AICE Media Studies

  This is my video! I have learned many new things in the production and am excited to start the new project.

 1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? Our product challenges conventions due to me (the main actor), being of a specific descent, Native American. In the film industry it is not common for actors of Native American descent to achieve social representation.  2. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text? Our product engages with the audience by using an actor that would be relatable for the main audience as the age groups are compatible. Our product would be distributed as real media text through online ads. 3. How did your production skills develop throughout this project? Before I started this project I was completely oblivious to anything in the production aspect. While filming, acting, and editing throughout this project I was constantly learning new things. 4. How did you integrate technologies - software, hardware and online - in this project? I integr...

 One of my group members had personal restrictions on the original film date. Instead of filming on the original date, the 8th, my group filmed on the 9th. I enjoyed filming a lot. I was the "actor", being the main point in the commercial. Elton was in charge of holding the camera and filming. During filming it was raining. I believe the rain made the commercial even better. Due to the rain, Elton brought an umbrella. Luke's main job was to be a director. He had the ideas for most of the shots in the commercial. Luke also carried the umbrella over the camera. This was to insure that no water got onto the lens, affecting the quality. The first shot was extremely easy to film. It was a low angle of me tying my Adidas shoes. We also filmed several shots of me shooting the soccer ball into the goal. During the shots of me shooting the ball, elton acted as a goalie to add realness to the commercial. Overall, we filmed clips of me pushing the ball up to the goal and doing some ...

 My team has not started filming yet. This is due to the recent hurricane that hit florida. My group planned on shooting last week but have since moved the filim date. We will be filming Saturday the 8th. We will be filming the commercial at Holiday park. I am extremely excited to film our commercial. My group members also share this excitement. Transportation to Holiday park will not be a problem for me. I live around 5 minutes away and will skateboard there at the set time of filming. My group has planned on filming at 12:30 am. This is due to the fact that it will be sunny and we will not have to worry about lighting. The park also gets busy in the afternoon, so going early will give us free space. In our commercial I will be the "actor"in the group. My other team members will be the ones filming and editing the commercial. I believe that that is a fair way to distribute the work. We have already made our plans for every different shot. I have always wondered how commercia...
