My Filming Plans are Ruined

Today March 17th me and my group were supposed to meet up to film. The date for the filming was set a while back almost a whole week before. Although I was prepared to film some problems came up. One of our members had a last minute family trip. This trip was the cause of some problems since there was nothing he could do about it. The reason being was because it is spring break and if his family goes any later the plane tickets are going to be expensive. Also so they can maximize the amount of time they spend wherever they are going. Since the group member which was Monzur was not going to be gone all spring break I decided to film when he came back. Although this was a good Idea another problem arose which was that Keith had to go to Georgia to see his sister. Keith was going to stay in Georgia for most of Spring break. This was terrible news since Keith was most likely supposed to be my camera man. Keith was going to come back the weekend before spring break ended which left me and my group 2 more days to film over spring break. The only problem being that I was going to be gone that weekend and not return until Monday night. I was leaving to Orlando on a church trip to a spring which was really unfortunate for my group. So through all of spring break me and my group were unable to film because unfortunate events kept happening over and over. I was kind of expecting this since it is spring break after all. Many people like to travel all over the place and it is also a perfect time to visit family in different states. Although me and my group did not get to film anything I know I am going to do just fine. Hopefully when we all come back I can set up a date to film without any interruptions. I am getting all excited just thinking about finishing
this project

Title Research: Code 8

  1.How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? In the Opening sequence there are a lot of titles. The ones that are included are the names of the actors playing big roles in the film also the names of the crew such as executive producer and costume designer. 2.What connotations do the images carry? (how do you they make you feel)? The images shown in the title sequence make me feel like something big is going on since its showing a news report of many different thins on a television in the background. 3.How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? By showing the multiple broadcasts in the back ground it makes the person wonder what's happening building up suspense. From this opening sequence one can narrow down what type of genre it is but maybe not guess it. 4.What conventions are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? The Film uses its theme to speak to the audience and show us what the wo...

  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...
