    For the Nike commercial my plan is to take inspiration from the Nike commercials. I plan on getting footage from people just using Nike products. Showing off Nike shoes and clothing in action is going to be the main focus of the advertisement. Another thing I can show in the advertisement is close ups of the actors. In most Nike commercials there are shots that show a closer look at the expressions and sweat of the actor.

    One thing I will need for sure is Nike products. Nike shoes and clothing will be the main focus of the advertisement so it is very important to have Nike products. I can also bring sports equipment to show Nike shoes in action. I could possible bring a soccer ball, and have the actors score goals.

    For the location of filming I can film on the Track Field. The Track Field is a perfect spot to show Nike Products being used during sporting events. Another option for a location can be the soccer field. I can wide shots of students running in the grass. I could also have medium shots that show just the actor. As a backup plan I can film at any of the stairs in the school. The stairs can provide a good close up shot of the shoes being used. 

    The storyboard will be created on the 29th of September. The first day of filming will take place on October 1st. I plan on reviewing footage later in the day and preparing over the weekend. Then on October 5th I will shoot some final takes and compare them with the the other takes to see which are better. I will edit the commercial in Adobe Premiere Pro on October 7th. On October 11th I will make some final touches on the commercial and check if everything looks correct.

Reviewing the Film

    Me and my group worked over the weekend and edited and created a draft of our movie. We made this in order to show other people and get their unbiased opinion on the film. We each split up after editing and went to different people we knew in order to get their opinion on the film and what we should change.       I decided that I would show my video to a few of my friends from middle school to hear their opinion. I sent them a message over social media and they responded after about an hour of waiting. They said that they would love to review my movie in order to help with the project. I sent them the file and I patiently waited for their response.      20 minutes later and they sent a message to me with their criticism. One of the bigger criticisms they had with the film was the music didn't feel like it fit with the movie. They said that the almost rock genre music doesn't feel like it fits with the situation being shown.     ...

Editing the Film Based on the Critiques

    My group and I gathered all of our recommendations and critiques for the film into a google doc. In the doc we summarized the changes that we should make for the film. The most important change that we need to make is the look of the movie.      I met up with Rashawn after school to work on the project. Our goal for today's work on the project was to change the overall look of the film. The original filter on the film was meant to make the situation feel more tense. It is used often in other films to make the setting feel almost darker.      I suggested that maybe it was just the fact that the filter was too much. The effect looked good in other professional movies. But when we used it, it felt almost overpowering and too much. Rashawn and I changed the filter in Adobe Premiere Pro. With Premiere Pro there is an option for visual effects to change the opacity, color, and even saturation. Using these we changed the each individual shot in order...

Filming the Last Shots

Image
      Today my group and I had our final day of filming. I met up with my team members after school and we took the bus to Rashawn's house. When we arrived we went to his room and discussed the plan for the day. It was decided that we would follow our original storyboard and improvise if we needed to. I carried the equipment and we made our way to a park near Rashawn's house.     The park was the main location for filming. I would still play the main role of James, Rashawn was Kofi, and Hadar was the DE Agent. The first few shots were simple. I acted out the scene of James meeting Kofi at the park.       An issue that we experienced during the filming was the camera. I worked with Rashawn to set up the camera angles. The tripod that we had wasn't working correctly and fell over a few times. The camera ran out of battery after a few takes and we had to improvise. I took out my phone and we used it for filming.      Using my...
