Production Blog: Beginning to Film

Image
 To begin the full group filming process everyone met up at Dania Pointe as planned. I coordinated schedules and times to accommodate everyone. Over the weekend on Saturday we all showed up at 11:00am. For today I decided to work on the second scene. The second scene consists of a split screen of the varying perspective of one side eating alone and one side eating with friends. So to set up I first had to find 2 separate areas of Dania Pointe to film. I walked around for about an hour scouting out filming locations. The first place I saw was a long strip of fake grass with a lot of tables around. I thought it would be a good place because it had a nice environment and background. The next area I found was shadowed and isolated. I thought that it would be a good idea to have our solo actor film there. I then walked around and found a couple of other spots but ultimately decided on the first two I found. After this I brought in the actors for the group scene. They all went and got ic...

Production Blog: Finding Music

Image
Before editing the project together I decided I wanted to get one more piece of media to show who I am. This final piece of media would be music. My music taste is very diverse. I like rap, pop, electronic, but mostly indie music. Since my music taste is as diverse as it is I wanted to try and stick to one genre so that the general mood of the commercial is the same throughout. So, I first went to Spotify to search for specific albums I like. The first album I looked at was “Is This It” by The Strokes. Is This It is one of my favorite albums so this was a very obvious place to get a song from. After listening to the full album I narrowed the choices down to “The Modern Age” “Soma” and “Hard To Explain”. I’ll decide which one to use when I start editing the project so I can see which song fits the best with the video. Next, I went through one of my favorite artist’s discography for my next few songs. This artist is called Good Kid and I’ve been a big fan of them for several years now so...

Production Blog: Getting Videos

Image
In my last blog I found all of the pictures I'm going to need for this project. Now, the obvious next step for me is to find some videos. Finding videos is going to be a bit harder as I have less selection to choose from. Before I start searching I want to get a general outline of what videos I want to use for this project. After thinking for a bit I decided a video of me playing hockey, and a video of me doing gymnastics. For both of these I don't have a higher number of options or places to look so I started by going to my social media. On Instagram I like to post videos of me playing hockey so that was a good place to start. After looking through a few posts I narrowed it down to 3 videos. The first video shows me doing a no-look pass behind me which resulted in a goal. The second video shows me getting the puck in front of the net and passing it to my teammate with 7 seconds left causing my team to get a goal and the game ending in a tie instead of a loss. The final video h...
