Filming Day lets goooo

So in my group, I was one of the actors in our commercial. I started the day off by being ready to help my teammates get props and any other things we needed from the classroom before leaving. I grabbed the Arizona ice tea cans and prepared to head out to the bathroom to go change. After changing to my outfit for the commercial. I walked out to the football field and went to the closest bleachers, so I could sit in the middle of the bleachers as in my storyboard. I was sitting down practicing some of my lines with the other actress until my groups first problem arose, where the angle of the bleachers that we were sitting at wasn’t working because of the direction of the sun. The sun was behind me and the other actress instead of above us or in front of us. So me and my group decided to make the collective decision to move to the bleachers behind me. Then I started to walk over there with my group.

I and the other actress got onto the middle of the bleachers. I got on to sit right hand side. While I was sitting there the Director Jordyn was moving me and my fellow actress around figuring out the proportions of the shot to try to get us in the middle of the frame. Then it was time to start filling.

I was the actress to start talking first so I had to make sure to keep an eye on Jordyn‘s phone, so when she was panning down from the sun to us so I could start my lines. After that it was time for me too do my scene of me grabbing the Arizona can from Arizona and then pulling it back and drinking it.

Then when I drink it I remember to get the other actress an Arizona can as well. So I reach in and grab another one and me and my fellow actress clink drinks and drink them as the camera pans down to the Arizona on the left of actors two.

Than that’s where we stopped for filming day one.  So that next week we could film the scene of me grabbing the Arizona can from Arizona

  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 mac...

Planning Blog: Title Design- It's in the Details

Image
  Well hello there! We are now going to explain the layout and formatting of the title design for our opening sequence. As of right now, all of the design ideas we have outlined below will likely be those that we will be using going forwards; however, there is still the possibility that we may decide to make changes as our production process continues and we reach the editing stage of our project. After scouring the internet, we found and settled on using the "Sometimes" font, being that it was not as gaudy as some of the others that we encountered online and, as such, would not detract attention away from the film itself, but it would still be able to properly credit each participant. Additionally, said font's use of sharp edges allows it to create a tense feeling that feeds into the thriller aspect of our film.      When it comes to ensuring that each of our titles are readable, we will likely not embed all of them into our scenes and run the risk of them...
