AICE Media Studies

Hi lovelies! So my partner and I officially started filming in a library. That is our set location. The reason being is cause our original location, Starbucks, does not allow filming. However the library saved us as we will still be able to portray the cute study meet cutes and storyline. My partner picked me and the male love interest up as she has a car and is our main source of transportation. We went to our local library and started our filming process. My partner first got the establishing shot done of the library for the start of the video. When we got inside we found a cute area for me to "study" as my partner set up our filming materials. As I got into my role of casually studying my partner got my scene then went onto the love interests part. This part was done by our friend Davi. His first shot was a walk over of him coming into the same study area as me. It took us a moment to get the perfect scene to match with our vision. We had to match the actions and acting wi...

Hi lovelies! So I recently got the news that we cannot film at Starbucks which delayed filming a bit. We asked them and they said it would be disrespectful to the workers and the shop is busy.  Finding a cute coffee shop in my area is hard! Anyways, besides that, the prop has not delivered yet. The prop was supposed to get here yesterday and did not arrive. Its okay though, i can simply make my own bow and arrow if worse comes to worse. This week has actually been very hectic for me. This week is the last week of the quarter which means, more tests, and more lectures. Which all of this combined with my parents leaving for work next week the whole week i've had a lot on my plate. Ive had a lot of errands and assignments along with going to the gym, it's difficult. I am debating on picking between another coffee place or a local boba shop to film at. Either of them would give the same vibe. I am ready to start filming. We know what wardrobe we want to pick. Everything is planned,...

Hi lovelies!! So over the weekend my partner and I talked about set times, budgeting, and compromise with the people we are included in our music video. Its a small group of 3 people but we work well together. For my video I need a cupids arrow to further detail the main characters crush growing. The cupids bow is arriving in the mail Wednesday. We did not end up filming at all this weekend. The schedule I set up does not align with our main love interests work schedule. The love interest actor had work over the weekend so we could not start filming at all. I also had a a lot of studying and makeup work for school. So everyone made plans to meet up next Saturday. I ended up changing our video script a lot to match the time frame. We had set up four quadrants for our video, practically sectioning the video to plan the scenes better. I ended up merging quadrant 3 and 4 together because we plan to be very creative with our video.  Costume design is a big deal as well. In most pop jaz...

 Hi lovies!! Today I will let you into my filming and planning journey. My partner and I have thought long and hard about the props, location, and costumes. We also made sure to looking into everyone's schedules. Along with a very solid backup plan. Some props that have the most significance would be the plastic bow and arrow, the pen and tissue paper for the notes, everyday coffee, books, school material, laptop. The location will take place in a cute coffee place, with a comfortable yet romantic atmosphere. The aura of the coffee house will also be cozy with a lot of students studying and people doing work. Another location will also be the around the coffee shop to get a hint of a outside world. The costumes worn by the main 2 characters serve the most purpose. The female character will have more of a effortlessly cute attire, for example sundresses, cute feminine tops, skirt, etc. However her style will move on to later and slowly mimic the male characters style, which is more ...

 Hi lovies! We meet once again. Not much has changed, I have been trying to to get more of my life put together and dive more into my interests and passions. I have been trying to become more mature and prepare for my life as a independent girl yet still having fun time. I have been trying to get a job at a cute retail store to get more experience towards fashion. Through this job I can earn the money to put towards fashion and makeup. This is also helpful to spoil my loved ones and save for things like albums and concerts. That falls under my intense love for music. Speaking of music, I love the new assignment because it leads me be creative and put my knowledge of music out into a assignment. I also get to work with a friend and my close friend at that. This is a really fun project as it brings so many of my interests together. I can work on makeup, storyline, fashion, music and so much more with my own twists and background. I personally love making these stories as they give me...

 Hi lovies! Today I am here to to reflect on my commercial. Some questions often asked with my journey are what technology did I learn to use, what did I learn about the process of putting a project together, what do I think I can do to make the next project better? These are all important questions in order to reflect on my choices and my progress. The technology I learned to is simply just how to edit my videos, I had a general understanding and a pretty well rounded background, however through experimenting with my own video I was able to become comfortable with a lot more techniques and mini tricks. For my next project I definitely want to outline my work better, I was very indecisive in what I wanted to do for my vision and even had big last minutes changes, for example, my song changed moments before my work was summited only because I didn't thing my initial song fit my vibe. I honestly learned a lot from this project just in terms of editing technique and Cap Cut. I think t...
