The Fair Game: Final Task for AICE Media Studies

Here it is! My final task, I hope you all enjoy!

Production - the music and the voiceovers

 

Hello everyone!

Welcome back! As promised, this is the music blog. In fact, it's the last music blog from me. After this blog, will be the final project, all said and done! I hope you all will like it. But in any case, it's not our now. And we still have to talk about the music and voiceovers! So, let's get into it.

I'll start off with the voiceovers. It was difficult to figure out what we wanted to do for the voiceovers. All me and my group knew was that we definitely needed them, because the background noise in our video was too loud. You couldn't even hear us almost at all in some scenes. The biggest problem was because of our schedules, it was hard for us to find a time to meet up to do them. So, we decided it would be best for us to do them separately, and we would send them to our main editor, Karina, and she would implement them.

I was skeptical, because I didn't think it was likely that the voiceovers would match up. However, I trusted her judgement. There also weren't many other options. I went by the script, each line I stopped the voiceovers. I did this because I thought it would be easier for her to make them fit.

After all our voiceovers were in, she sent the video to us and it sounded good! Some scenes looked a little weird, but it wasn't too easy to tell. With the music, I went on CapCut and looked up free music that would fit the things we talked about earlier. I found them without too much trouble, and sent them to Karina. So now, everything is in place! I hope you like our video, because it will be my next blog.

Production - overall filming experience

 

Hello everyone!

Welcome back to another blog! Last time I saw you all was in February. It's been some time! I hope you all are well. We're taking a break from music this time, and instead I'll be talking about my overall filming experience. I had a great time filming, and it was really fun to experiment with new scenery, and new angles and shots. Now, enough with the introduction, let's get into it!

If I were to rate the filming from 1 to 10, I would probably give it about a 7. I think that with our time crunch, we were able to get a good amount done. However, I felt like in some scenes our acting could have been better. Additionally, I think our story wasn't as clear as it could be, because of the way our shots were put together. 

It was fun to experiment with different places and angles, to make the background more fun and fair-like. We tried our best to involve the carnival rides in the background as much as possible. However, I think in some scenes we were rushing too much to be thinking a lot about this in every scene. Like in the scene where me and Karina were looking for ech other, I specifically remember that that was when we were running late on time and you could tell. The acting for me wasn't the best and the scenery around us was rather dull. All in all with more time, I think we could have done a better job at this.

In the end, although the beginning part of filming was fun and exciting, as time went on it got more and more stressful. Because of this, our filming also became not as good. In my next blog, I'll jump back to the music portion of the project, so stay tuned!
