Will it ever end?!

 After what were supposedly the final touches being added to the video, a few things went wrong. First off, Zane had edited some of the clips into the wrong order, causing the video to look like a random jumble of videos. This lead to a lot of stress amongst the group and especially for Zane. What had happened was that the editing software had a malfunction and it messes up the entire video. Zane had edited it correctly in the first place but the Adobe Editing Software scrambled the clips. When Zane realized this, he quickly downloaded the scrambled video along with each of the individual clips. This was to avoid any future issues involving the software. It took almost 4 hours for every single clip to download to his computer. After a long wait and a very nervous one at that, Zane was able to access each of the downloaded clips in his computer. This took a bit of stress off of Zane but the clips were still scrambled. The group agreed that each member should review a set of clips to determine the right order. This cut down the amount of time needed by almost an hour. Although it was still very complicated, it took significantly less time to complete. After around an hour and 45 minutes, each member had finished organizing their set of clips. All that was left was re-editing the original video. Zane decides it would be best to use a new form of editing software to avoid anymore mishaps. He decided to use iMovie for the rest of the video, since it was easy to access. Zane took a lot longer to edit using iMovie because he wasn’t used to the layout. After a couple hours of editing, he finally finished the project. He downloaded it and sent each group member a copy to make sure nothing happened to the video. My group was so excited to finally be done.

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
