Recording New Footage

Over the past several days, I've started to film additional footage. Some of the scenes are from the original storyboard. Like always, I've also recorded several additional scenes that may or may not be included. The inspiration for the additional scenes are spontaneous and completely improvised. They are only recorded because of an idea I get at a certain location due to details in my surroundings. I have altered several scenes from the storyboard slightly as well. For example, I have recorded a scene from a new perspective that lends context to preexisting scenes. The main reason I have been filming new/additional scenes is to insure I have enough footage to make the 2 minute marker. I belive I will have attended that time at the end of the filming process. When I filmed, I wanted to make sure to use a few actors as possible to make filming as COVID friendly as possible. Therefore, the majority of the scenes in my final project only include the main actor. We moved between locations and even around each filming area to get all the shots. None of the locations have changed since over the last couple of days, but soon we will be moving to another one of the original locations. I am planning on using voiceover for most of the scenes involving dialogue to get better sound quality. My music choice still has not been decided. I'm considering using non-lyrical music but have not found what that i like yet. I will defiantly be using royalty free songs due to time constraints and potential failure. I plan on choosing music after reviewing all my footage at the end of the filming process. I'm really looking forward to editing. This project has been the longest in terms of filming time. I usually film all the footage within a week but with this project filming has been over 4 to 5 weeks. Because of this, I'm really excited to see the result after editing.

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 ...
