Finishing filming and the overall filming process

    Hello! The last scene we filmed for our project was scene 9. This scene was the one in which the girl arrives at the kitchen, takes out food, drops it and then finds the note under the fridge. This was the same day the scene from the previous blog was filmed, so I was not present for the filming of this scene either. However, I'm aware of everything, as we talked afterwards and they caught me up with what happened.
    One of the things we had to change was one of our props. we had at first planned to use carrots as the food that fell under the fridge, but unfortunately, by the time, we filmed those had run out. However, this was not an issue as pretty much any food small enough to go under the fridge would work. We decided to use small oyster crackers instead. We also had to change some of the shots. for example, we had planned out to have two different shots in the beginning, but we knew the film would end up being too long so it would be best to condense them into one. We also wanted to include a pan shot, so in the beginning, we added a pan shot to shot the kitchen. We also changed some of the other shots and angles, but it was nothing major.
    Overall, I really enjoyed the filming process. I learned many things, like for example that acting is harder than I thought it would be, and that I am unfortunately not the best actor but it was still very fun. We had to retake a lot of shots which I anticipated to be annoying, but it was actually one of the best parts of the process, as the reason why we had to retake the shots was that we couldn't stop laughing. After finishing filming, I'm very glad I picked the teammates I did, because they are very hardworking and easy to work with, and we were able to finish filming this project weeks before the due date. All we have left to do is edit the film and we will be done. We have already started talking about sound and have started editing, so I think we will be done pretty soon. I'm excited to edit since this is my favourite part, and I cant wait to see the end product!

Editing Blog: Adding Sound

Image
Hello! Over the past couple of days, my team and I have been meeting to discuss and add sound to our project.  I thought this would be one of the easiest parts of the process, but I was very wrong. I think this has been one of the hardest aspects of creating our video. We didn't think it would take longer, so we all met on google meets one day like we usually do, and started thinking about which music to use. We all started looking through youtube to find copyright-free sounds we could use, but after about half an hour ago, we realized it was useless. We could only go through one sound at a time since we were doing it together, and it was taking a very long time. We decided this was not a good idea, and that instead of going through sounds together, we should go through sounds separately, pick our favorites and then we could go through the few ones we compiled together. The next day before we met again, I went through many sounds and picked the 5 I liked the most, then put them all...

Creative Critical Reflection for Honey Nut Cheerios Commercial

Image
     While making my product, I used many food advertisement conventions, since my goal was to make a commercial for a Honey Nut Cheerios, which is a cereal brand. While doing my research, I found out that one of the conventions they use the most is having families or kids in their advertisements. This is because cereal brands like Cheerios' customers are mainly women older than 40 years old with families. Including families in their commercials help them stir feelings and appeal to their demographic. Because of this, I decided to include a family in my commercial too.      Also, I had a mom and her two kids together, and throughout the commercial, they have a conflict over the cheerios. This was one way my commercial challenged conventions. Usually, cereal commercials have kids or families playing together, instead of fighting. I had the kids argue over the box of cheerios and then at the end, they resolved it and happily ate the cereal together.  ...

Introduction to the Music Video Project

Image
     Today I started the process of producing the music video project. For this project, I decided to work with 3 of my friends who are also taking the media studies class. These are Abigail Koppel, Ashlyn Young and Jessica Guerra.     I chose to work with a group so I would be able to split the amount of work with someone. I chose these people because I have previous experience working with them. At first, I was planning to do it with only one person, but then we all talked about it and decided to work together. We've known each other for years and have worked in many group projects together, so I already know what to expect.  I'm more comfortable working with them since I know they will all work hard and we will end up with a high-quality product. I know they will all contribute to the project and they are all good at meeting deadlines and turning work in on time. I also already know we all work well together, so that won't be a problem. Lastly, I chose t...
