AICE media studies

 Today I’m starting my second day of filming. In this part I got the big main shots. It was fun filming and I had some of my teammates there coincidentally. I also enjoyed looking at new scenery and other random places I haven’t been before. When recording I recorded some parts in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. I was on a Ivy League college tour so unintentionally film on all colleges and the best scenery around the area. It was an amazing experience and very grateful and blessed to have been on the trip. 

Today I filmed a lot. From going to Fort Lauderdale’s airport  to Philadelphia’s airport to Connecticut, I recorded a lot of my scenery and I recorded the part where I have my actor speed. My actor was an adult for this part so we were all safe. In Manchester the weather was in the low 40’s so I was able to capture a little bit of the snow. However I was not able to record all of what I needed to record in order to complete my film but tomorrow I hope to have everything done. I recorded throughout some parts in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. During Ivy League College tour I was able to venture off and see new places and get raw footage of what I will seeing.   

  Today I will be calling the settings of all possible locations used in my film, even the back up ones. By doing so I get the best personal response, if they are unavailable I can take care of business on the spot with other forms of communication like, email and text.

Today I could not start because I felt overwhelmed. With all the blogs due, other assignments from other classes, sports and as each deadline creeps upon another. The reality of getting this done hit me and I just couldn’t. The stress and overwhelmed feel was just too much. I had to stop, slow down, and revaluate everything. Instead I listened to some royalty free music, went over the schedule again, made some adjustments and slowed down with everything. Taking this time as a little mental break and a recharge before I fully emerge myself into this film. 

 The music production company that I have emailed has not got to me yet. This makes me a little worried so I am going to just use Royalty Free music on Youtube. The way I want my sound is very specific so I am going to take some parts of different Royalty Free Music and make a mash up to what flows better with my scene. If not I will use just one sound that fits the best. The music in the film is what grasps the audience and keeps them engaged. By having at least that foundation I can have already  secured my audience to watching film. The mood I want to set while watching the film is calm or romantic mood because of my genes being romance. This is my favorite part of the process because I get to listen to music and get a personal feel for my film.
