Planning Blog: What to do moving forward

 I will be talking about my next planning methods for the future commercial. My next moves for the commercial project this incudes props, costumes, due dates, location as well as the editing days I will need to perfect the ad. I struggled at first to pick a brand to focus on at first. I took a while but made my final decisions on the 26th of October as far as planning goes. I was able to establish what tools I would need to use to successfully complete this ad. 

So, lets start with props; the props I plan to use although there aren't very many they are crucial. I will be using my Nikon d3200 camera to film and as extras I will need a basketball a small team of girls which I can easily obtain from my team. I may also need baby oil and water to help add to my sweat effect. Costumes will also be needed to set the stage and scene so I planned to use Nike branded outfits from tights to dry fit t-shirts. These can range from all sorts of color with the Nike symbol on it. 

Other branded Nike athletic wear is also an option and actors hair would have to be put up in a bun or ponytail out of the way while exercising. On October 27th, 2020 after I made my final decisions I was able to complete all my planning and accomplish finishing my storyboard which was a success. On the 28th I will be going out to make sure the stage is ready to film and begin my filming. Hopefully on the 29th that will happen. After ill start recording and finish my shots and since I already have found my stage and begun filming, I should be starting my editing soon after. 

However, I'm not sure yet what the due date I will have for that is so I will release that in the future filming blog. The location that I want to use is carter park. I want to use this place, because it would give me access to a gym, an indoor basketball court, empty stage rooms, a pool, as well as a track and outside basketball court. Having this park as my set up allows me to make accommodations to my scene with ease in case of missing people or weather changes. Have this park would make filming easier, because in case of needed extra time and a place to charge my camera there are outlets and there isn't a closing time for the park. This therefore, makes it easier to do as I please while filming and editing my ad. I will also have a partner named Nishayla who will be helping me film hopefully if all goes well but as I said I have accommodations that I can use in case of everything going wrong. Until then enjoy my online pictures from Nike that help me in script writing for the spokesperson.

A dysfunctional mother-daughter relationship is the subject of our short film. The first shot of the first scene is of the outside of a house, which sets the tone for Roxy and Ms. Jackie's home. The shot then moves on to the interior of the house. Roxy is shouted at by her mother about housework in the next scene, which is more focused on the performers' relationships. There is a close-up of food on the floor, which Roxy must clean up as part of her tasks. This scene shows her and her mother going back and forth.

Short Film Research: ( Migrants/ Drama)

       This short film was 8 minutes long and the plot was pretty easy to figure out basically there were polar bears being pushed out of their home lands due to global warming and exiled from brown bear territory being left to fend for themselves on the ocean. In the beginning of the short there was a climax point where the baby polar bear fell of the ice and into the water from the ice breaking and the mother jumps after the baby. This was a great way to start the film it immediately introduce the drama factor that a film should have lots of heart racing and anticipating moments. There was a conflict with the polar bears and the brown bears over food and the was another great way to help deliver a message. Although it is animated the film didn't use and real dialogue just animal noises such as grunts and snorts and well as instrumental music in the background.     It reminds me of how lonely many of us are. It can be interpreted as a political manifesto, ...

Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

               The Short: My first impressions of the 9 short film was a bit confusing and when things slowly began to make sense in the end we were left with a weird cliff hanger and although it didn't make much sense seeing the numbers stitched onto other ghost dolls backs before the screen goes out helps establish that there is more to the story and that the is an explanation to what we were seeing. We couldn't really tell what the plot was in the beginning of the short it was hard to put two and two together but after seeing the  ghost dolls it can an appeal of an post-apocalyptic event that happened with 9 being the only survivor of his kind in the all out war. In the character development you could see that 9 was alert and nervous yet curious to find out whats going on and what he can do to survive. The character built a sense of fight or flight mode during the chaos in the short. We saw that there were lots of special effects i'm ...
