Filming Setbacks

Me and my group's first filming day was today. Although that was never the intention the schedules of me and my group did not match up for that week specifically. The same thing happened the week prior. During my Thanksgiving break one of my group members was out of town so I was able to film. After the week past and my group member came back I still wasn't able to film. This was because everyone was busy not just my group members. I had to go to work and church and some of my group had to attend a family gathering. This made everything a lot more difficult. I had everyone see what day our group could film. My group decided on Monday which was yesterday after school. As school was coming to an end it stared to rain really hard which made us postpone our filming to today. My group all agreed to film today after school. The place I was supposed to meet up with them was at my house. The reason I decided that was because there is park near my house. When were walking towards the park I noticed a huge problem the park was getting remodeled. Since the park was getting remodeled my group had to use a soccer and baseball field close by. Since we did not have much to work with my group filmed a few shots. The shots that were filmed included a transition shot which took my group from one setting  to another. Another important shot I took was a P.O.V this shot was give more variety to type of shots our group used. Since TONS of unlucky things happened when we tried to film I hope tomorrow we can finish our shots with no setbacks.

  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...

Sound Track Choices

Image
 Before I got to filming with my group we decided to find what sound to use. I along with my group decided to reach out to people to get permission to use their sound track. The way I decided to do this was by doing research with movies of my genre. The genre for my movie is thriller and I need sound tracks match the genre of the movie. The first movie opening scene I watched was Slender Man. While it was a great sound track for a thriller I do not think it matched what I was aiming for. After going through more and more opening scenes searching for a good soundtrack but, coming short I decided to take a diffrerent approach. I went into Spotify looked there for a good thriller soundtrack and after a bit I stumbled across a great soundtrack. The sound track that I found was Dominic Frontiere's Color of Night soundtrack. I then proceed to e-mail him for the right to use his sound track. He has not gotten back to me but in case he does not let me use that soundtrack I have a back up o...

 For my final task I decided to get in a group of 3 me and 2 others. This is a change from my past 2 project where I had 3 others making it 4 in total. At first I was going to work in a 4 person group. The same group as last time which involved Keith, Monzur, and Fahim. Fahim ended up switching schools after the music video project. Instead of trying to get a 4th person we decided to stay with 3. The reason being it was much easier to coordinate and it was too much of a hassle to find a 4th member. The reason I chose Monzur is because I have already worked with him in the past. I see him everyday at school so its easy to plan out things. I have known Monzur for a long while now and were pretty close although it has not always been like this. The first time I talked to Monzur was in middle school and we hit it off. We would talk when ever we saw each other in middle school. We got even close when we got to high school I would start hanging out with him more then COVID hit. Over the ...
