Get to know the crew

Filming alone is a challenging thing to do. It is crucial that if you're working in a group, you have qualified members that are able to handle the same amount of work as you. Each person must have a similar workload to make it easier on the group as a whole. A positive mindset is also key to getting everything to workout just as you may want. Anyways, lets get into who I actually get to work with in this project. 2 of my group members remained the same as the last projects. These are Elton and Luke who have been my good friends since 7th grade. The additional person is Sarah. I have also known her since 7th grade, which makes the entire group that much more reliable. Watching each person's personalities grow on their own, amazing ways helped me decide who to work with. Elton is one of the most determined and hard-working people that I have ever met. When he wants to do something he puts it to his head and gets it done. He does not waste time and for example he is very on track with due dates and times. The next member part of my group is Luke. He is quite unique, and has a certain passion for movies. Due to the fact that he likes movies, it also helps his work ethic with this class, since it's practically all about movies. Luke is also pretty quiet sometimes, but he gets his work done when needed. He has proven himself with that on the last 2 projects we did. I am very glad to be working with the same people I've been working with all year, however there is one person in our group I haven't mentioned yet. Lastly, we have Sarah in our group, She can be very helpful and creative in all aspects of the project. For little, additional, last minute tasks that are needed to be done, you can usually count on her for that. She is open to doing anything that will benefit our project, which is why I am glad she is working with us.

Editing Mess-up: Vertical vs. Horizontal

Image
 Hey, blog!  Film-making requires exacting attention to detail and a combination of technical skill and imagination. Our group recently had a setback in our endeavor to create a five-minute video, which taught us important lessons about how important it is to follow good film-making practices. Our error? filming in a vertical rather than a horizontal orientation—a seemingly insignificant mistake with serious consequences . We went into production with a strong screenplay and a distinct concept, initially full of energy. However, we discovered our camera misalignment throughout the editing process.   The vertical footage that is frequently seen in informal smartphone recordings presented difficulties for our career goals. It confused scenes and broke the flow of the story. The sudden changes in frames created the illusion of an incomplete rather than well-executed piece of work. We weren't happy with the result because the choppiness didn't go away even after we tried t...

The Research!

  My group is doing an Adidas commercial . In these commercials, the audience usually sees people taking part in physical activities such as soccer and ska teboarding or showing off different clothing pieces like shirts and pants.   They wear costumes such as Adidas sweat bands , shoes , shirts, and pants.   Props include Adidas gear such as soccer balls and anything else sporty.   Their appearance is usually in shape and active. They are usually seen physically pushing themselves as hard as possible .   The score through the commercials is popular , serotonin inducing songs that make the commercial more relatable to the audience.   Conventions and codes in Adidas commercials include the three-stripe mountain and their “ Impossible is Nothing” slogan . The  recognizable logo represents a mountain, pointing   towards challenges and goals people need to overc ome.   In the commercial the people, specifically their costumes, ...
