 Yesterday during class, our teacher gave us the opportunity to start filming our commercial. We started recording early and I was not present last class so I forgot to bring my Crocs, but no worries because my parter brought theirs. We had about an hour to shoot in our respectable areas of the school. Since I did not bring my Crocs, we only had one pair to work with so we were not able to shoot out entire commercial. My partner and I started recording the second scene of our project because the first scene required someone to take off their shoes and only one person had a pair of Crocs so it was not fair for my partner to not have any shoes on while I recorded. For the second scene, we recording in the seating area of our school. In these scene, I recorded my partner slipping on her Crocs with ease. For the next scene that we shot, we walked down a hallway that was outside of a building where the lighting was nice and I recorded my partner walking with her Crocs on in the regular, eas

 During this class period, my partner and I set up our storyboard for our Crocs commercial. We decided on how the commercial would be set up first and then how we would set up the storyboard that will coordinate with our commercial. In our first box, we have the actress holding a pair of crocs to show the jibbitz/gems off that decorate the crocs. In our second box, the actor is seen putting on their crocs while they are sitting on a bench located in the school. The third box shows the actor walking with the crocs on in both sports and comfortable mode. After the shoes are shown in both of the different wearable modes, the cameraman or woman will zoom into the crocs, showing the different angles of the shoes. Finally, our last box/part of our commercial will include the actors dancing as the crocs slogan comes on the scene concluding our commercial. Since my partner and I don't have a plethora of different color crocs, during the time of recording if anyone else with a pair of crocs

 Props: - My partner and I have decided to do our commercial on Crocs so our main prop will be different pairs of Crocs shoes. We won't have any other props due to the fact that we will only be focusing on the shoes.  Costumes: - In our commercial, my partner and I will be in the main characters in this advertisement. We would wear basic everyday clothing such as t-shirts, jeans or shorts, hoodies, sweatpants, and of course our Crocs. The main focus will be the Crocs and the actor's feet so out we may way socks with our Crocs so we can easily move in them.  Schedule: On 9/23/21, my partner and I researched conventions and codes of Crocs commercials.  On 9/23/21, my partner and I established props, costumes, schedule, location list, an backup plan.  On 9/29/21, my partner and I will create a storyboard for our 30 second commercial.  On 10/1/21, my partner and I will film and record the needed shots for our commercial.  On 10/5/21, my partner and I will edit and add final touches

 My partner and I are conducting a Crocs commercial. Usually in Crocs commercials, the audience would see someone walking or dancing in a pair of newly released Crocs. They do this to show how comfortable the shoes really are.  - In Crocs commercials, the actors or actresses are usually wearing a pair of crocs with a comfortable outfit, such as, sweatpants, shorts, hoodies, and so much more.  - Props include the jibbits aka the charms you can attach to the Crocs which are customizable to your choosing.  - Their appearance may not be the best but, when you slip in your foot with the easy, hassle free access you'll think otherwise. The actor or actresses appearance gives off a very comfortable vibe while they are wearing their newly purchased crocs.  - The score through the commercials are very upbeat and warm and give you the feeling of comfort in the ambiance 1. Conventions and Codes in Crocs commercials include the slogan "Crocs. Come as you are." This slogan is well kno

  In my group I am only working with one person and that is Nicole Tarantino. We have known each other since 9th grade, and bonded over our hatred for math. When we first joined this class, we didn't know we had the same period together so that was very exciting because other than this class we don't have any together. When we received our first assignment for media studies we were ready to quit right then and there but once we actually thought about the assignment and what we could do and how we could do it we were fine. We both think that we are going to have a hard time keeping up with our homework in our other classes but we are going to try our hardest. Nicole is 16, she recently got her drivers license and she helps picks up her younger brother when her mother in unable to. I know for a fact she loves her brother with all her heart, she would do anything for him and help him with anything he needs. Her birthday is in October and she's a scorpio and we get along very w

 Hi, my name is Jordyn Jackson and I am in 11th grade and attend Fort Lauderdale High School. I am 16 years old, play soccer, volleyball, and softball but I would have to say that soccer is my favorite sport to play. I am Jamaican so my family and I are very interested in soccer and play often which is what moved me to actually play for my school. I started playing in middle school but I have not been able to play at all my high school year because of forms I did not have and COVID, but I am trying out this year and very excited to start playing again. One thing I do regret is not playing soccer from a younger age so I could have a better relationship with the sport and possibly more friends that are interested in the same sport that I play. I attend Fort Lauderdale High for their infamous law program but I also take AICE classes for my Cambridge diploma. This program initially interested me because of the four years of free college, although some courses may be hard at some points but
