#21- Scripting/Storyboard Process

   I believe the scripting and storyboard process is a part of the project that I didn't execute perfect. I originally planned on getting these done at the beginning of the project, so I had it prepared for my actors and the days of filming. However, I didn't get my storyboard and script done until last minute.

  I completed my storyboard first, on September 17 before my family sat down for dinner. It was very last minute and quick, and I will state that I'm definitely not an artist with a pen/pencil. I just wanted a layout of exactly what I want to shot for my final cut. I found the idea of using sticky notes for my drawing from a TikTok of a storyboard for a cartoon. It just looks nicer than a black sheet with words. The lines of the notebook page made it look more put together. The use of pink sticky notes also goes with the theme of the pink colors of my project.

  I had ideas for my script the whole process of this project, but I didn't officially finish writing it until the day of my second day of filming. I did it so last minute, which is a stressful process trying to quickly finish it before filming, so my actors knew what to say. I wasn't able to give the script before hand for them to go over their lines which showed when we were trying to film the long scene that was dialogue heavy. I know now that next time I have to write a script I should begin it early in the filmmaking process. For script writing I wrote all of my ideas on a blank notebook paper, but used the site DuetWriter to write the final script. The site gives you the format of how to write a script, including where to put character names, dialogue, shot directions, transitions, etc. 

                                       

(the girls re-reading the script, because they weren't given the option to memorize their lines) 

  These processes is where I struggled with stress the most because I was very last minute on my storyboard and script. When it comes to my A-Level project I will focus on completing my storyboard and script earlier in the filmmaking process. After I complete my editing and publish my final cut I believe it will be a little different than my storyboard and script, because I filmed different angles that I didn't have in them. Those were all on location creative decisions to better the narrative.

#30- Creative Critical Reflection Script

   Hello, my name is Lizette Nieves and this is my Creative Critical Reflection, also known as my CCR, for my AICE Media Studies Final Project.    The process of this project was quite something, I had a lot of ups and downs. I had to be re-assessed on AICE Media Studies because I took the class in my freshman year and decided to take A-Level Media Studies this year as a senior. At moments I definitely thought taking this class was a big mistake. I currently have a lot of work for all of my classes and was only given a small time frame to fully complete this project. Right after I'll be going into working on my A-Level project! But, I believe re-doing my AICE Media Studies project right before was a good refresher for when it comes to that project.  (How do my products use or challenge conventions and how do they represent social groups or issues?)   The genre I decided to chose was drama with comedy, usually phrased as a dramedy. The conventions of drama a...

#24- Filming Day Two

September 21, 2023 Location: My House/ My Neighborhood Time: Mid-Late Afternoon   Today I filmed the rest, a majority, of my final project. I had my actors Karah and Reese drive out to the location of filming, which was my house and neighborhood.    Once they both arrived at my house, we began filming. However, we didn't go in the order of my script. Which it will still be able to edit them when I transport them to my computer by file name, even if they are out of order. I will write down the names of the files in the order I want them to go after each other when I edit.    We began filming the scenes with Karah and my mother (Aurora and her mother). We filmed a pan of Karah walking into the kitchen and grabbing an apple and the conversation between her character and her character's mother. My mother is not the best actress, but we got the shot after putting a note card with her lines in the sink for her. She was able to read off that and execute her role good. ...
