  Hello there! Today we started and completed our storyboard. After much deliberation and (civil) argumentation over the proposal of our ideas, we decided that our commercial will follow the format found below: Scene 1:   In Scene 1, the camera will pan downwards from the sun, located at the highest point in the sky, creating an establishing shot, and being used to show just how unbearably hot it is outside during the afternoon. This camera movement will take roughly three seconds to execute. During this time, a diegetic sound of cicadas chirping will be playing, which will allow us to not only set the scene, but also the time of year before the actual dialogue even begins, being that cicadas only come out during the early summer months. That, in turn, will allow for time, which would have been used to create an exposition, to be saved, whilst also immersing the audience into the commercial itself and catching their attention from the very beginning.  Scene 2: In Scene 2, panning will

  Props      Since my group is doing the Arizona drink, the only prop we will use the most is an Arizona can. Along with any other insignificant items in the commercial. Costumes      Nicole and I will be the actors in the commercial. At the beginning of the commercial, we will have comfy, chill outfits on. Once the Arizona can is introduced, we will change outfits into something bolder and eye-catching to match our drink. This is to match the 'aesthetic' of the Arizona drink. Order First, my team will figure out how we want our commercial to be. We find out our exact setting, the basic concept for the ad. Next, we find out how we want to film it and how. What supplies do we use, what angles and direction do we film. After we have the footage, we edit our video to fit our standards. We add the music, any transitions, on-screen text, and more. Locations and Ideas The few locations we will film on is the Senior Patio, the track field, and the vending machines under the staircase.

Commercial Research and Codes

  For the commercial project, my group and I are doing an Arizona tea commercial. After I watched a few of the original Arizona commercials, I was able to notice the CLAMPS examples.  - The actors have casual/comfortable clothes.  - The setting is usually the store the Arizona drink is being sold. A shot of the customer grabbed the drink from the refrigerator at the place it's being sold.  - The people in the ad are shown happier after the drink is introduced. - The background music is chill and soft. As well as the sound of the can fizzing when they open the drink. - The only prop that is important is the can of the drink itself.  -  The color patterns used are bright colors on the screen. Different pops of colors. The code for Arizona commercials is showing the drink up close. Making the logo and can design visible for viewers to recognize the can. The Arizona logo is also shown on screen after the commercial plays.

Hello, my name is Nicole but most people just call me Nico.  I have many different interests in many different types of media.  I am an avid doll and toy collector.  The types of dolls that I collect are fashion dolls and the types of toys I collect figurines or small collectible items from different brands.  I’m also very much into cartoons, anime, and video games, with good visual storytelling or a good well-written cast of characters.  Some of these shows/video games are demon slayer, shameless, The Legend of Zelda series, Hilda, and los espookys.  I’m also an artist that dabbles in many different types of art media .  I mostly do drawing painting and digital artwork.  Most of these things are done on my drawing tablet or any canvases or objects I can find.  I very much do have a bit of experience in storyboarding because it was one of my interests for a while so I learned how to do a bit of that.  I’m also into cars and machinery.  I worked at an auto mechanic shop for a year or so
