Finalizing our Film Details

     My partner and I discussed Ideas for the filming location and costumes. We had a long conversation about locations we would film at. For our movie there are significant setting change and we needed to make sure we picked the best location that would work for us. We also needed to work out costumes because we would have to change outfits. Although we discussed these details before they are subject to change before the completion of the film. The circumstances change often and we have to maneuver our plans to work with what might happen. I need to make sure that our filming process runs smoothly. The main setting of our filming will take place at an office setting. Filming is subject to start in approximately 2 weeks. We will film the video in a two day window. Day 1 is essential because we film majority of the film while sorting out possible issues in the film. We need to also make sure we follow safety protocols for covid to ensure our safety. Filming should be a fun, enjoyable process. The second day of filming will take place at a park because this is the outdoors setting of our film. The films title is "Workplace Olympics" and this is the "olympics" element as we will be completing an obstacle course. During day 2 the covid procedures should be easier to follow because we will be in an outdoor setting. Even though it would be easier we still need to make sure we take enough precaution. The actual filming will take place in two days but that is not the end of our work. We will eventually have to edit the movie using iMovie because that is the most reliable software for us. In the end we are very excited for this experience and hope all goes well.

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...
