        Today was the day me and my group finally started filming our commercial for the Arizona drink. Since I was one of the actors in the commercial, I had to change into the proper outfit that we had planned. I wore a yellow top and black shorts to show that it was near summer and that the weather was hot. I had on earrings that were in the form of a baby. They were cute but I had to take them off so there wouldn’t be any distractions in the ad. We ended up having to go to the bleachers by the baseball field because of the position of the sun. It wasn't aligned with where Nicole and I were originally going to sit. Instead, it was behind us, casting a shadow on our face. We moved our things to the baseball bleachers and got ready to shoot our commercial. I went over our lines, fixed my hair, and did any last-minute touchups before I began filming. We used a spray bottle to spray water on the Arizona cans, to make them look cold and refreshing. It took a fe...

Hello there! Today we started and completed our storyboard. After much deliberation and (civil) argumentation over the proposal of our ideas, we decided that our commercial will follow the format found below: Scene 1:  In Scene 1, the camera will pan downwards from the sun, located at the highest point in the sky, creating an establishing shot, and being used to show just how unbearably hot it is outside during the afternoon. This camera movement will take roughly three seconds to execute. During this time, a diegetic sound of cicadas chirping will be playing, which will allow us to not only set the scene, but also the time of year before the actual dialogue even begins, being that cicadas only come out during the early summer months. That, in turn, will allow for time, which would have been used to create an exposition, to be saved, whilst also immersing the audience into the commercial itself and catching their attention from the very beginning.  Scene 2: In Scene 2, panning...

  Commercial Research and Codes For the commercial project my group and I are doing an Arizona tea commercial. After I watched a few of the original Arizona commercials, I was able to notice the CLAMPS examples.  - The actors have casual/comfortable clothes.  - The setting is usually the store the Arizona drink is being sold. A shot of the customer grabbing the drink from the refrigerator at the place it's being sold.  - The people in the ad are shown happier after the drink is introduced. - The background music is chill and soft. As well as the sound of the can fizzing when they open the drink. - The only prop that is important is the can of the drink itself.  -  The color patterns used are bright colors on the screen. Different pops of colors. The code for Arizona commercials is showing the drink up close. Making the logo and can design visible for viewers to recognize the can. The Arizona logo is also shown on screen after the commercial plays.  

  Planning Blog Props       Since my group is doing the Arizona drink, the only prop we will use the most is the Arizona can. Along with any other insignificant items in the commercial. Costumes      Nicole and I will be the actors in the commercial. In the beginning of the commercial we will have comfy, chill outfits on. Once the Arizona can is introduced, we will change outfits into something more bold and eye catching to match our drink. This is to match the 'aesthetic' of the Arizona drink. Order First, my team will figure out how we want our commercial to be. We find out our exact setting, basic concept for the ad. Next, we find out how we want to film it and how. What supplies do we use, what angles and direction we film. After we have the footage, we edit our video to fit our standards. We add the music, any transitions, on screen text, and more. Locations and Ideas The few locations we will film on is the Senior Patio, the track field, and...
