I did film some extra scenes that weren't in my original storyboard as well as the scenes I've recorded so far. The reason I have not finished recording is that I require a location that is not currently accessable to me. That location will only be available in a week. So I am recording what I can, including additional scene to make sure that I'm not missing anything when I leave this location. Due to my current location, many scenes involved cold temperatures and snow. Sometimes the temperature dropped, sometimes we fell, particularly with recent footage, and other times we had to improvise. Finding the materials sometimes required some searching and sometimes different locations were better for certain scenes than others. We did not record any main storyboard footage since last time but I did record some extra footage. This took place at a new location and I did not originally intend to record footage there. So far I have not officially made any changes to the script or storyboard; however, I do have extra footage. This is from various locations and impulse moments. I may choose to include these or replace other scenes with them. It depends on the time constraint as well as unseen factors involving unrecorded scenes. I do not plan on changing actors as there are few characters and recording has begun. The sole exception would be in the case of an emergency. So far I have not encountered any problems. If my actors are suddenly unavailable that may slow my filming process. Weather, COVID and some additional factors also have to be considered due to their impact of filming. For music, I plan on using royalty free songs. I have yet to decide which song to choose but I have some ideas as to what I want. I have not begin the editing process so there have not been any problems with anything involving footage or overlay.

Research blog: Humira

    I plan on shooting a medicine commercial, specifically for Humira. Humira is the brand name for an immunosuppressive drug called Adalimumab. It is used to treat arthritis, plaque psoriasis, ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis. The commercials for this brand, as well as many of the brands in this industry, strongly imply that taking this medication improves quality of life and personal relationships. This occurs through the suppresses or minimization of symptoms of the illness or condition.  The commercials use a wide variety of actors without specification towards race, age, gender, or any other physical determination. Actors tend to be able bodied and relatively attractive. Many of these commercials attempt to be diverse in order to appeal to a wider audience. The costumes may include but are not limited to casual wear, sports wear, formal attire, and lounge wear. Props vary by scene but often include comfort items like food, blankets, a...

CCR Question 4: Navier

How would your final task be distributed as a real media text? I believe the most influential marketing tool is social media. As action movies are typically focused on a younger audience, I believe popular social platforms will be the most effective advertisements. Of course, other methods of marketing would be used; however social media would be the priority as its influence has risen in recent years. Sharing the trailer of my film on platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok could be influential in terms of viewer turn out. Its important to focus the marketing to the right people, otherwise its simply money wasted. And social media is filled with an accurate target audience. Short clips with intense visual impact are most effective in drawing in viewers. The attention span of modern society is dropping so the first few seconds of a clip should be high impact. Another aspect of social media marketing is the cost, or lack of therefore. In essence, it’s free way to raise awarenes...

CCR: Music Video

Image
The song used in this music video is called Hey, Soul Sister, and was created by an American rock band, Train. It was released as part of the band's fifth studio album, Save Me, San Fransisco in 2009. The song was written by singer Patrick Monahan and is a tribute to their hometown and "the group's folk-rock roots". The song has since sold over 6 million copies, reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100, and won a Grammy as well as a Billboard Music Award. 1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? This song is classified as a mid-tempo pop-rock song but it doesn't match typical lyrical and melodical norms for this genre. It was written in the key, E Major, and moves at 97 bpm. The song has a signature pattern of ukulele, something fairly uncommon in pop. Most songs within this musical style are more aggressive and quick-paced but Hey, Soul Sister uses some more country/folk influence. It ...
