Research:

For my project, I will be doing a sneaker commercial, but dance edition. My commercial is based all around dance shoes, specifically Reebok dance shoes. In usual sneaker commercials, the audience sees/hears:
  • the camera at an extreme close-up of the actors' feet to show off the sneakers
  • people dancing, running, or just being active in the specific shoe that the commercial focuses on
  • music in the background
  • eye-catching things/phrases that'll make the audience want to buy the shoes
In typical Reebok commercials, the audience sees/hears:
  • the actors working out/exercising/being active
  • a close-up of the shoes
  • the Reebok logo
  • something funny at the end of the commercial
  • motivational or upbeat music
In my commercial, I will be doing these things, but I'm going to add my own little twist to it. The sneakers that my commercial will be focused on is of course, Reebok's. The specific name of the shoes are "Freestyle Hi Women's Shoes".

Genre Research Blog: Comedy

The third genre that my group will be researching is comedy.  Lighting used in comedic movies usually are three-point, high key, and low key lighting. The lighting is used to set the mood of the scenes and match the settings as well. For example, if someone is at a party, they will most likely use low key lighting to portray the fact that the characters are at a party. Camera angles most used in comedy films are high angles, low angles, and dutch angles. The low angle is used to make the person appear more dominate over someone or something. High angles are used to do the exact opposite of what low angle does for the actor. High angle makes the actor appear more vulnerable or make it known that there is something or someone higher or above the actor. Dutch angles are used to add an dramatic effect to either a confusing or awkward situation. Camera movements used in comedy films are pan, tilt, handheld, zooms and steadicams. These movements are all used to further emphasize the mood in

Production Blog: Filming

The filming process for this music video was a long one. I decided that I wanted to make changes to the plot of the music video right before I started filming and everything. While filming, I made an accident and followed my storyboard. Then I realized later on that my storyboard was not what I was supposed to be following. I was supposed to follow the changes that I had written down in my "Notes" app on my phone. So once I realized that, I went ahead and made more storage on my filming device. My filming device was just my cell phone. But, I cleared storage by just simply permanently deleting the takes that I didn't need since the plot changed. So while filming, I came across some troubles. Since I was the main character, some times I couldn't make shots the way I wanted to. But, of I had a backup plan. I had to finesse it in one way or another so I had to go ahead and use my backup plan. My backup cameraman was my little sister. Thankfully she was able to help me. I
