We Are Finally Filming

Image
 Today was our first filming day for our commercial. The initial plan for our group was to film outside of our classroom. Since there were people passing by we decided to go to our backup plan which was the senior patio. The senior patio was empty so it was perfect to film in. I was the camera man for the commercial film. My experience with filming was pretty good although it was many retakes. The hardest part of filming was to make sure there was no background noise. The first shot I filmed was a POV shot of the main actor with his phone. I had to retake the POV shot many times since the actor messed up. One way he would mess up was by not playing the music or not putting sound cancelation on. The next shot was a shot of me following the actor while he was walking. The next shot was a high angle shot. I had to find a high place to film from and there was a place just for that. I went up the stairs and when I finished the shot we reviewed and realized it was too high. I ended up just s

  Slide 1: In this slide we are going to shoot our introduction where we show the actor opening his phone and going to play a song on his AirPods Pro. He is going to pull out his phone, unlock it, and then proceed to go to a music app to begin to play a song. The type of shot in this slide is going to be a POV shot. This is to express to the viewer the same thing the actor is seeing. Slide 2: During this slide, the main actor is beginning to walk straight forward showing off the AirPods Pro in his ears. This is to show how the AirPods are comfortable to wear and stay in your ears. The type of shot that is going to be during this scene is going to be a medium shot to show off the actor walking. During this shot the audio will match the audio that the main actor is listening to with his airpods.  Slide 3: This slide is to represent the noise cancellation feature of the AirPods Pro. So, we will have someone call the main actors name to try and get their attention but they will not be able

  Planning: Props: Since our group decided to use the Airpods Pro the props that we will be using will be an iPhone and the Airpods Pro themselves. Costumes: In our commercial, we have one main character, and 2 side subjects. Our actors will wear normal/trendy clothes, they would wear items that they would wear everyday to simulate like it was just a normal day for them. The main actor will have an iPhone in hand, and an AirPod in each ear so to show them off to the viewer.  Schedule:   On 9/22/21 our group researched conventions and the background of AirPods Pro commercials. We also decided on our location list, props, costumes, backup plan, and made sure we were sticking to our schedule. We tried to get the most that we could done to make sure that on the next day of working we had enough time to get the next step done.  On 9/24/21 our group will get together to create the storyboard for our 30 second commercial. We will use this time to edit any ideas we have before filming the comm

 Research: My Group is doing "Shoota" as our song. Typically in these types of music videos there is one main person singing, usually the artist with some back up singers and dancers. They use many types of different scenery. There is always or most of the time dancers in music videos They do not have to dress a certain way unless it's for the theme of the video    There are many different type of cuts that music videos use but the most common ones are  Jump cuts along with upbeat music are used to create an exciting mood and get the audience pumped up.  Fade to black which is used at the end to symbolize the end of the video The Most Common shot in Music Videos are  Medium Shot to draw attention to both the character and their surroundings by giving them equal space in the frame Conventions and Codes Most music videos when they end show who it was edited by and or the song name then use a fade to black to end the video Most Videos usually have people around the main pers

This blog I will talk all about my Group. My group consist of 3 other members and with me it makes up 4. The 3 other members are Monzur M,  Arron S and, Ariel P. The only person that I am pretty close with is Monzur and I have known Arron for a while although I'm not very close him. I have just recently met Ariel through this class since she sat in front of me. I chose to work with Monzur since I already know him and we are pretty close. I have know Monzur since middle school and we had many common interests so we been friends for a while. Although me and Monzur have not always been super close. Over the span of COVID and online school we would play together and talk. I know Monzur is smart and he has a great work ethic so I though he was a super reliable person to do this commercial. I have know Arron since middle school but we were never close. When I saw him in this class and he sat near me I thought we could work on this commercial. Another reason I chose Arron is because I kno
