Filming day 1

Image
  Today, September 29th, my group began filming our commercial. We forgot one of our props and were therefore only able to shoot half the commercial. The other actress also could not film their scenes, even the ones that didn't require the specific prop. This is because if they filmed some scenes one day and the rest another day, the costumes would be different. We also could not film our opening scene as it requires both actresses'. I filmed everything and made sure to try and hold the camera as steady as I possibly could. Faith couldn't be in the shots today so she was a big help behind scenes. We were able to get a lot done because the media center was empty and we had no distractions. The first scene I directed was Janiya walking through the front doors into the media center. There was then a series of about 4 clips from her walking through the door to sitting at the desk. Each clip will have a jump cut transition between them. While the commercial is meant to alternate

   My group is doing an Apple technology commercial. In apple commercials people are shown using different forms of technology and presenting the uses for them. When discussing costumes the actors would wear normal every-day outfits, as they are partaking in simple daily activities. Props would include numerous Apple products such as Iphones, watches, Ipads, headphones, airpods, etc. Their appearances would be put together, just average, as Apple products are attainable for mostly people of middle class   The score throughout most apple commercials is a soft and utilize popular songs and artists, catching the audiences attention and engaging them in their product   Conventions and codes of Apple include the apple logo and their motto "Think Different", but the bitten apple is all they need to distinguish their products. Every apple commercial displays the apple logo on the back of their products making the electronic instantly identifiable.  Ethos plays a part in some of Appl

   Props- Since our commercial will be based on Apple, the multinational technology company, our props will consist of   electronics made by them. Products we will produce in the commercial are IPhones, IPads, AirPods, MacBooks, and Apple Watches.  Costumes- In our project we want to include all of our group members in our scenes. Our attire will consist of a variety of everyday clothes as Apple is a 24/7 brand used by millions of people across the world. Examples of clothing pieces like this could be blouses, jeans, pants, T-shirts, sneakers, and many more. With clothing we gladly do not have to be too restricted on what we wear. We however do not want to include too formal or too causal attire as that doesn’t categorize to our Apple theme. Schedule- On September 29th, 2021, we will create our storyboard. On October 1st and 5th, 2021, we will film our commercial. On October 7th and 11th, 2021, we will edit our films On October 11th, 2021, we will finalize and make any last minute chan

 Faith and Riana are going to be group partners for this project. When the class first begun it was just me Faith and Jaylen.  Once Jaylen left the class we actually spoke to other people, that being the introduction of Riana. Riana has talked to us a little before Jaylen switched out and as soon as she did she remembered our names.  It was really nice talking to Riana she is the sweetest and gave my dried up apple slices which I absolutely love. Me and Faith have been friends since freshman year, we use to ride the same bus so we would just chat with each other.  After we started talking to Riana it was very entertaining, we enjoy her company very much.  At first me and Faith were just going to be a duo for the projects because we know how it is to work together already but then we decided since we have this new friend we should do it with her.  Usually me and Faith would find entertainment after we finish our homework and everything trying to pass up time.  Ariana came up without thi
