AICE Media Studies Planning Blog

    The props that I will be using for my commercial are A box of Oreos and an Oreo cookie and some sort of table/stand. Since I am working individually, the commercial will include only the product. Since I decided that I am going to do an Oreo commercial, my main prop is an Oreo box. Another product that I will be using is an Oreo cookie itself. 

    In my commercial I won't be using any certain costumes/clothing. This is because I am working individually so I would like the commercial to focus more on the product itself. Also, I don't need any clothing for an Oreo commercial. The commercial will be mainly on the product. The product will be put on a stand or a table.  

    On 9/24 I will be researching conventions and codes of Oreo commercials.                                                On 9/27 I will establish the props being used and create a backup plan.                                                      On 9/29 I will create the storyboard for my 30 second commercial.                                                            On 10/1 I will film and record the necessary shots for my commercial.                                                      On 10/4 I will edit and add the final touches to my commercial.

    The main location for my commercial if I will be able to film at school will be outside the media center stairs. Outside the media center stairs, I will film most of the scenes for the commercial. I feel that this location is a good location to film at because there isn't too much or too little sunlight. The second location for my commercial will be somewhere close to the media center stairs or somewhere else outside. If I'm unable to film at school due to missing props or etc., I will film my commercial at home.

    The backup plan for my commercial will be to change locations if the weather is bad. I will change the location to a place that has cover or I change my location to film my commercial at home, so that I'll still be able to film and do my commercial.

Beginning of Editing

Image
    Today I started to edit my scenes for my commercial. To edit the scenes I used iMovie. Some of my scenes were filmed a few times so I will review and choose the best one. Then after choosing the best scenes, I will start to edit the scenes. I was looking at the length of each of my scenes and estimated how long my commercial will be. Some of the scenes need to be cut and merged with another scene.           I did research on how to edit/cut videos. I researched this so that I  know how to to cut and edit my scenes. Also, I searched up how to use iMovie since it is my first time using it for something. There was lots of information online on how to use iMovie and how to edit in general and the sources were very useful. I started editing my first scene and I tried to cut a second off the scene and merge it with my next scene. This required my editing to be precise because if I made a mistake, I would have to redo it.     I tried a...

Title Design Research: Action

   Title Design Research: Action Detective Pikachu: 1.How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? Lots of titles are shown in the opening sequence of the movie. The usual ones such as Director and assistant director are shown. Since the movie had many different visual effects there was an emphasis on that part of the crew, such as the visual effects director.  2.What connotations do the images carry? (how do you they make you feel) They bring about a sense of nostalgia, especially for those who have been pokemon fans for years. They are bright and colorful and appear to be alive.  3.How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you tell what genre the film is) The exact genre isn’t made too apparent but by watching a pokemon related movie one is to expect some kind of action going in.  4.What conventions are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? Well one of the...

Short Film Research: Proximity

  "Proximity" is a short film directed by Ryan Connolly and produced by Triune Films. The film falls into the action genre. Common Sound in the action genre: Sound is a crucial element in any film, and the action genre is no exception. Action films often use fast-paced, intense music and sound effects to match the high-energy action on screen. In "Proximity," the sound design is used to great effect, with the use of suspenseful music and sound effects adding to the tension of the film's action sequences. Common Mis-En-Scene in the action genre: Lighting, Action, Makeup, Performance, and Setting. These elements can all contribute to the overall look and feel of a film and can be used to help define a genre. In the action genre, these elements are often used to create a sense of excitement and intensity. In "Proximity," the costumes and production design are dirt and rugged, adding to the film's wretched aesthetic. The action sequences are well chore...
