David’s Gatorade Commercial Filming Blog (Part 2)

On October 4th, Monday me and my partner Quincey got ready to film our second shoot for our commercial. As we walked into class we greeted each other and listened to our instructor give the class directions for what was going on today. After this, me and Quincy gathered our materials and grabbed a pass from our teacher to exit class and go to the track to film. Quincy was already in the Apparel need for the commercial so we didn't waste time having to change and we proceeded to the track and field. Once we got to the track, I took of my precious shoes that were white so they wouldn’t get dirty and put on my work shoes along with Quincy to get the best shots and videos possible for maximum results. The first thing we did was bring out the hurdles again so we could retake those shots we did last week and improve certain areas of it so it could be better on film. As Quincy went to jump over the hurdles, I positioned my self the best way possible to film the right angle we wanted of the scene taking place. After the hurdle shots, we moved over to redo the finish of the race scene at the end of the track. We realized that the end of the track was kind of shady lacking sunlight so we had to switch the lanes over a little so we could get the maximum of sunlight for the recording of the finish. Once we got in position I told Quincy when it was time to sprint to the end of the pylon as I was positioned on top of a chair to get the best high angle of the finish unlike last time for the shoot last week. After we took a couple videos we decided which ones we were going to keep and delete out of the 5 takes we took. Sincerely after this, we decided to take the pictures of the time of tiredness after the race and the actor being exhausted looking for a ice ,cold ,recharge beverage which is the gatorade. We took lots of pictures from this scene and we really loved them and Quincey was so excited he wanted to post them on his instagram page so I sent them to his iphone. After this, we took a video of the actor taking a sip of the gatorade to cure his thrust to seal the commercial and it went amazing. The angles taken were perfect and spot on. We cant wait to put all  these clips together to make this masterpiece were creating. After we were done filming, it was 17 minutes until our bell for the next period came. We gathered all of our props, put back the hurdles, and packed our bags so we could return our pass for class and get ready for period 4.

“The Kill” Review changes

 When I think back on the film we made, I'm pleased with it. Making it was the most enjoyable experience I've ever had. It was a lot of fun gathering supplies and equipment for it. For the gruesome scene when the murder occurred, I had to go to Walmart and buy a knife and ketchup. People at the store thought I was insane because a knife and a bottle of ketchup are an unusual combination of items to purchase. I had to explain to those people that it was for a movie, and once they realized the overall picture, they were no longer interested. In the spring, my partner Quincy Esta had a lot going on in his life from Track and Field season to Aice coursework, which took a mental toll on him and continues to do so. We simply needed to pick a date and time that worked for both of us so that we could get this film arranged and completed within the time frame allotted. We had to postpone filming dates due to weather and rehearsals at first, but the good news is that we made it work. We ...

Thee Music Video

  As of December 12 Sunday, the music video is finally completed. Me and my partner has finalized all the videos  recorded and transform all of them into one big video. The song chosen was a Hip Hop song made by Bow Wow called “Basketball”. This video includes clips of dribbling, dancing and shooting which is the main components of basketball as well as an music video. The editing app chosen to edit this video was iMovie. iMovie is a great app that allows users to create almost whatever they want to form the video they dreamed of and worked for. It took me 30 min to edit everything and put everything i wanted on there and the right time slots. The clips I inserted all correlate to what I put on the storyboard which was made November 18th in class. It was hard to put the song on the video thru iMovie because of the copyright issue. When I seen this happen, I called my sister who is familiar with the system so she could help me put the song on there. We had to download another a...

Editing film process

Image
After the conclusion of me filming the project, it was finally time to edit it. I opened up my ipad scrolled down my gallery to like all of the takes that we too from the park so that i can put it all together. After I chose between all of the videos, I asked my partner which platform was the best to put the scenes together and make a video. In about 20 minutes he responded and suggested that iMovie would be the better option because of all the things they have on their app to utilize. Another reason was because we used the app to do our other project and it came out perfectly so its only right to use it again. Once we confirmed to use iMovie, I opened the app and a couple of options popped up about what i wanted to make. The options were to make a movie or trailer and i chose to create a trailer first. The reason why was because we wanted the opening to the film to be like a roundup to stir the minds of the individuals watching it so that they can become curious and eager to see the r...
