preliminary steps deciding a film day will be easier. The first step in this is too figure out which filming materials we need and who can get them. Then we will begin to schedule filming and make sure everyone is okay with it. Another crucial role is the availability of some of the actors we will bring along. We have began working on all off these things and they will take a bit to complete. These are difficult and necessary steps for filming but me and my group have been having a fun time doing it and it is going well. When these are all done we will have a film date set in stone to meet up and begin to film. We decided a film week after we ...

Title Design Concept for In an Instant: • Font: Use Trajan Pro or Cinzel for a serious, cinematic feel. • Color: Keep “IN AN” in white and make “INSTANT” red to emphasize the sudden impact. • Background: A dark, blurred motion effect or subtle shattered glass texture to symbolize destruction. • Animation: A slow fade-in with a sudden cut to black, reinforcing the theme of instant tragedy.
