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.

Our Pitches

The group has several ideas on what we should make our video about. We have narrowed them down to three in order to make the decision easier for ourselves. The first pitch surrounds two high athletes that play volleyball. The two are inseparable, but different in nature. One was always extremely passionate about volleyball, determined to improve and become a major player of the sport. For convenience, we will call this character Character A (or CA for short). The other character was never very interested in sports and was more intrigued by online endeavors (phones, gaming, etc.). This character will be called Character B (or CB). One day, CB is sitting on the stairs on his phone when CA is going down them. CA drops the volleyball in his hand, yelling for CB to watch out as it moves towards him. CB is caught off guard, dropping his phone as the yelling startles him. Miraculously, he is able to pass the ball back to CA perfectly and catch his ...

The Conference Call

Unfortunately, the group could not come together to film this week. This was extremely frustrating because it set us behind for a few days. Many of us were working, and when we weren't, others had obligations they couldn't miss. Despite this minor setback, we still made time to talk about our film. The group decided to do a phone call to work out the details of the project. Again, we were focusing on the opening. We are unfamiliar with the formatting of the intro. As a result, we all had many different ideas on how we should execute it. All of us provided input on how we could change certain scenes and dialogue to accommodate the opening. Though small decisions like the font have not been ironed out, we have a clear idea of how we want the names and titles to be displayed. This may require some of the scenes to be reshot, but we are perfectly fine with making this adjustment to get the best product we can. The group agreed that we should im...

All About Me

My favorite things are art and pop culture. As a result, many of my hobbies are related to both of those things. The main things I enjoy are music and fashion, which conjoin the two aforementioned topics. My favorite brands are Mugler, Maison Margiela, and Diesel. I spend a lot of my time watching fashion shows from these brands. A dream of mine is to become a stylist or creative director of some kind. I also enjoy thrifting clothes and looking for vintage pieces online. My favorite periods for fashion and general inspiration are the 90s and 2000s. As a result, I often reference iconic moments in those eras in my art. I make a lot of different kinds of art. I have been painting and drawing traditionally for most of my life. Recently, however, I’ve been drawing digitally more often. I prefer it because you have an endless amount of colors and brushes you can use and you can correct mistakes easily. Some ...
