Grouping Up Once Again

This is the second group project from this class so far which means it is time to find a new group. I am working with the same people as last time. Our group consists of me, Sean, and Julianna just like the group from the last project. We agreed that we worked together well in the last projects and agreed to work together again this time. As a reminder I will reintroduce each of my groupmates. The first person is a good friend of mine named Sean who I have known since 6th grade. The other person in my group is Julianna and I met her last year in my first year of high school because we shared classes.  I knew everyone in the group before we started working together and helped bring the group together. We decided to work together for many reasons. Besides the fact we worked together in the past, another reason we worked together is because we got along well. We bounced off each other well constantly coming up with good ideas and making sure we all do our parts. We also sit next to each other making it easier to collaborate just like in the first project. Since we sit next to each other it is easier to work on our projects together without having to constantly move around. If we did not sit next to each other we likely would not have worked together because this year this is assigned seating because of Covid-19 so it would be harder to communicate. Another reason we all worked together was we were all friends. It also helps that me and Sean live near each other and Julie can drive herself over. This is a valuable fact because we have to work outside of school for this project which means we all need to live close enough to be able to meet up. As a group, we are not sure what our opening scene will be about yet. We do know we will be filming the entire project outside class and school. We have not yet decided where we will film because we have not done any planning or storyboarding yet. Hopefully, we can all become better friends from this and also quickly work out what we want to do for our final task.

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...
