Scheduling Conflicts

Now that my group has figured out our music choices it is time to film. We started trying to work out an exact day to work on. This is when problems emerged for me and my groupmates. It turns out our schedules were conflicting. Many of the days I was free Julie was busy. When Julie was free Sean was busy. When Sean was free I was busy. The main problems were my schedule and Julie's. As we were working out the days to film my mom texts me. All of a sudden I am now going out of town for spring break. This meant most of our free days to film I would not be here to film. I leave the Tuesday of spring break and only get back Sunday before school is back. This does not give us a lot of time to film. Julie's problem was her distance from us. While I and Sean lived near each other Julie was a lot further away. This meant she could only film on weekends when her parents could drive her. This is because her dad has to go to work on weekdays so she has no ride. Sean had a problem with filming on the weekends. He had soccer games for most of the upcoming weekends. This meant he couldn't film. We are now trying to find an upcoming weekend that we are all free. One where I am in town, Julie has a ride, and Sean either has no soccer, can skip it, or has it later/earlier in the day so we can film around it. These next few days I will finalize my schedule with the other 2 and we will film.

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...
