Research Blog: Brainstorming Nike

 If you couldn't tell by title today's blog is going to be me giving information from the research I gathered for my future Nike commercial. Since I am making a commercial on the brand Nike and Nike owns many other popular brands such as Jordan's and converse I had to research this to make sure they aren't two separate brands under different companies. Nike commercials typically involves physical activity such as playing sports and dancing maybe even exercising on a track or using stairs/ bleachers. Usually sweating happens or and effect is made on the characters to show this is what's happening to add to the effect and exaggeration. There are usually people working out wearing Nike branded gear from clothes to shoes and sweat bands basically anything from Jordan's to converse is apart of Nike company and can be worn as long as the logo is seen. 

These commercials typically have a deeper meaning or something the company stands for such as the Black lives matter movement to exercising voting rights or maybe even the balance of sports and education. Its all presented in the form used to empower and motivate others. They typically use close up shots to get the logo and make it part of the main focus and show the symbol which is just a simple check with the slogan Just Do It! To get the attention of the audience they use actors and other popular public figures to show that this brand is worn and used by everyone regardless to what they do. The company uses different appeals in each commercial to get the attention of the audience that range from ethos to pathos and logos. 

Ethos is an argument that appeals to the audience by emphasizing the speaker's credibility and authority. A new Infiniti ad featured Steph Curry, for instance. Although he's not known for his taste in cars, the product is supported by his prominence. Pathos is an appeal made to an audience's emotions in order to evoke feeling. An example would be the animal abuse commercials or world hunger commercials. The way those ae displayed is the way pathos is used to appeal to an audience. Another that's actually related to Nike would be the Black Lives Matter Movement. Logos is a rhetorical or persuasive appeal to the audience's logic and rationality. An example of logos used in a commercial would have to be in advertisement include the citation of statistics, facts, data, charts, and graphs

So overall, I've been working together for my upcoming Nike ad. Usually, these ads have a broader meaning or something the corporation stands for, such as the Black Lives Matter Campaign to exercise voting rights or maybe even the balance between sports and education. It's all done in the context of inspiring and encouraging everyone. Ethos is an assertion that appeals to the listener by stressing the legitimacy and authority of the speaker. Pathos is an appeal to the desires of an audience to elicit feelings. A rhetorical or convincing reference to the reasoning and reason of the viewer is Logos. These are all-important factors I found out from my research for this project.

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 ...
