Group Blog

 I have chosen to work in a group for this project. One member of my group is Lucas Hale-Florez. I chose him because I know I will be able to meet with him outside of school in case I need to record outside of school. I also know that he will be free to record on weekends or even after school. Another reason why I chose him is because I have spoken too and talked to Lucas for a long time now. And I also keep in touch with him on a regular basis whether on school or outside of school. The next member of my group is Robert Neagu. Robert is in my group because I recently made friends with him and he said he was decent at editing. So he will be working on that mostly. My next member of my group is Khamaree Jeudy.  Khamaree is one of my good friends and I have spoken to him for a while. I know I will always be in contact with him throughout the project. I also know that meeting with him won't be a problem. I chose these two as my group mates due to their work ethic. I know that they will assist in completing the project, and that they won't slack off. I also believe that they have different qualities such as editing or directing which could help split up the work. I chose to work with a group instead of by myself because I didn't want to do everything on my own. I felt that it would be a lot more work and wouldn't provide as good of an experience for my project overall. I feel as if with groupmates my work will be enhanced as we all put our capabilities to work. I also believe that with working in a group it will be a more enjoyable experience which won't make me feel stressed. These two people are those whom I trust will be engaged and help me complete my work. I am looking forward to starting my commercial making process.

Editing Blog: Music and fixing

Image
For the editing, I helped out a lot in the music portion. First, me and my group mates met on a call, and we began to discuss what we should add, or fix for the commercial. As I said, my portion was pretty much the music and fixing any bugs or glitches in the film. I had to make sure that the music would fit the overall theme and tone of the commercial. This ended up being a more intense and dramatic music to fit the commercial. I then had to make sure the music fit the overall pacing and different shots of the commercial. This way a really intense part of the music wouldn't play for just me doing something simple like setting up the ball. Other than this, I made sure that the music would cut off at certain moments where we needed the audio to be emphasized.  I also made sure that it fit within the time frame of the commercial and wouldn’t go over the time we needed. I sent my group mates around 3 different choices of music for the commercial. One of them being lighter and more upb...

Our Storyboard

  Scene 1:   The camera is looking down at the ground. The ground is bare, and there’s little movement.  Scene 2:   The camera shifts to show someone setting a soccer ball with their foot. The ball is placed carefully as the camera lingers on it for a moment.  Scene 3:   A close-up of player 1, who is visibly sweaty, emphasizes their exhaustion. Audio of player 1 breathing heavily plays in the background.  Scene 4:   The audio bridges into the next shot. The next shot is from player 1’s point of view, looking at the goalkeeper (player 2). This shot is at a Dutch angle, adding tension and unease. The camera's movement is unstable, mimicking player 1’s disoriented state. There are blurring effects to further emphasize that player 1 is dehydrated.  Scene 5:   An eye-level shot is taken from player 1’s side. A whistle blows, signaling a timeout. Player 1 is thrown a bottle of Gatorade from behind the camera. They cat...
