Filming Blog

 On Thursday, the 30th of September, me and my group started filming our commercial, based around the product of AirPods Pro. Unfortunately, one of our group members, Ariel Pickholtz was not present, as she was feeling sick. Regardless, we decided to film anyways, because we would not have much time, and if for any reason we had any problems we could get it out of the gutter now, rather, in the future. For our commercial, I was an extra in the video, but also the one who planned out all the scenes, with a few additions from my group members. The idea of the AirPods Pro came from our group member Ariel, but the actual scenes, were my own thinking. It started off with me watching a couple of  Apple commercials, to get some background on how they were made. With this knowledge in mind, an idea of my own commercial brewed in my head. I chose the angles that would be used, the time limit for each scene, the order of the scenes. The first idea was an over the shoulder shot, that would focus on what was going on, in the phone. There would be a high angle, and a couple of pan shots. Unfortunately, we were not able to finish filming today, as we had a couple setbacks and mishaps while filming, eg. members messing up their part, missing member. For our commercial, the only "props" that were required, were the AirPods Pro supplied by Aaron, and an iPhone, one to be used in video, and the other to record the video. Although, we did get some of the scenes completed, I feel as if we could redo them, with more allotted time, and perfect it, for example, one scene had some dialogue, from a third-party. There is still much to be done, and we have the time to do it. For now, I will begin to put some of the clips together, and work on editing it for the final.

Final Edit Markups

 Today I finished editing my video and produced the final product. The whole process took me about and hour, close to an hour and a half. Honestly, editing comes really easy to me, and its like my creative mind is always on 4 cylinders. Once we filmed on Tuesday, I came home with about 10 more clips, to add to my original amount. Since we had about 45-50 seconds on hand, there would not be much more editing for me to do. One idea we had in mind was to have Juan and Keith do a flip. The flip would transition between each other, and both landings would show in the span of 6-7 seconds. This was sort of difficult as I had to cut in between both clips, and keep adding it back to readjust and make sure the exact frame matched up to make it look at smooth as possible. Once I added these couple of seconds, I moved on to the next clip. The next clip was me and Fahim embracing one another, then slowly falling apart. This clip was quite easy to edit, all I had to do was cut out the part befor...

My Commercial

Image
 This was my first **big** project in this class, and I REALLY enjoyed it. I have never made anything like this in my life and I was able to have alot of fun with it. I was always told this class wasn’t the hardest and a fun class for the most part, and I can agree. There are things we definitely could have improved on, but I believe within the given time span we did a great job. This was a great start for a great year of awesome things to come to fruition. I have heard about a music video and it sounds like a lot of fun. I have ideas planned already, that I can do for my next project. I look forward to my next submission, one of many!  https://youtu.be/AoTVtypWyCM

  Slide 1: In this slide we are going to shoot our introduction where we show the actor opening his phone and going to play a song on his AirPods Pro. He is going to pull out his phone, unlock it, and then proceed to go to a music app to begin to play a song. The type of shot in this slide is going to be a POV shot. This is to express to the viewer the same thing the actor is seeing. Slide 2: During this slide, the main actor is beginning to walk straight forward showing off the AirPods Pro in his ears. This is to show how the AirPods are comfortable to wear and stay in your ears. The type of shot that is going to be during this scene is going to be a medium shot to show off the actor walking. During this shot the audio will match the audio that the main actor is listening to with his airpods.  Slide 3: This slide is to represent the noise cancellation feature of the AirPods Pro. So, we will have someone call the main actors name to try and get their attention but they will no...
