I've been really busy working on my next commercial for the past few days. It's been a bit exhausting, especially since I've had other classwork to juggle, but I've been putting in a lot of effort to gather a variety of pictures that will help me with the filming part of the project. I've collected a bunch of images and video clips that will form the foundation of my advertisement. Most of these clips don't have any sound right now, but I'll be adding sound during the editing process. When I edit, I plan to include voiceovers, music, and more. At the moment, I'm just filming without worrying too much about the sound because I know I can fix that later when I'm editing. By the way, there was a little scare when I accidentally dropped my camera on the kitchen floor while filming a scene. Luckily, it didn't break, but it definitely got me a bit concerned. Next time, I'll just have to be more careful when I film the rest of my project. I've b...
To kick off the production of my commercial, I began finding outfits to portray different parts of personalities and different styles. I began using Google Docs in order to write a sequence of what I want to happen and when. I personally find Google Docs to be very simple and easy to use over Microsoft. I've been typing out what sort of shots I want and why I want them. For example, I've typed out a shot of me doing my homework or doing something productive, followed by me doing something unproductive. Along with just writing how my commercial is going to look, I've been going through my dad's older cameras to find a good one to film with. Worst case scenario, I can just use my phone to record everything. Lighting is important, so I've been playing around with different light colors I have and seeing what lamps I can use to recreate good lighting. I've been looking for props around my house that I can use, and different photos of my...
When planning how I want to layout my commercial about me, I want to portray many different sides of my personality, style, interests, moods, and more. To show this, I've been looking for different music to use for each part of who I am. Along with that, I've been looking more into what colors represent in film/media in order to showcase different emotions and meanings for the audience. While color does a lot in media, I know it's not the only way to convey certain things, that's why I've been researching camera angles. Certain shots can make the subject feel bigger or smaller, which is what I want to use in my commercial for certain small clips. I want to show my likes and dislikes, however I don't want to explicitly say "I like dogs." Instead, I want to show it with visuals throughout the commercial for my interests. In order to achieve this, my commercial will have a few videos of my dogs, or a clip of making tacos, maybe even another shot...
