First Production

 Hi, my name is Nya and I'm an AICE Media Studies A student.

I took AS level last year, and am very excited to make some new films with my crew this year. Last year I worked in a group of 4, but our editor Kate was a senior and sadly graduated last June.

So for our first project this year, our director is still going to be Bella, cinematographer is still going to be Jackie, and I will take on the roll of editor since I worked in post production with sound design and can work with sound in the editing process. 

For our first project, we are going to make a swede of a certain movie clip. My group has chosen a scene from the new Barbie movie, specifically the transportation scene to the real world. 

This is the movie scene.

While strategizing our best choice for the swede, we went through many potential movies. In the beginning, we chose the trailer for Five Nights at Freddy's, which came with many problems, most being with the amount of scenes and dialogue. We realized that finishing the swede in 2-3 weeks would be virtually impossible with doing a trailer. Next we discussed movies like Maze Runner and Attack the Block, which would be have a more humorous effect, but the movies both used a good deal of CGI. Overall we decided on the Barbie movie, the transportation to the real world scene. The reason we selected this scene is because from an editor and sound designer view, I think there's a lot in this scene. The editor is in charge of the props and costumes, and in the only 18 second clip there are 7 completely different outfits and settings. The sound is a pretty basic non diegetic soundtrack, and editing consists of jump and straight cuts. Our director expressed their ideas of having such a recognizable scene, which we agreed Barbie was perfect for our group to do.
