Filming Day Two

-

 Welcome back blog! Yesterday on Saturday the 24th we filmed the rest of our scenes. We all met at Jennas house again because majority of the scenes needed to be filmed there. Before filming today we all made sure our schedules were completely clear. This was important because a large portion of our film occurs during the night time and last week when we tried to film at night Jenna had a dinner. For example, most of the flashback scenes that are being used are during the night, this gives off a eerie or suspenseful feeling. Once we all arrived at Jenna's, we headed over to a nearby elementary school to film our school scenes. We didn't have access to inside the school which was okay, because we only needed certain locations. At the school we only used the picnic tables outside the front gate, the parking lot and the front entrance of the school. After filming the school scenes we decided to switch up our scenes. We originally said that we were going to film at the beach; however, this was surprisingly difficult. One reason being there were no parking spaces. The beach was incredibly crowed due to spring break almost beginning, there were barley any spots on the beach that weren't directly next to someone. So we decided to turn the beach scenes into pool scenes. There is a community pool right by my house so we went there to film the beach scenes. This ended up being perfect because the pool was completely empty. This allowed for a calm atmosphere that wasn't too loud, allowing the audience to hear us more clearly. We completed our scenes relatively fast giving us some time to soak up the sun and enjoy the nice weather. Once we got home we realized that we filmed everything, my group and I were so incredibly proud of ourselves and the work we put in. Come back to see how the postcard and editing goes. Thank You for Reading!

The Vision Short Film

Throughout the Mystery short film, The Vision, there was a boy looking for his friend throughout a fever dream and never ended up finding out if his friend was ok or not. There was common sounds like creepy music playing in the background. The lighting throughout the short film was very dark and eerie. The boys bedroom as well as all the settings that were shown throughout the film were dark and made a viewer feel uncomfortable. A common editing tactic in the mystery genre is foreshadowing which means early in the film, a hint is given as to what is going to happen as the plot. Another common tactic is suspense. Suspense is built through ending scenes with cliffhangers, making a character complicated, intense point of view, and hints as to what is to come throughout the film.  I really enjoy the suspenseful part about mystery genre films. Throughout all mystery films, there is so much suspense built up because you truly want to know what happened and why it is happening. This quest...

Its Me Again

 Hey Cambridge it's me, Carleigh Tripp, again. I am still a student at Fort Lauderdale High School and I am Still 15, however I am turning 16 on December 21st. I joined AICE media studies because I've always found interest in filming and showing my creative side. So far I've had a wonderful time making videos, especially the latest project we completed. The last project was a commercial and the item we choose was the energy drink Celsius. My favorite part of that project was incorporating the angles and editing that we learned in class. I learned a lot on filming and editing, mainly using editing apps and how to create those cool effects through technology. As we progress through the course I would like to film people who aren't part of the class to get more people than me and my partner. I would also like to include my dog since he's energetic yet can take commands well, if I told him to sit and stay he would. His names Ripley, he's 8 years old and is a Parti P...
