We Are Filming

 This past week was spring break. Because of this, our group was finally able to film. This also lets us follow our schedule since we planned to film over the break. But as we were getting started with the filming process and gathering our props we noticed a problem. We had no one to film when everyone was on camera. To solve this problem we had to contact one of our friends. This friend was Addison and she took over and did all of Juliana's roles. This is because Julie has way more experience filming than everyone else in the group. Filming was really fun and we finished right on schedule. I acted in almost every single scene and had quite a lot of lines. This was a new experience for me because I usually volunteer for side roles or roles outside of the filming. Some of the new things I got to experience was having to memorize a lot more lines than normally. I also had to figure out where to stand and be so everyone was visible. I played Beckett. this character was scared a lot and was always arguing with Julie. One fun shot to film at the start of filming was when we get to the park and unpack and then cut to Sean's dad standing creepily in the back of the park. This took quite a few attempts to get right. One problem would be that I and Sean would forget a line or mess up the action. Another common error was Sean's dad would be too hidden or too far away to really be seen. We also didn't have Addison yet so Julie had to film while I and Sean unpacked. Eventually, though we found the perfect spot where Sean's dad was hidden, I and Sean got our lines right, and Julie did a very smooth pan

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...
