Filming This Weekend

      This week in AICE Mediastudies we have been preparing to record our final task. We are going to be recording the opening 2 minutes to an original movie. My group’s movie is about a man who desperately wants to be a superhero, he becomes deranged and kills his parents to have a hero-like backstory. Things eventually go bad for him and he never becomes the hero he wanted to be. We have done research and determined that we want our movie to be a thriller. Because of this we have done a lot of research on the conventions of thriller movies. This has allowed us to brainstorm and create the story we will be presenting in a storyboard. We will be filming the movie this weekend, we were unable to last weekend due to scheduling difficulties for some of my group mates. We are planning on filming on Saturday, and maybe a little bit on Sunday if necessary. We have been doing a lot of planning to prepare for filming, to make the process as efficient as possible. We are confident in our ability to get enough footage to work with to create a first cut this weekend. After we film, our editor, Kyle, will start working. While Kyle may be doing a load of the editing, we will all help him by giving ideas and comments. Kyle will incorporate our ideas and make our movie as we all agree. In 2 weeks from when we record we will do peer editing. After peer editing we will reshoot scenes. After reshooting we will re-edit. Re-editing will allow us to create the final draft of our project. We hope that everything will go as smoothly as we plan. We are prepared for every scenario this weekend, whether it rains or not we will be ok. I am very excited to begin filming and can’t wait to see how it comes out.
