AICE Media Studies

  Here is our final task video! We have had many alterations and worked very hard, so please enjoy.

Our two solutions consisted of animating over the actual paper or adding titles to the screen next to the papers. I advertised that I could use procreate to draw them out. Procreate has a feature where you can implement a video and draw on each frame. I was going to draw a slightly different version of the text on top of the papers to make them bolder. We all liked this idea! However, once we asked our teacher, and she said that we needed to have the titles on screen. This was a slight disappointment.

We were so stressed about finding the perfect song, so we emailed a ton of different options. We waited anxiously as time went by. Out of nowhere, Sammie texts us excitedly.

As soon as Sammie got home, she added the song over the video. It was just as good as we expected. The build-up of the song follows the story. Finally, when Amelie broke down, the song lets out a gut-wrenching scream. After making that final decision to use "Ptolemaea", we sent it to a few our friends! They all gave us positive feedback, whic
