Planning for our Music Video

Title-

The title of the song we are doing is "Walking on Sunshine". The genre this song is classified under is pop rock.  

Props-

In our commercial we will utilize a cell phone for our main prop. In our music video we want to maintain some of the conventions. We might also use things such as Frisbees, slides and swings at the park in our video also.

Costume-

To mimic the style of the music video we will be dressed in very casual clothing. We will also be wearing colorful wigs. We hope that the wigs will give our commercial a unique new style and hopefully get the viewers to smile. The costumes can also add a happy effect that our story might not get across. 


Schedule

We hope to knock out our filming in one day, preferably on a nice sunny day. If we cannot and we end up taking up more than a day, we can fix up a schedule that makes sure our filming days will be on weekends and in the afternoon. This is meant to be convenient towards all of us due to having school in the week. 


Location 

we based our location mostly on the title and lyrics of our song. With this in mind the location of our Music video will be at the park. Its out in the open, has lots of fun activities to choose from, and also allows us to have natural lighting. 

Backup Plan

If our schedule ends up not working we will then have to record at home. This will consist of us going outside our houses and recording ourselves dancing or just doing fun things. Frisbee is one of the few things we could try doing individually. We would then just edit the clips together and call it a "social distancing take on Walking on sunshine".  We'll then go on to describe how we overcame the obstacle of filming a successful music video while at home.

Editing for my Crocs Commercial

Image
 The editing process of my commercial was not too difficult. The total time it took to edit was about 30 minutes. I used iMovie to edit on my laptop and I begun my importing my footage onto my laptop. I organized the clips in the order I wanted the commercial to flow. I did not use all the clips I wanted to make sure I remained in the time limit. I watched all the footage back as I was editing to find the perfect clips to use for each part. For the parts of the commercial I did not want to use I cut the clip and merged the other pieces together. During the editing process I noticed that the time limit wasn't going over too much and I was on the right track. I wanted to add a little bit of calming music to the background of my video. In many Croc commercials there is a calm background music and I wanted to add that element to my commercial. I looked through all the sounds and music on iMovie and found a song fitting to the commercial. I then lowered the volume on the audio clip so i...

Planning Title Blog

Image
  The title of a film is very essential for various reasons.  After research  on various websites about titles and title sequences we were able to begin the process of deciding on a name. We kept in mind the information absorbed from those websites and integrated  that information into our final decision. The title of a film sets the mood for the film, gives overview, and allows the audience to create assumptions for the content.  We spent some time thinking about a movie tile that fits the content of our film. As of right now the title for our film is "The Workplace". We decided this title for our film based on a comedy series named "The Office". The comedy style in our film is very similar of "The Office". As stated before in previous blogs the movie is inspired from that show. We didn't want to steal the name of the show but to have some sort of resemblance. Naming the film with a synonym of office was the best decision. It allows us to use the same...

Filming for my Crocs Commercial

Image
     On Sunday November 1st I filmed my Crocs commercial. The person I originally wanted to film with was unable to come over and film so I just filmed with my mom instead.  During this process I directed the filming. I decided the positions my mother and I would stand in, and the dialogue we would use in the commercial. Before filming I cleared the yard of any signs that would get in the way of my video. I also played around with locations for the camera to sit to record. I gathered the football and soccer ball, the shoe box and crocs, and set up the camera in the front yard. I decided to film in the front yard of my house because I wanted to use the grass to play with the balls. This was the first option out of the two options I had for filming stated in my planning. The park would have been nice to film at as well but my front yard proved it self to be way more efficient. I filmed when the sun was out so there would be good natural lighting but also when it was no...
