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.

Production blog: Multiple Exposure discovery

    So its been a while since the last update and things haven't gotten very far but there are some positives that have happened. We were able to pick a location that satisfied most of our needs with out the hassle of needing permission to film and be on park grounds. We thought to see if we could find more actors but it was harder than expected. Seeing as everyone would have to have their own transportation and our filming would have to fit into someone else schedule. This made it harder on us but we kept searching.       So we had someone but the plans ended up changing when that person was no longer available. We understood that sometimes circumstances change. So, now we are all just planning a day to set up and film. This consist of making sure we have the camera set and all phones charged. Also having battery packs for the camera ready.       We definitely can't forget mask for covid-19 protection. An lastly, its key to having a fir...

Commercial Blog: Nike Vs. Under Amour Grand Finale

 I thought I would be fine using the Nikkon D3200 camera as this laptop has an SD card slot but the problem I had was that my SD card didn't fit in the slot. During my editing is when I realize that I have another clothing brand appearing in the finished ad. So I took the opportunity the next day to tweak the film so that it finally shows the images of both brands in one to let others know that this is a collaborative promotion. The reason is that it allows a certain message to be shown in the ad. So from my imagination I was able to sum up a few last-minute moments and since one of the actors doesn't own anything from the Nike brand I made a little tweak to allow two different brands to co-exist in my ad.       The two brands I choose are Nike and Under Amour. I would leave it alone if I don't see the logo but I can recognize it on one of my actor's shirts while editing. I plan to dub or add music to the ad to make it fun while the ad continues. Each actor put ...

Genre Research: Romance & Drama

Romance is defined by intimate relationships. In some cases, there may be a twist but at the end the main point in films is about the pursuit of love. Romance is not only its own genre but can also be seen in other genres such as thriller, Comedy, Drama, etc. Common lighting usually seen in romance includes high key lighting in which makes the seen more cheerful due to the brightness and warm colored lighting to create an inviting and mellow mood.

Another common camera angle seen in romance films are over the shoulder shots. It captures the face expressions and body language.
