 Our film Nightmare, takes place in a post apocalyptic time frame and is about the story of a boy who wakes up to a world where nothing is right, and everything is a Nightmare. The setting is gloomy and ominous, as such we decided to go for a theme that would be considered eerie, and make the viewer uncomfortable in a sense. Obviously we don't have the talent or capability to make our own theme song, so we decided to look at movies or shows that were already well established. I think its clear that one of the most popular piece of entertainment that comes to anyone's mind when thinking about this sort of genre, is the Walking Dead. Its evident that this show has something that not a lot
of other shows or movies had, thus it has had such a long run time. The choices of music in the show in the different scenes makes it perfect. Although, it can be argued some seasons were not up to par, the theme song playing throughout every scene just gave a ominous, eerie feeling to it. I emailed the composer Bear McCreary a couple of weeks ago, but unfortunately we still never got a response. Nevertheless, there is no reason to dwell on things we have no control over. I started looking at some other movies, like the theme of 28 Days Later. I believe great digenetic sound can really be a make or break for many movies and shows. If all else fails, its very much reasonable to look at royalty free music. We do not need any license to get the rights to use royalty free music, as the composer themselves made it so we do not have to make sure we can get permission before we use it.

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...
