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: Spring Break is Over

      So we are back from spring break today and everything is in order. Although, we did not film and we did not communicate over the break. I could have predicted that but in that time I did text one group member Nishayla and she was talking to me about an idea she had about changing a scene by the pond I'm not to sure what is was about I don't really remember. However, if any changes are to be made then everything will be adjusted so everything aligns properly. That is if she decides to bring it up to the group.       We decided to do icebreakers have discussed our grades and how our break was before getting to the hard work.  In doing so, we came to agreement that things over the break cleared up and the break gave us time to organize our lives to get everything in order. Fortunately we now have clear schedules allowing us time to film. Unfortunately though in the last minute I did happen to misplace my camera and I eventually will find i...
