Filming 2 Media Studies

                                Filming 2

For the second filming day of the project I was given class time. My group of now Ethan, Fahim, and myself try and go look for good spots to film. We are given passes and are aloud to film on school campus. We grab the camera and start walking around. Our first goal was to establish some walk away shots with the bag. This is essentially a shot where a the actor has his/her back towards the camera and walks away from the camera. We took some shots outside near the field and in the gym. We eventually settled on a spot right in front of the cafeteria. The first actor to be recorded was Ethan, he took 3 shots of him walking away from the camera with the bag. Then Fahim my other group member took a couple shots with the same pose and camera angle. We then looked for other spots and other cool ways to film the bag. The second shot I took was a shot where I placed the bag on a surface. I then faced the camera down looking down at the bag. I pressed record and dropped down on to the bag from a higher up distance. Once I dropped down, I let the camera focus on the North-Face logo. we then walked around and looked for other potential clips. It started to rain so we decided to go inside. We hitting our limit on the amount of clips that we could add to the commercial anyways. Once we got inside we wasted no time to upload the videos and start working on them. We thought the clips we had taken were sufficient and good looking and decided that it was now time for editing.

Research Media Studies

                                                 Blog For this commercial Fahim (my group member) and I would like to research and develop a commercial for a North Face backpack. My group members and I have been looking at the specific ways North Face advertises their products to the consumers. We think they take an interesting logos approach to their advertisements to attract the reader into the idea that they would want to buy a north face backpack. The endurance and sleekness of the bag is usually the selling point. North face has become a sort of classic and luxurious brand with most of their lines clothing and accessories. Meaning that most of their commercials are appealing to individuals who can afford an expensive backpack. Our approach will try to be professional and straight to the point of a sleek backpack that would pop with your outfit. Most of the co...

Film review

For my film review, I feel like I have made good progress on the film. My group members and I tried very hard to create something that met all the necessary requirements. Looking back at my film production we had several redo's in order to try to make the film very visually appealing. We tried to focus our attention on our storyline and planning for the film. That was one of the biggest parts of creating the film. The essential steps and props and planning were absurd. I could only begin to imagine what creating a 2 hour or so film. I feel as though we did not film up to the full expectation. when filming we decided not to film some of the scenes because we ran out of time and wanted to start editing. The time that it took to film the correct camera angles and set up the shots was grueling. This was especially because I had work that night and it was a weekend. In the film, my group and I really looked to create something unique. When planning our story line we tries to keep away f...

Editing 1 Media Studies

Image
                                    Editing 1  The first day of editing the commercial, I was at my house. I decided to edit the light and color features of the first clip of the North-face bag. In this clip I focused on keeping it concise and straight to the point of the bag, so you can see exactly what we are advertising. I had to leave some of the clip out due to this reason. When I was editing the light of this clip, I decided to keep the whites very bright and shadows dark and consistent. This gives the bag a glossier and fancier look. I then changed the Hue of the clip to be more of a dark blue color. To give the artic feel for what the bag was trying to achieve. I decided that this clip was first because I felt it was a good introduction to the product. I then had an idea to add a camera flash sound affect at the beginning because I thought that the first clip was too subtle. This intro...
