Day 1 Filming Blog

 Hello everyone! Welcome to my Day 1 Filming Blog! The rundown of today's blog will be David and I's first day of filming. 

To begin, David and I were not able to access and bring in our advertised product, the Gatorade Protein Bar, so today we mainly focused on capturing scenes 1,2,4, and 6. In these particular scenes, David, our athlete, was the main individual focus. By filming day 2, David and I will have access to our advertised product to complete all scenes. 

Scene 1: David and I went out to the Fort Lauderdale High track to get our large scale, wide, and high angled shots on the track. I will say a lot of experimenting while out on the track was required in order for us to get the perfect shot to use in our commercial. Some parts of the track had a parking lot in the background, the road, or even the track shed would be in the way but eventually we found our perfect position on the track to begin the filming process. 

Scene 2: Scene 2 takes place with David on the track begin his routine track and field stretches. We had David do a series of lunges and skips, formally known and A and B skips for track and field conditioning. We wanted to film a series of different stretches to do a short montage of these preparation stretches to be placed in the commercial. These shots were captured in a wide angle. 

Scene 4: Scene for shows our athlete prepping himself on the runner's apparatus to prepare to sprint off. We had David get into his runner's stance on the starting block to prepare to sprint off. 

Scene 6: Scene 6 is the scene where we show a wide angled shot of David dashing the track into the distance with the Gatorade logo appearing big and bold on the screen. 

Certain shots were definitely re shot over numerous times until we got the perfect shots. We did face certain challenges such as sharing the track with others and having to cooperate an arrangement with other groups to adequately film our advertisement. 

David and I did do our Daily towards the end of the filming day to truly view the footage we captured and critique what we did correctly and would like to re film on day 2. Scenes 2,4, and 6 were perfect to our standards but scene 1 is one that I definitely would like to get the opportunity to re film.

Group Blog

 Hello everyone, welcome to my second blog post, my Group Blog! For my upcoming project, I am choosing to take the route of working alone. Working in groups is not something that I am opposed to, however I want to take the time to evaluate myself and interpret the material before I branch out into collaborating with others. Through the process of curating my first Media Studies project, I want to take the solitude to truly take in the process of going from and creating my idea, to giving a treatment, to writing up my script and storyboard, to then making said film. I will say I do enjoy having creative freedom in the things I create which drives me to want to work solo. having the ability to use whatever idea that comes to my mind as well as having total control, within project guidelines of course, of what I create and how I go about editing, acting, or producing upon sound enticing to me. I will say that working alone does have its' downsides. When working alone you don't get...

Another Hiccup

Image
 Hi everyone! Welcome to my twelfth production blog. While things were going smoothly. Of course there was another hiccup. The big cheating scene I raved about completing, of course it was incorrect. Of the many errors in the scene I would accept such as noise in the background or people moving too much, I made the worst and most simple mistake. I shot the video vertically. honestly this has made me quite upset. As much fun as this film was, I am honestly so ready to move on from it. I love AICE Media and it’s been a fun two years taking the course but my oh my this film has been very consuming. Since today is Friday, I do have to wait almost a week to continue filming. Due to scheduling the only days designated to film were Tuesdays through Thursdays. Hopefully Elijah, Jasmine, and Laura can all make it. But it’ll all be okay. One thing I am reassuring myself of is that spring break is near so I’ll be able to utilize more than 3 hours 3 days a week to get things moving. Honestly, ...

Planning Blog

 Hello everyone, welcome to my Planning Blog! In this blog the general commercial plan will be discussed for my Gatorade Protein Bar commercial partnered with David Brown! The general overview of the commercial is to portray our core athlete, David Brown, who will be a track star consuming the bar before he begins his sprint along the track. The commercial begins by a wide shot zooming in capturing David doing some stretches and setting up the track obstacles to prepare for his sprint. The next scene will cue to David eating the bar while looking victorious in the face getting ready to run the track. David then sets the bar down on a table and moves away. After this another wide shot scene will play out with David in his starting stance preparing to dash the track. The scene will continue with David dashing the track, and then the shot will zoom back on the bar with the Gatorade logo appearing in the screen. going For our costume, David's track uniform will be used along with his r...
