Props: Since as a group we decided to work on an apple

commercial, our main prop will be apple products. Other

props we will include will be bags and school supplies.

Costumes: In our commercial we will have 2 different

costumes for each actor. The first costume will be a casual

outfit, something that people would wear to school. The

second costume will consist of athletic clothing. Something

along the lines of a tank top or a cotton t-shirt and athletic

shorts or athletic tights.

Schedule: 11/22/21, our group researched and planned the

apple commercial

11/24/21, our group will create the storyboard for the

commercial

11/28/21, our group will film and record necessary shots

11/30/21, our group will edit and add final touches to the commercial 


Location List: Our first few shots will be in the classroom or senior patio. Here we will record our actor messing around in the class before dashing off as the belle rings for schools end This will get us to be able to show off the airpods and MacBook as necessary items for class. Our next and last location will be outside on the track. At this location we will film our actor(s) finishing up a run with their airpods in and checking out their watch. Also bumping into some friends on their phone. This will help us show that apple products can also apple products can also be used by an athlete. Backup Plan: If the weather is not as expected, then, our track location will be changed to the large stairs of building 5. There we will still be doing exercises however it will more than likely be running/jumping up the stairs. If a member is absent on the day of filming one person in the group will film

Comparing Le Jetee, the short, and 12 Monkeys, the full-length movie

Image
 One thing that 12 Monkeys does is make it seem very dull on purpose. The short film uses a narrator with a very monotone voice to show this off. Also, the movie uses still images and adds voiceovers or other sounds to them after. This once again achieves the same goal, being to make the film detached. Le Jetee uses certain transitions to acquire a "dream-like ambiance" which helps to contrast the clean shots when characters are conversing. The film also uses audio to great effect and adds it a lot of important and disturbing imagery to amplify the visuals. An example used for this is the audio of a heart beating for a dramatic and intense scene. This helps the audience feel the intensity of the pictures being shown as if their own heart was racing. Another example of this is a slick and romantic score for a positive effect on the audience, once again enhancing the images. One thing the short film does is dip into multiple genres which makes the film more diverse and appealin...

Editing for Short Film Begins

Image
 Today we will be starting editing for the short film. Editing begins with software to make changes to the scenes we shot. While I am not experienced in editing, I can still give advice and recommendations on edits. Also, I can discuss what I want to see being edited in the film. Besides that, my group did the editing itself. Due to this, I will be discussing what they did and how I am involved. First of all, my groupmates who edited have experience in editing. This was the reason why they edited the film rather than me. Also, they have experience in different software for editing. Despite this, we ended up staying primarily with iMovie. I suggested iMovie for many reasons. The main reason to use iMovie is that it's free, allowing it to be an affordable option for all. It's also accessible on all devices. iMovie can be found on laptops, phones, and tablets. This makes iMovie the obvious choice for editing the short film. iPhone also has good editing tools in itself, allowing a ...

Production For My Short Film Continues

Image
I'm back to filming! This time we continued filming in the mall. It was the same location as last time as we were familiar with it already. We needed to be more careful with the scheduling of our filming this time. The filming location was a mall but unfortunately, it closed before we could get further into production. This filming day was different as we got to continue and further develop our short film. Before leaving my house, I checked the hours of the mall closing time to ensure the same mistake would not be repeated twice. I set a specific time for everyone to arrive at the location to film but we all arrived a bit later than intended. Luckily, this was barely a setback for us and we started right away. Because we chose to film on a weekday after school, the mall didn't have as many people as it would've on another day. While filming, I said my lines and acted out the scenes to the best of my ability. I messed up a few times and we needed to redo a few scenes until I...
