Picking Out Music

 I spent today searching around on music and video sites like Spotify, SoundCloud, and YouTube. I was searching for some eerie/horror music to put at the end of the opening. This song may be used for more than the ending scene but that will be its main purpose. At first, I checked Spotify where I found nothing I thought would sound good in that spot. Then I checked YouTube where I found a pretty great song. This song is titled  "Very Creepy Ending Song w/ Bells (Scary Music / Movie Soundtrack)". After finding this song I still checked SoundCloud just to see if there was anything better there. I ended up sticking with this song after everything was said and done. Now that I have my song I had to ask the creator for permission. To do this I first went to their Youtube account that you could access from the video. Their YouTube account was called Trickolas. After finding their account I checked all the separate tabs that there was to search through. I ended on the "ABOUT" tab where I found their SoundCloud account. On their SoundCloud account and YouTube account they said we can use their music for projects as long as we give them credit. After seeing this I searched their SoundCloud page until I finally found their email. In the email, I asked them a few things and informed them of a few things. I started by introducing myself and explaining that I am making a movie intro for a class called Aice Media Studies. I then went on to link the song of theirs that I wanted to use and why. I told them I need it as eerie ending music for my thriller film. Finally, I asked them one last question at the end. This question was what account they wanted us to credit. I did not know which one to do cause I could either credit his YouTube, his SoundCloud, or a third option like his real name. Once he responds I will know if I can use the song and how he would like to be credited in the movie opening.

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...
