CCR: REFLECTON TO COMMERCIAL

    So today I have finally gotten a break from life. My aunt has been pregnant these past nine months and yesterday she was induced so she is in the process of having the baby as I type. I have been so busy helping my aunt and godparents prep for the baby that I actually left away from home my mother and siblings of course I kept in contact but my assistance was needed over here considering they had other children in the house. 
    So I have been at my aunt's house from almost a month or so now and I have been taking care of the kids and helping them with school it interfered with my work and classes sometimes but I didn't have anyone around to ask for help so I ended up stuck and having to just deal with it but its okay I just have to catch you guys up started with my commercial blog.  My commercial is challenging conventions by deteriorating the idea that NIKE and Under Amour are businesses that are all about money.
    Whether the school work has to get done during practice or not the work and effort put in by those who do have it as easy as the rest of society tends to become the best versions of themselves and become our future leaders of tomorrow because they understand the idea of making due with what they have in front of them.
     A flat basketball on a rainy day on an outside court with only a few hours to spare before its time to hit the books. It could be present as a commercial on cable shows or as an intro to a documentary on Netflix that goes into depth on the message behind it.
    I had to work on my own with this one so I used the tilt shift and a lot of close up shots. I had two editing tools that I used one came with the laptop that I used. I did everything in small takes and trimmed into even smaller clips. I had to add a voiceover to make this commercial the way I wanted it. The process was long but I managed to get through and gained a new god brother along the way.

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 ...

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.
