Back to filming

 Today we finalized our production. Alejandro, Demaine and I went out to finalize the scenes we needed. Which was to first show off different styles/colors of the watch bands. And lastly to shoot the final shot showing off the watch in its glory.

To shoot the first shot we initially had the though of shooting multiple different scenes of our groupmate Demaine walking, and as he took each step the color of the band would switch (which we would've touched up on during editing). We had many takes on this but it wouldn't look right. There would always be a problem, one time the lighting didn't line up in the different takes and it looked strange, this other time our cameraman Alejandro wouldn't hold the camera in the same angle and that completely ruined the shot. So we ended up scratching it and filmed it a different way. We kept thinking on what we would do, we wanted to keep the same idea with interchanging bands. So we came up with the new idea of having the watch in one set place changing band color. We first marked a spot where the band will indefinitely be placed. We had to shoot 6 different scenes because we had 6 different bands. We made sure everything was well placed and moved on to the next and final scene.

For our last scene we'd knew from the start what it would be and look like. We had the thought of having all the different bands surrounding the apple watch in a pretty scenery. First we'd have to find a area on the campus that looked appealing. We found an are a with plants and flowers and we knew that was the spot we'd film at. The scene itself didn't take much effort to film. It took us one take to shoot our final film. Overall it was a very fun experience to film this commercial and were excited to see how the commercial will end up looking like.

Genre Research: Comedy

  My group and I are also researching comedy. As much as we want action, we also need to laugh. A comedy would also be a lot easier for us since we can just be ourselves. Comedy movies have a lot of close- ups, pans, long shots, and zooms. Close ups allow you to lead your audience into a more intimate setting. You can literally bring your audience closer to the action. And it emphasizes the importance of what we see. But as the push continues, it all breaks, letting viewers know they're watching a comedy movie.Long shots  give an overall context to the scene and usually lets viewers know that what we’re seeing right now isn’t the whole picture... until it zooms all the way out. Static shots, or stand still shots, build suspense. In comedy movies it allows room for the characters to correct themselves or something, Almost like a "wait for it" moment. Zooms emphasize expressions shown throughout the film. Props used in comedy films range from nothing to everything- like a t...

   Props Being that our commercial is an Apple Watch commercial, our main prop will be the Apple Watch. However we will also have different color Apple Watch bands as well as props aswell Costumes We have came up with these costumes to flow with the message we are trying to portray of the apple watch within that scene. Therefore, two of us will be exempliying the athletics perks of the Apple Watch, by wearing athletic clothing, to show the health and workout benefits of the watch. Another scene will include one of us wearing a really nice outfit, which may include, but is not limited to a nice shirt, jeans and some nice shows. This will help show the customization part of the watch and how stylist it can be and easy access it can. Basically proving the theory "a phone on your wrist".  Schedule  September 23rd:  Our group researched the codes and conventions of Apple Watch commercials  September 24th:  Our group started to plan the different props we ar...

Film review changes

Image
My group and I worked on our film in class. We talked about what modifications we thought needed to be made before we started. My colleagues and I showed our video to strangers last week. They offered us their feedback on how they liked our film and what modifications they thought should be made once they had seen it. We reviewed which adjustments we could and couldn't change as the group went around discussing what changes they were told to make. Many users claimed that the sound was an issue, and that it was difficult to hear specific parts of the actor or actress. Damaine did his best to improve the volume, but it couldn't be adjusted completely without re-filming everything. The editing was also brought to our attention as a concern. We'd have to fix it because some people thought it looked choppy. Damaine corrected what he could as the rest of the crew and I stood behind him, watching what he was doing. He also edited out certain sections that we thought were unneeded ...
