Critical Reflection Questions

 1. How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent in social group issues? 

For my film I did a Nike commercial which can go with many other themes of commercials since it's a sport branded product such as Gatorade adidas and under amor. These relate to mine because they are all brands that make sport items and clothing. I used close up angles and wide shot angles in my commercial to show my surroundings and to represent the Nike brand. These brands compete for who is better and for people to buy them this is why they would go against the other brands I did it outside because since it's a sports commercial its best to do it outside. Not all sports commercials are outside but I did mine out there since i was representing Nike cleats.

2. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text? 

I think this commercial could be played at any time of the day whether it be on tv or YouTube because it is a commercial everyone can watch and enjoy. But I also think it would be best to put this commercial mostly after 3 because that's when most people out of work and teens are out of school. This is will make more people watch people watch it since they won't be as busy. Since more people will be watching it, it will make them buy it more. Not only will this commercial have a story connected to it but because of that people will be more interested in it. 

3. How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

This was the first ever commercial I've done and the first filming project too. Before filming this I felt nervous about it since this was my first film but, I think I didn't do that bad. I felt accomplished finishing this film and now I won't be as nervous with my next film. I wasn't really familiar to much with editing either so my edits weren't as good as I wanted them to be but I learned that the editing software I was using wasn't the best and I know will start to find a new one. For my first editing film I think I didn't do bad I feel good with what I did for my first time and I will keep improving. 

4. How did you integrate technologies-software, hardware and online-in this project?

At the beginning of this film, I always planning on using iMovie since I have a Mac but I changed my mind. I changed my mind because my friend that helped me film recommended be an editing software that he said was easier to use then iMovie. He recommended me cute cut and I think I should've just used iMovie because I didn't really like cute cut it was simple but I didn't really like it I thought it was going to be better. I had to use google also because since I wasn't familiar with that editing software didn't know how to extract the commercial from cute cut and post it on YouTube in order to embed it.

Genre Research: Thriller

Image
Thrillers will use any film aspect that emphasizes the suspense or excitement of the film. Some camera angles used in Thrillers are close-ups: which are typically used to show a character’s expression or reaction to an event, point of view shots: which engages the audience in the scene by putting them in the character’s position, high angles: which could symbolize looking down on a character in thrillers, and the opposite, low angles: which could portray the character as someone more powerful of superior. High Angle Low Angle Camera movements commonly noticed in thrillers include tracking, pans, and tilts. Tracking is used to build suspense. The camera follows a moving object or character and allows the audience to anticipate what the scene is leading to. Pans can be used to show a comparison between two or more characters, or just to show the scene’s setting more. Tilts are also used to showcase a setting, scene, or character. Tilts sometimes focus of one subject, and the camera moves...

Filming Blog

Sadly notice again we haven't been able to meet up this week. I sound like I'm making so many excuses and I hate it. You guys are tired of me talk about not being able to film all the time. I've only had one blog that was actually about filming so you can probably see how little free time we have in order to film. I also just remembered I have to go put gas in my car in order for me to take that longggg drive to Isabel's house in order to film. I'm happy at the moment though because tomorrow is my birthday so i'm excited about that. I asked for a book for my birthday from Warren Buffet. He's one of the wealthiest people in the world and I really want to become something big in the future. I want to get out of my 9-5 and be financially free and help others out. How great it would be to get my parents out of there jobs. My group is busy again like usual this week but I mean so am I. Isabel has games and practices like usual and I want to spend the weekend with...

Introduction To The Music Video Project

Image
I was given a music video project for my second one and I think it's going to be exciting. I think this one is going to be a little bit better than my commercial project because now I know how these filming project work for the most part. For this project I am working with my friend Liliana Rubio. Liliana has the same class as me and in the same period too. Since classes are all online, I don't know anyone else in my class other than her. I've known her since I was little, early elementary. She has been my friend ever since and that is one of the reasons I am working with her. Another reason I am working with her is because she lives really close to me. We both live next to the elementary we went to and that is good for this project so we can film together. The song we chose is called Don't You Worry Child by Swedish House Mafia. We took some time trying to pick out songs and which one would be better to use. At the beginning we wanted to use a Spanish song but then we ...
