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.

Research: How to Make a Short Film

This educational video gave me a better understanding of how to make our own movies. While viewing, I discovered that there were some topics I already understood, such as when they were discussing film making. However, the "How to Make a Short Film" video provided me with a wealth of new information that will aid me in the production of our short film. This video includes production and post-production advice from a film specialist. One point that stood out to me was when the expert said not to do it if you can't pull it off. Another suggestion is to play with the audience's emotions and minds. The expert emphasizes that it is either all or nothing, and that nothing should be done halfheartedly. This reminds me of the phrase "Go large or go home," which means "Go big or go home." The film expert explanation reminded me of this statement because it indicates it's all or nothing. Adding needless elements to a scene because they appear t...

Filming: Actors #1 & 2

So during the whole filming process after we decided who would be doing what, it was decided that Nishayla and I would be the main characters to deliver the effects of the message implied I filmed a part of the scenes which is when the other two group members Rohanna and Idline played the part of the bully for Nishayla Actor #1. During that scene I wasn’t in the film because I had to film that specific scene while we put to get her the set and scene. My job was to make sure that Nishayla was set in place while Idline and Rohanna waiting for my call to start the scene. I gave ideas on how to show that bullying was taking place and it ended with the idea that the bag was to be gone through as as an invasion of privacy and tossed everywhere were the contents in the bag while leaving actor #1 to pick up her belongings or what remains of them on her own while she sits there sad and lonely. This gives off her signs of having depression and suicidal thoughts. The camera used ...
