1 change made from Review Blog


 Today is March 13, 2022. The last blog we did came at the cost of a film day. On that day we decided to film review and go over some other things from our storyboard and script. One major change we decided would be pivotal to set the stage of the movie would be removing the part of Merlin of having a brother. Removing the identity of the person who knocks at the door, makes the story more ominous. The reason to make it like this was simple. The main story was always meant to be mysterious, and leave the viewer with a cliffhanger. When not knowing who it is at the very end, the character has to make assumptions on who it could be knocking. This adds variety to the story because if this was a real short movie, people would come up with their own theories. Another reason we decided to remove this off the story blog, this part of the story was NOT apart of the script that was originally written by me (Monzur), and a mistake. Another positive part of removing a brother from the story, makes it easier for one actor to do all parts, and have other actors focus on their specific part. One person will film, one actor, and the other side actors. Juan disagreed and thought that we should keep the brother in the story. Juan said that adding the character would add spice to the story, and people can wonder about what they would do next. The rest of us agreed against it, because not knowing who it was, makes it better as then it just adds to the sense of mystery we all wished for.

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

 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

Storyboard Blog

  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...
