Planning Blog

 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 to our commercial. 

Location List:

Our main location will be the sitting area in our school. At this sitting area my partner and I will record parts of our commercial from different angles and try to get different shots of our Crocs. The main focus will be the shoes and not the actors or anything around them. 

Our second location will be on the stairs of building 5 which is covered overhead so rain will not be a problem recording in this area. 

Our last and final location will be in between buildings 9 and 21 in front of the school where we will record in the hallway. 

Backup Plan:

If all else fails or the weather is not the way we like it, my partner and I will switch to a different approach where our main focus will be backpacks which we can do inside any classroom, library or outside without being stuck under gloomy clouds. If one participant is absent, the other partner will have to shoot from different angles that do not require a second person being present.

Let's Talk

As seen in the last blog, you know that my team and I were unable to film. We were unable to film because Pedro didn't feel well so we just cancelled the entire day. Since we cancelled everything there wasn't much for us to do so we waiting until we got back to school. Today we were able to meet back up in class to talk about what we needed to do. In class we talked about why we cancelled since Pedro didn't tell me why and what we did during that day. Since we have a long period we took a break in between to do other things. Once we realized the time, we decided to talk about the upcoming plans for our film. The part that takes us the most to come up with is the date. Since Nicole and I have jobs we have to coordinate our schedule, especially our weekend schedule since we are usually jam-packed. I don't know much about Pedro's schedule since we don't talk much outside of school. We know for sure Pedro doesn't have a job so he shouldn't have a problem wit...

Gente Research (Comedy)

     My group and I are also researching comedy. As much as we want action, we also need to laugh. A comedy would also be a lot easier for us since we can just be ourselves. Comedy movies have a lot of close- ups, pans, long shots, and zooms. Close ups allow you to lead your audience into a more intimate setting. You can literally bring your audience closer to the action. And it emphasizes the importance of what we see. But as the push continues, it all breaks, letting viewers know they're watching a comedy movie.Long shots  give an overall context to the scene and usually lets viewers know that what we’re seeing right now isn’t the whole picture... until it zooms all the way out. Static shots, or stand still shots, build suspense. In comedy movies it allows room for the characters to correct themselves or something, Almost like a "wait for it" moment. Zooms emphasize expressions shown throughout the film. Props used in comedy films range from nothing to everything- ...

Research Blog for Music Video

My partner and I are making our music video on “Let Me Love you” by Mario. Usually in R&B songs like this one, the audience would see a storyline. The audience sees the conflict or whatever is happening in the story and the singer trying to get the main character's attention or singing to the main character, unless they are the main character.   In R&B videos, the singer, if it's a male, is usually seen wearing baggy jeans and baggy tee shirts. It's a casual outfit that was very popular in 2000's fashion. In R&B videos, the  women tend to wear basic 2000's fashion, jeans and crop tops, button ups, berets, off the shoulder shirts, and others, all paired with denim, since denim was so popular back then.   The lighting varies in videos, but it depends on the vibe and scenery of the video. Most videos have dim lighting, but some scenes have bright and direct lighting. Other videos can be completely bright or dim, it all depends on the mood.  The ac...
