Implementing a Plan

Props -


Because the product that we chose to advertise are Beats headphones, the main prop in our commercial will be the Solo 3 Beats headphones. Other props in the commercial include a computer, possibly a cup of coffee, a car, a basketball, and the surrounding elements in each setting.


Costumes -


The subject of this commercial will just be Joshua, our lone actor, In this commercial, he will be seen wearing casual clothes, something similar to a t-shirt and some sweatpants. As we move along with the film he will be seen wearing more athletic wear as he begins doing activities such as basketball and running. An idea, later on, is to include the use of some of our friends as extras just to help wrap up the commercial in a smoother fashion. Their attire will also be seen as casual wear, as there is no need for them to wear any special costumes


Schedule - 


10/4/22-Finish the researching, planning, and storyboard for the commercial.

10/5/-10/6/22-Begin the first day of production and establish how well the props, location, and storyboard work.

10/9-10/11/22- Begin the second day of production and finalize all decisions and clean up all costumes and

rough drafts from the first day.

10/12/22-Start the editing process of the film and add all effects and non-diegetic sounds to the

commercial.


Location List -


Our starting location or main location will begin at a coffee shop. Our goal of the commercial is to show the activities of the day where one might be inclined to use their headphones. Creating numerous scenes where the use of headphones seems natural adds to the advertisement of the commercial.

After we are finished with the scenes in the shop, we will then travel by car to a park. The main setting of the park will be the basketball court, which we will use to highlight the more athletic side of beats commercials.


Backup Plan -


If the coffee shop is unavailable to use we have a couple of other options. If necessary we could possibly go to a Barnes and Noble or one of our houses to shoot the beginning sequence. If we cannot go to the park due to weather or other uncontrollable circumstances we will just have to shoot other daily aspects of lives where beats could be of use. One possible location is going to the mall, doing homework in a library, going to the gym, etc. If by chance one of us cannot direct we will simply use the other member in our group of three to finish the project.

No One Likes a Third Wheel, But Now We’re a Car!

       For the previous projects, I have continuously worked with Joshua Newell and Aidan Jones. I have found that working with them has produced consistently good work. We are able to communicate well and our schedules coincide, allowing us to get a lot of work done. While all of this is true, our group decided to add another member to the mix. We have decided to team up with Randy Sweeting.     There were several reasons why we wanted to add another member to the group. Most of them came from our last project. When filming the music video, we had trouble splitting the work load. It was a bigger project than the first, and we wanted to include more actors. This posed a challenge to the three of us, because we would all have to be present on camera. Additionally, we wanted a different perspective. The three of us agree on a lot of things. As a result, we sometimes miss out on better ideas or more efficient practices because we are so likeminded.  ...

Get Your Popcorn.. Let’s Watch A Movie

 Now that the group has chosen what genre and concept we want our final project to be, it’s time to watch a few films that follow the conventions of the sports genre. Today’s film will be Creed 2, directed by Steven Caple Jr. and starring Michael B. Jordan alongside Sylvester Stallone. What elements (Conventions) of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this  movie have?   The elements of this picture that relate to our genre would be that it is louder, grander, and greater than the first one. By maintaining an emphasis on the humanity of its main characters, it is able to correct itself. More than any punch delivered in the ring, whether Rocky will see his son again and the tribulations of the recent Creed couple are the subjects of greater suspense. The boxing scenes are fascinating and fun. Also, it gives fans a feast of entertainment.  What elements (Conventions) of the genre did the movie have that you like?  I enjoy how Adonis and Viktor...

On the Nice List

 Upon further inspection, our footage wasn’t as bad as I described. We had a lot of salvageable shots. As a result, we are going to keep the footage we have already taken. However, we are going to go back to the park to take some simple shots to make the beginning less choppy. Thankfully, we won’t have to pay to be in the area of the park we have to film this at.  Plans to reshoot went well. We got the basic shots we needed to fill out certain spots in the video. Now, it’s time to edit. We choose to split up the work between us. This was to ensure that each of us had a say in the vision for the video. Splitting the work also alleviates the burden of editing it all by one’s self.  Unfortunately, the equipment I was using didn’t allow me to work with computer software to edit the video. The laptop I had was broken and unreliable, so I went back to the editing software I used in the previous project. I started by putting all the takes we took in a big project and muting each...
