My Pitch

 Pitch #1:  Advertisement about shoes, multiple jump cuts of someone doing sports while wearing said shoes.  

Originally, I was more interested in filming this idea. I think that it would be a very high-quality production and would really stand out from the other commercials. I thought that the acting would be pretty simple, and that it wouldn't require as much speaking as the second pitch. However, I also believe that it needed more difficult shots which would be hard to get with a normal camera, and also, we might not have the equipment needed. This pitch was also more difficult on the editing portion, and we don't know if we have the skills required for it.


Pitch #2: Ad about sports drink: A boy got done with a sport of choice and he is tired and dehydrated, and then drinks a sports hydration drink to feel better hydrated and recover.

After the conversation, I became more interested in filming this idea about the sports drink. Sport hydration drinks are relevant and growing more popular by the day. I also believe that it would be fun, and we could have an overall better experience doing this pitch. It also would be pretty easy to act out. Another thing is that this pitch is able to be done with the skills and equipment we have in our group. The editing isn't too complex, and the materials needed for the pitch are also very easy to get. Overall, I didn't really have a problem doing either pitch as I found both to be fun.


Conversation: 

At first, we were not sure which pitch we were going to go with. We considered many factors, such as the length of the advertisement and how we would format the ad. Arguments for pitch 1 were that the production quality would be higher, at the expense of higher difficulty. Members of the group proposed that pitch 2 would be a lot more efficient. As well as being less demanding for the editing portion.  


Decision: We decided to go with pitch 2, the ad about the boy that is tired from a sport, and then drinks the sport drink and feels rehydrated.

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...
