Filming Most Of The Scenes Today

Today our group of 4 went around our school and filmed most of the shots we will be using in the film. For now, we are only missing the first shot and the last shot. The first shot will be of a close-up of a checkmark in the shape of a Nike logo. The last shot will be cut to black and show the Nike logo. We took this picture right after we finished filming the last shot of the day and it was my shot. In my shot, it started with me walking down the hallway seen in the picture. From there, someone off-screen rolled a volleyball to me. From there I pick it up and look around confused. At the end, it pans down as I am looking for who gave me the ball and zooms in on the Nike sneakers. The goal of this shot is to contrast the other shots which largely consisted of athletic activities. It contrasted the athletic shots by being a shot seen in the perspective of an everyday Nike wearer. In other parts of the commercial, I helped out in ways that didn't involve being in the actual shots. I held the camera with some shots as someone else directed and another person acted. I also helped hold all the props. I held the group's bags when the person was filming, directing a scene, or acting in it. Also in certain shots like the soccer one I helped direct my group on how to follow the soccer ball and quickly get back to the actor to show his Nike logo. When we were having trouble showing both the goal and him quick enough I helped explain how to solve it. I told them they should follow the ball up to about halfway to the goal and then turn and see the actor. The actor would look happy with the shot and give enough time for the cameraperson to zoom in on the logo. This solution solved the issue we were having where we couldn't get back to the actor quick enough without the camera looking really fast and choppy or going over how much time we wanted the scene to take. By the end of the day, we had 4/6 shots filmed and had around 20 seconds of run time. After we film the last 2 shots we should easily reach the 30 second time limit.

My First Experience Making A Commercial

Image
  Name: Beckett Brand___   Creative Critical Reflection 1.                 How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? Our product challenges social conventions because it shows that even if you’re not playing sports and being athletic you can still find a use for Nike products. By showing people just doing everyday things like homework ad walking around we show how Nike products are useful for everyday activities. I also show how it relates to athletic and sporty people by showing shots of people playing sports in their Nike attire. It also represents social groups as it shows groups of people playing sports and the groups of people doing everyday things. It also shows how girls can do anything guys can by having a mix of men and women in our commercials.   2. How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media t...

Starting To Edit

Image
 I started by downloading an app that could edit all the clips together and add smooth transitions. The app I decided to use to edit is called iMovie and it is a very popular editing app. I started by importing all of the shots that we had into the app. From there I also grabbed the 'Just Do It' Nike logo and put that at the end of all the other shots. From there I watched a few videos on how to use the app. The videos showed me how to import music over the commercial and get rid of any current sound. It also showed me where the transitions were and how to do them. Now that I knew how to use transitions I could get started. I started by showing the shot where we graded an assignment and put a checkmark on it that looked like the Nike logo. I then zoomed in further on the checkmark than in the actual recording to make it bigger and more central in the shot. After that, I transitioned the big checkmark on the paper into the one on the soccer player's shirt. Then I played the ...

Helping Out Rashell And Filming Our Last Scenes

Image
 Today while filming we went outside again like during the first day. While outside we helped film for another group that only had one person so that could not film and act at the same time. While people from my group acted I helped with the camera and filmed it. The main shot we did was a shot of one of us running on the track reaching the end and then drinking from a water bottle. To create this shot we borrowed a block from the track and field team. Then one of us launched off of it and ran down the track for a few seconds. While they were running I was holding the camera chasing after them to show them running. Then they grabbed the water bottle and took a big drink from it. While they were drinking I zoomed in on the logo that the ad was for. The ad was for Zephyrhills and was supposed to show how athletic people only drink their products. We also filmed the final scene for our group. It was actually the first scene in the commercial but it was filmed last because it was the o...
