AICE Media Studies

 Now I put in the the heartbreak scene. We are editing the scenes that each of us filmed on our phones. So honestly Nicole is editing most of the film. However, we are still in an argument so I am not really updated on everything. But for my scenes I did a lot. I put in the party scenes with Felipe. I only edited the exposure. Just to make it a little darker and to make it look realistic. Then I added the heartbreak scenes. I only made all the movement and voice to match the different angles. Because we have an over the shoulder and outside and inside shots. Where we say the same things. So we show different angles of the heartbreak. Just to immerse our viewers. Then I also added some of the sound. But I have to make sure my whole group is on the same page. Because not everyone liked the sound that we were using. So I am going to make sure afterwards that everything is good with my group. Just in case, so no arguments are caused again. I am going to keep trying to help my group find a

March twelfth was our second day filming. It was great. So we set up the time for 4 o’clock. But we both ended up coming at Nicole’s at 5. Because Nicole was super busy and I was late because I missed Nicoles house exit. Anyways, I got to Nicole’s house. We talked and FaceTimed Macaria before filming. Just so we would all know what is going on. We spoke about how we were going to film the bargaining stage. And maybe extra. So Nicole and I filmed me getting ready for the party. Doing the makeup and hair. Getting changed and looking good. Then we filmed me being disappointed. Afterwards, we were done and just talked for awhile. Nicole and I are really good friends. So it is never really a hassle to go to her house or make conversation. I just come over and talk and hangout. Then, we get to filming. It does take a little longer because we forget to do work. But, we soon ended up getting most of the scenes.

 I am so excited that we are finally filming. I have been waiting so long. I also have been very stressed about it recently. I just have a lot going on so I want it over with. Just so I don’t have to stress about it. But it will be at Nicole house. And also no one is able to go. Only me and Nicole will be there. Plus, my sister who is going to film some scenes. But we also have a tripod to do that. I am not worried and I think everything will come out great. We only have the going out scene and acceptance to film. But it’s still a lot. If we don’t finish filming ,we are filming during the week. It may be difficult but it’s going to have to work. But me and Nicole our on good terms. So it’s making it so much easier to set up filming. Also, to just be on the same page. And settle some arguments. But I am so excited to film on Sunday!

 My group is not getting their work done. No one wants to get work done. I am very annoyed. I keep trying to ask about filming but no one answers. I am very stressed because I have a lot next week. I am going to get my drivers license. I also have a huge math test next week. It’s also the last test of the quarter. Meaning I might have to study over the whole week. Ensuring that filming during the week is unavailable. And the project is due very soon. I also have to study for my drivers exam. So everything feels very impossible right now. I really need my group to collaborate. And I also need us to work together. Everything is easier when everyone works together. I keep restating this but no one wants to listen. And one of our group members hasn’t done any work. I just do not know what to do. But it is not over. Me and Nicole our trying to work things out. So that is making it easier to speak. And work through the disagreements.

  Today we were set to film. However, my parent were leaving on a cruise today and I didn’t not have anyone to drive me. I also had a club beach clean up. So I wasn’t available at all. And everything came up last minute. Many of my group members were upset. But I could not control it. I had to put these things first. We have many more days to film. Yet, they were very upset. And slow to warmup when I was speaking on the phone. This always happens with my group. No one really does work unless it’s crucial. And that’s the complete opposite of me. I need days of planning and speaking. However, that did not happen. They had planned this one day before and let me know in the morning. It made me extremely upset. I have been trying to have patience with my group but it feels almost impossible. But I know we will get through this. I am going to keep trying to be patient.

 Today we had a plan to film. As our second day of filming the short film but we weren’t able to. Our group members got in a disagreement. They debated on what we should do. And everyone is not talking. Or able to film today. We are going through a tough time. However, we will work through it. In the mean time, I wrote out everything we need to do and get done. I am so tired of having this weight on my shoulders of filming. This is super stressful because I have practice. Also, days that I am unavailable. I just can’t film on days I have a lot of homework. So it makes it really hard to be spontaneous. So much planning needs to go into filming. However, most of my group members can just film whenever so it makes it really difficult. Many times they just don’t understood where I’m coming from. But it’s okay we are going to work through this conflict. In the mean time, I let everyone know when I was available or not. I also kept editing the short film. Adding transition between the scenes

My group and I are using imovie to edit the short film. We put in the first scenes into the imovie today. We kinda had a disagreement on how everything was going to work. The communication is failing in our group. Nicole and I had a fight. It was bad. But we are working through it to be able to film again. We need to talk through it in order to get through this. Communication is key in a group project. However, Macaria is on the same page. She is helping us with whatever we need. If it’s emotional help or driving. Macaria is always there to help. So we added the scenes. Macaria also started adding the titles and all the names of the stages. The stages that were added were only three. Denial, Sorrow, and Anger. I am going to add the breakup scene. And Nicole is going to add the bargaining and the acceptance stage of heartbreak. We are going to get through this editing then start filming the second part.
