Research and Planning Blog

    I will be beginning my commercial, and on this blog, I will be describing the process of picking out videos, pictures, and a song for my commercial. For picking out pictures, videos, and a song for my commercial, I will pick pictures that match the vocabulary provided in the class. I will pick videos with different sound backgrounds. I will pick a song that I enjoy listening to. For pictures, I will use different angles such as the eye level and high angle. I will also include different shots such as an extreme close-up. For my videos I will include movement such as the pan and tilt. I will be using pictures and videos from different settings such as my home, school, and restaurants that I've visited. I will choose from pictures and videos that are from different time frames. My song choice is based on my previous experiences. Due to me being born in the 2000s I would choose something from the late 2000s or 2010s. My favorite genres of music are rap and pop. For my pictures, I ended up choosing a selfie that I took of myself at school. This selfie included the high angle. The video that I chose was a video of me playing basketball. In the video there was camera movement. The date of the photo was August 4th, 2023. The date of the video is May 26th, 2023. Both of the media were within the same year, so I chose a song of the 2000s. Viva La Vida by Coldplay.

My partner and I decided we need to focus and get a huge portion our filming done. We watched over the scenes that we already filmed and were not impressed. We thought that we could easily do better. We decided that we should start over fresh. This time we entered more determined. Wanted to feel as if we were real actors. Once we started over, we tried to implement all our conventions. Our costumes were straight from our closets. We utilized different angles. We showed different camera movements. We even added the use of sounds. Our main prop which was a doll was designed to look like one of our actors. We wanted to make it seem as if the inanimate object came to life out of thin air. Scene by scene we got different shots in. There was one scene where the camera was moving following two characters. The person holding the camera alternated between the characters in the film. There were scenes that had to be shot twice due to the camera shaking in the hands of the cameraman. There were a...

Production Blog: Trying New Things

 After watching our work we compared it to other opening scenes. In popular horror films there are plenty elements that give it the suspenseful feeling. We decided to use another popular editing application. "iMovie" is exclusive to Apple devices. Although we have not used it in a long time, it is not something we are new to. We went through the same steps of editing on iMovie, but used different transitions and fonts. We found that one of the applications offered more effects than the other. We used the application that we found offered better effects for our genre. The application with more sudden transitions. The one that had a better color scheme. The one that was better for editing in general. We compared both of our final tasks. One of them was obviously better than the other. We ended up choosing the task done on Capcut. We felt the work done on it was more professional. This task would be more entertaining than the task done on iMovie.
