Going to 7-11

Going to 7-11

On the Friday the 3rd, I filmed more scenes for my music video. I started out at my friends house, invited all my group members to come. As the director, I again supplied the camera, and recording equipment. In this scene we were going to film, we needed to head to the gas station. We had a lot of different ideas in mind, we then decided to shoot a couple videos at 7-11, a popular place for Rap music videos. My friends and I called our friend that has a neat car. He agreed to come, and we headed to the gas station. We first started off my trying to get some close up shots of our actors with our specifically picked out outfits on. We recorded 3 takes of the first close up scene. We did not have a speaker to play the music and get a feel for the song, so we had to walk all the way back to the house to get one. Once we got back, We then decided to take a long shot of walking into 7-11, my partner who was recording got in a low angle to show case the light in a very neat way. We then decided to record a small clip in the 7-11 of a popular drink within the rap community. I started by letting the camera get a pan shot, following me through the isles. Several Takes and redo's later, we finished filming. We then decided to take some videos of the car driving away, in a tracking shot. My group members and extras realized the area was quite dark and needed more light. We then headed back to the house and got a special that illuminates the area very well. After all the takes and redo's, I had finally felt satisfied with that days recordings. We then headed back to the house reviewed all the clips and decided to choose the best ones.

                                                 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

                                    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...
