Filming Blog

 Today is March 28th, 2022. Today was first day of official filming. We met up at my house, Juan and Keith came at about the same time, and Alejandro came not 10 minutes later. Once they all came to my house we decided to start filming right away. We decided to start with a scene of Merlin waking up and there being no power. This part was easy, and then we transitioned into an emergency broadcast, this was in the past. Merlin then starts doing his daily routine and the vibes are obviously ominous. Then a high shot shows Merlin walking down and out of his house, looking at his watch, and the sky. He doesn't make it to far until he is confronted by a walker, the second variant. Its been about 2 years since the outbreak broke out, and it looks as if there is no one with Merlin. We had a problem with doing the high shot, as we did not have a drone to get up high. I suggested we get on my roof and film that way, as it gives a great view. This was easy to solve, and done without much difficulty. Another problem we came across was trying not to laugh in the different frames. Juan was the walker and Keith ended up being the runner. It was just difficult to film without one of us laughing, but multiple retakes solved the problem. I look forward to filming day two.

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

  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...
