Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today, I want to tell you about some of the planning process that's been happening for my music video. So originally, my group member and I decided to do a song called "Starboy" by The Weeknd. But then we had a change of plans after some discussion. We decided to change it to a song that is more known and more popular. We knew we still wanted to do a song by The Weeknd but just pick a more popular one. So, we started to text about it and it took us about 15 minutes to finalize the song. After talking it over, my group mate was the one who originally came up with the idea. I decided to let my group mate be the more main decision maker since I was the main person who decided Starboy. When I asked my group mate to decide, she ended up picking the song "Save Your Tears: Remix" by The Weeknd and Ariana Grande. I thought this song was such a good pick for our music video. I thought this was a good pick as well because it was still by one of my favorite artist and it had another artist we both liked on the song. Another reason I liked it was because of the mood of the song. Starboy had a more dark type mood towards it and we thought would require us to film at nighttime. "Save Your Tears" we agreed had a more bright and happy mood to it. Because of the happy mood we thought it had, we would be able to film in the daytime. Also another reason why we both liked the new song, "Save Your Tears" is because of the wide variety of options it gave. When we were reviewing "Starboy" we had a hard time coming up with a storyboard. For our storyboard, we wanted to tell a story, we were stuck when how we could tell a story with that song. We thought the song "Save Your Tears" would give us more leeway when deciding a storyboard. Well thank you everyone for reading my blog, make sure you come back and read my next blog!

The Critics Are In !

 Hey guys and welcome to my final production blog of AICE Media! It has been a long journey from going to AS level to A Level and you guys have followed me the entire time. This short film has probably been the hardest project due to all the moving parts of it. By moving parts, I mean so many aspects such as the website, the postcard, AND the movie. But, now that we reshot more film for our movie , we were finally within the time frame. Now that we were in the time frame, it was time to hear from the critics. So, in our group we each got 3 different people to view our film and to give us feedback. I was able to get 3 of my friends to view the film. First I sent it to my friend Isa, who is also in media. The feedback that I got from her was that she didn't like the "scary" music in the beginning but she understood the concept. To give more clarity, the music in the beginning  was meant to give off comedy from the quick transition of scary music to upbeat music. This was a ...

WELCOME BACK TO MY BLOG!

Hello everyone, it’s Marvin and I know it’s been a while but WELCOME BACK TO MY BLOG! Last time you saw me I was a newbie to the media world but so much has changed. Now I’m in A level media and I completed my AICE diploma. But, even though I completed my diploma I still decided to continue taking some AICE classes because I just fell in love with them , for example media. I’m now a junior and next year I’m going to be a senior and I have to start applying for college. It’s pretty scare how fast life is moving because when people told me high school went fast, I didn’t believe it. It felt like I was just a freshman yesterday sitting in AICE General Paper and marine science and global perspectives. Now , I’m in two a level courses and taking AP classes on top of that. But since I’ve finished AICE, I would say my hardest class I took would be AICE European History. I really thought I wouldn’t pass the exam but when I got my score back I almost burst into tears because that was the last r...

 Production Blog Welcome back everyone! We finally finished filming our commercial. Our group worked so well together when filming the commercial and we all contributed towards the direction the commercial took. When we were filming, we kept thinking very hard about the shots and my group and I were very mindful to use different types of shots when we were filming so we can have a variety. When filming some of our shots on this day, there were some problems where some of the specific scenes did not look natural. One example of this was our 3rd scene. In this scene, one of our subjects was fake sleeping and it did not look as real as possible and in order to fix this problem, my group and I did multiple shots of the scenes and chose the best ones. For our second scene, we had arranged the set properly. We had people sit in certain places,  stand in certain places , and look in a specific direction when talking. For all our scenes, we had our subjects have some input as to how w...
