AICE Media Studies - Planning!!

 For our project, we have decided to film at Jackon’s house or community. This is because there are a lot of different locations within walking distance for us to film at. Zane, Kyle and Kevin will all come over and then we can begin to film. Another positive aspect of this location is the safety included. All of our parents have agreed to let us film at this location. Jackson’s parents have also agreed to supervise us, that way there is always an adult present should anything go wrong. We will also make sure to stay away from any props that could potentially injure someone, such as a knife or a hammer. If we do use an object that could potentially be dangerous if used improperly, an adult will always be nearby in case of an emergency. Another safety aspect included with the community is that there is 24/7 security, which makes it safer to film after dark if necessary. The community is gated with provides that extra level of safety and comfort. Our group may need a little more time to decide what days we are going to film on as we are majority busy with after-school athletics that consume a lot for our schedule. Once we can all decide on a time and day that we know will 100% work, we will update all of you in our production blogs. We look forward to making this film, so it will be prioritized in all our schedules. Overall, finding a spot in your schedule for filming a movie can be a daunting task, especially if you have a lot of other commitments and responsibilities. It's important to prioritize and make sure that filming the movie is something you really want to do and that it aligns with your overall goals and values. One way to make room in your schedule for filming is to block off specific chunks of time in advance and plan your other activities and obligations around those blocks. It may also be necessary to delegate some tasks or responsibilities to others so that you can free up more time for filming. In some cases, you may need to make sacrifices or trade-offs in order to make room for filming. This could mean cutting back on social activities, taking time off work, or rearranging other commitments. Communication is key when it comes to scheduling conflicts. If you're struggling to find a spot in your schedule for filming, it's important to be transparent with the film crew and let them know what your limitations are. It's important to be flexible and adaptable when it comes to scheduling. Unexpected things can always come up, so it's important to have a backup plan in case something falls through or changes at the last minute.

Creative Critical Reflection

  The commercial for my product, Gatorade, uses convention in terms of the style of commercials filmed. In most if not all Gatorade commercials, it contains someone doing something athletic or sports related such as playing a sport or working out at the gym. This is what we used to base our commercial off of. These commercials are also normally highly energetic which we used to help pick a style of music to play in the background. This commercial also highlights athletic social groups and some of the things associated with them. It shows that Gatorade helps to decrease dehydration in these athletic groups while participating in tiring activities, such as working out.  The commercial engages audiences by not only encouraging them to buy the product, but also to participate in athletic activities, which is good for you. The commercial shows that Gatorade helps stop dehydration which could encourage more people to buy the product to drink while working out or playing a sport. The commerci

Finally Filming

  Today Zane and I finally filmed the commercial and finished it. After all the hurricane delays plus another unexpected incident, he and I finally found time to film. The gym was a bit full for a little while so it wasn't as quick as expected. There were a couple people that gave recommendations but we stuck to our storyboard. I was the actor in the commercial and Zane was the director. He took 7-21 second videos of many different workouts and picked the best few to include. A few videos were excluded because of the people in the background that did not want to be filmed. Zane filmed using his iPhone instead of a professional camera. It was easier for both of us to use his phone instead of taking the time to find a real camera. He took shots from high and low angles to capture the best views. In total, it took around 30 minutes to film all that we needed. Zane looked over the videos to see what he could use for editing. He did not edit it on that same day because there was not e

Editing !!

Image
 Today Zane started the editing process. After a long wait, filming is finally complete and editing can begin. He will use Adobe Editing Software for most of the editing and maybe iMovie for the rest. The editing is really easy for him and he enjoys it so I don’t have to do much editing. I’ve tried and asked but he refuses to let me touch editing because he enjoys it. He edited the last video so it was easier for him to just do this one too. When he is done, I will get opinions from other people on what to do better next time. There were new angles in this video that I would like outside opinions on. I will ask a bunch of different people to hopefully get honest opinions. Once reviewing the finally opinions, I can finalize the video for submission. Most of the editing will be done separately because it is easier that way. I cant really help a lot either way so it’s not like Zane will need me for anything. He said he hopes to finish early so he has time to review. I will also review it
