David's Gatorade Commercial Filming Shoot (Day 1)


 On Thursday September 30th, me and my partner Quincy starting filming our commercial for Gatorade at school. When we got to our media studies class we gathered our materials and storyboard to formulate how the shoot was going to play out. Once we decided what we were going to do, we went to Mrs. marchionne to receive a pass to leave class and go to the selected location we chose to film at on campus. The location we chose was the school track and field which was a 2 minute walk away from the classroom. Once we left the classroom with the pass, Quincy went to go change into his costume/ apparel and I started preparing my camera for the shots I was going to take. After, we started making our way towards the track and field to begin filming sections of the commercial for Gatorade. The forecast outside on this day Extremely sunny with little clouds  which was pretty good for the light in the shoot. When we stepped on track, we greeted our classmates that were filming as well and got to our spot on the track to setup. Once we got settled, I told Quincy to get in his track stance so I could take a couple pictures from different angles for the beginning of the commercial. The shots that were taken was a high angle, low angle, shoulder level, and Overhead. After those pictures, I told Quincy to switch his stance into a set position so I could take pictures of him in that stance and record him taking off. The video took us a couple of minutes to get down because of the clouds covering the sun and ruining the light in the video but, eventually we were able to finish them. After this I continue to take videos of Quincy's take off into a full stride for the beginning of the film. Once finalized, Quincy went into the garage and got the hurdles for our next scene which involves him jumping over them while being in full stride. When we got the hurdles in the right position, I had to wait a few minutes to film it because my friend Quincy hasn't jumped over hurdles in over a year so it took a minute for him to adjust to the activity but, eventually he got comfortable again to do it consistently. Once he got comfortable we took a couple videos from different angles of him jumping over the hurdles. Immediately after this, we worked on the finish which involved him jogging and exaggerating a finish a if he was tired to present the need for the Gatorade beverage after. Unfortunately we didn't have a bottle of Gatorade at the time of filming, so we decided to film that scene the next time we go film which is on Monday October 4. Lastly when we were done filming me and Quincy gathered up to decipher from the options of videos and pictures to apply in the commercial and we did a very good job and I'm happy everything went well with no errors. After this, we gathered up our props and went back to class to get ready for our next period to finalize a great day of filming.

“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...
