AICE Media Studies

 Today I went over the clips we all took together and I picked out the ones that were best fitted and fit the time stamp.  I also noticed in the videos one of the angles were off so I suggested for us to go re film the clip.  I worked from behind the camera this time, I filmed from three different angles this time.  It didn’t take me much time to film and get back to the class to work on editing.  I was missing one person from my group they weren’t here today so we had to work without them. I got through editing the beginning  part of the clips we had. I decide to figure out what song could go over our commercial and match the vibe while still be relevant to the topic of choice. Because we Were missing a member it was kind of hard to make decisions on the auditing without her being here.  This is especially because she is the main one who was behind the editing and helping us with the camera angles and the specific shots that we need for the whole commercial as a whole.  I edited some

 Today I captured me accessorizing a Christmas tree with the supplies I purchased at Bed Bath & Beyond. When I arrived home I organized all ornaments that I bought and lit a Christmas candle. I shot the flames blazing from the candle at a tilt angle. Then I placed string lights onto the tree and filmed myself twisting the light cords together. I then fluffed the tree to make it look more full and started grabbing the ornaments from there boxes.

Later, I wrapped the garland around my stairwell and began placing the stocking on it. I videoed the process of putting the stocking on and the result of it. For the final recording I placed the camera into the tree and dragged it out to create a

  Today, December 6, my group began filming our music video. We forgot one of our props and were therefore only able to shoot half the music video. The other actress also could not film their scenes, even the ones that didn't require the specific prop. This is because if they filmed some scenes one day and the rest another day, the costumes would be different. We also could not film our opening scene as it requires both actresses'. I filmed everything and made sure to try and hold the camera as steady as I possibly could. Faith couldn't be in the shots today so she was a big help behind scenes. We were able to get a lot done because the media center was empty and we had no distractions. The first scene I directed was Janiya walking through the front doors into the media center. There was then a series of about 4 clips from her walking through the door to sitting at the desk. Each clip will have a jump cut transition between them. While the music video is meant to alternate
