Planning Blog

 Hey again, so this blog will be split into different paragraphs rather than a long one just so you can see the format of the plan and not get lost along the way.

The Idea:

So the plan is to do a Nike commercial as you can tell by the research blog. I want to strike the audience with pathos like a Nike commercial would and I'll do this by showing two people who are struggling in their sports but trying everyday. I feel like this is something a lot of people can relate to. Failing at something but practicing until they reach their goal. 

Props:

Our main props will be Nike running shoes, and Nike Football Cleats, we'll need sports wear and googles as one of the characters in the team will be swimming. We'll have a helmet, slotted girdle, weights and a work out mat. We'll also be having a phone and two bags or duffle bags. There may be other things needed but for the most part these will be main props that I considered needed for filming. 

 Costumes:

The costumes for this project would mainly consist of sport wear. Things like shorts and a loose shirt and T-shirt. They'll of course need the product which would be the foot wear like running shoes and cleats. They'll also need pajamas because their will be a couple scenes of them getting out of bed starting the day. 

Schedule:

By October 23rd we have researched and planned the project. On October 25th we'll start filming. All shots would be filmed on that day. Editing will take place during that week and any extra shots will be filmed the next weekend on November 1st. Finishing touches will also be added that day and then publication. 

Our main location will be my apartment complex. It has a big yard that'll do for the football half of the commercial and a pool for the swimming half. These are going to be used to show the sports and where the characters will train themselves to reach their goal with the help of the Nike footwear. 

Back-up:

In case things don't go as planned because one of our main talents may not make it during film, I'll come in as their replacement. If the location or weather isn't available for the football scene we'll move to the secondary location which is a park. If the pool isn't available we'll just use the football scenes. The idea is to shoot at least one minute of footage in total 30 seconds football 30 seconds swimming and combine them but if one isn't able to be filmed we use the other.

-Sincerely, Angel

The In Between

 Hey guys, so for this blog I'll be talking about the week before our second day of filming on the 23rd. After filming on the first day we filled in Anya on everything that happened the first day and decided that we would film again on the 23rd. Leading up to that date Daniellla had helped me get access to Adobe Premeire Pro so I can begin editing. She also uploaded all the videos we filmed on to google drive so we can have easy access to it. We took some videos and photos on Ben's phone and had those sent so we can get the different angles and bloopers. We decided the next steps were to figure out our location and plan for the second day of filming. Originally we thought it would be best to film the first two minutes of the film and get those out of the way. We also wanted to make sure that Anya was well enough to help us film so she we can get her scenes done. We weren't able to use Anya's house to film so we agreed on Danni's house. We were to film at the same ti...

Short Film Research: Tangles and Knots

  A sticky, intimate bond between mother and daughter becomes threatened when the mother helps her teenage daughter throw a party to impress new, popular friends. Sound: In the dialogue, there is no difference in how the mother and daughter speak to each other, speaking more like friends than mother and daughter. However, when the party starts, the mom begins interjecting herself into the daughter's conversations, teaching her how to take a jello shot and encouraging her to come into the pool. The added sound contributes to the setting, with dance music that helps bring the idea of it being a party altogether. This is made apparent when there is no dialogue and the daughter is just dancing, where all that can be heard is the music she's dancing to. There is no dialogue that needs to be understood or listened to, more so the viewer can focus on the daughter's awkward movements and how she feels in that moment. Mis-en-scene: The opening scenes work as a good introduction to ...

Planning for the next shoot

 Hey guys, so not much has changed since the last blog. My friend still has COVID and I don't see a time that we'll be able to film the final scenes yet. Fortunately he has gotten better but as far as safety is concerned I don't see a possibility for filming. My new plan for now is to begin editing. Since I filmed the scenes in chronological order I can begin preparing the first cut of the film. This will allow me to see if there are any scenes which may need to be reshot or if I'm missing any scenes that need to be filmed. At first my editing plan was to use Adobe Premiere Pro as I have for my previous projects, but the computer I was using can't handle the program and started malfunctioning. Right now the deadline is nearing and I've been stopped in my tracks due to my friend getting infected. I plan on doing one of two things in order to go around these problems of mine. First plan is to get through filming even with my actor being infected. To do that I will...
