Scheduling Mistake!

It was finally time to start filming our storyboard slides. We made all the preparations and were ready to go when our friend surprises us by suddenly starting a job. This threw our scheduled plans down the drain and we had to start planning from scratch. We sat in class and started to fill in March and April calendars. This would easily illustrate our filming days. Two of our members are in a band. Many of their performances and competitions have them booked during the times it would have been convenient for the rest of us. Although spring break seemed like the best option. We had another team member with vacation travel plans to El Salvador so the days we had left were Friday and Saturday.  We selected the day! It left us with the following Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I personally thought this was great because refilming would be much easier. Now had to figure out our transportation. All of us are over the driving permit age, yet none of us know how to drive. This left us with one option, ride the school bus. Two of our members ride the same bus and they both catch the bus right next to where our filming location is. I and the other non-bus member went to find a way to travel with them on their bus ride. We asked our teacher about our plan and she explained we just needed to get a signed bus pass from the administration office. The request has to be issued on the day we will be riding the bus and the bus pass given to the bus driver. Everything ended up getting figured out and properly scheduled.

  After about a month of filming, re-filming, and editing, the film is finally complete. I am very relieved. Actually, I am even joyous that this film project is finished. I loved the whole process of making an opening sequence. The editing process was difficult and frustrating but I feel I am getting better at it. My favorite part of the project was the initial planning, storyboarding, and actual filming.    During the planning stage, I understood what I had to do and how to complete it.    The creative aspect of these parts of the project seemed to come easy to me, which made it enjoyable. My least favorite was the editing tasks. This was probably because it was new to me and a challenging learning experience. I felt dependent on different Youtube instructions and had to keep watching different videos to learn. The YouTube posts I found on editing skills were definitely helpful and taught me a lot. I love to learn and absorb new skills, I learned a lot th...

  Hello, My name is Mia. I am 15 years old and this is my first year taking AICE Media Studies.  I'm excited to be a part of this class because I have always wanted to explore filmmaking and become a better storyteller. I joined this class not only for the learning opportunities but more importantly to one day pursue a career in the entertainment and filmmaking industry. I find myself analyzing the details of shows I watch as to what makes a movie or television show great. Some would say I have an eye for the process and the details that go into different shows, but I have yet to gain experience working on one of my own. The closest I have been was a 7th-grade group assignment in which we had to make a music video about Math. We were tasked with creating lyrics and video footage about math formulas. It only took my group three days of preparing and filming to complete the project. The final product was well received and was given an A grade.  The coursework in  ...
