 Hey y’all! Figuring out what was supposed to be in my commercial was difficult. I know it's supposed to be easy since it's about myself, however it was a challenge. I want my commercial to have a theme that corresponds with my chaotic life. Which is why I made a list of ideas, crossed some out and finally narrowed it down. For my commercial, I want it to show all of the things that I do regularly throughout my life. I started researching on how some companies record their commercials. I searched and watched examples of how they record, what different angles they include, movements and background sounds. One of the commercials that I watched was from the Mountain Dew company. My favorite aspects of this commercial are the suspenseful music and the different shots used. In the commercial that I watched, they included different angles, a story plot to keep the audience interested, and a tracking shot. For my commercial, I know I want to include a tracking shot to show the action in my life and give off a busy affect for the audience. Also, I want to include a close-up shot, point of view shot and an over the shoulder shot. I feel like having different shots in your media allows the audience to see different perspectives and affect them in different ways. During the editing process, I do want to play around with different editing techniques. I want to try to include a split screen, fade in and out, and a dissolve. Now in my commercial, I want it to have more upbeat and fast paced music. Hopefully, that way the audience will feel the chaotic experience that I am trying to convey. I do not want to have any dialogue, but I might include it. I will be the main focus of the commercial; Although I want my commercial to include my friends, family, and other people I interact with on a daily.  For the setting, I know I want to record in all of the places that I attend regularly like school, church, dance practice, and volunteer places. I hope that you guys are excited because I cannot wait to start recording!

Title Research: Art of the Title Website

  Hey y'all! Today I will be analyzing and researching different title sequences for my final task. Title sequences are important for films because they set the tone for the film. These opening sequences usually set the mood that the director wants to convey to the audience. For this reason, I decided to research more on title sequences because this is very important and helpful. Instead of trying to watch a plethora of movies on different streaming platforms, I chose one website that can do it all. This website is called, "Art of the Title Website", and it allows myself to research different title sequences with ease. The 'Art of the Title Website' provides you with different genres, the website is free to use, and extremely easy to navigate. I decided from all of these reasons that this will be the website that I will be using to do my research. I can not wait to learn more about making a title sequence. Well, that is it for today!   Bye, Pookieess!

  Hey y'all! I have more information about my production process. Today the filming process was a lot harder than I thought. I was not able to record at one of the clubs that I attended but that was it. Now, my vision of revealing my busy life is starting to become more difficult than I imagined. However, I am going to keep advancing with my idea. My main goal for this production day was to take some relatable pictures for my commercial. First, I decided to take some pictures with my siblings. I snapped pictures with my siblings separately and together at a wide shot. The wide shot is a type of camera shot that completely shows a character or a group of characters within the frame. I decided to take wide and close up shots with my friends and other activities that I attended. I am not hundred percent certain on using all of these shots and pictures in my actual commercial. Which is why I can not wait to start editing to see the final results of my commercial. Additionally, I record...

  Hey y'all! Today I have decided to start my production process. I started planning out where and who I wanted to film with. Prior too, I knew that I wanted to film with my siblings and friends. My main focus was the type of angles and shots that I would record. During my planning and researching time, I created  some ideas to match my concept for this commercial. This commercial is supposed to display the chaotic perspective that I have of my life. Similar to a day in my life video. Which is why, I decided to record a tracking shot. The tracking shot follows a subject through a scene and reveals the scenery. One of the ideas that I decided to film, was myself running to class because I do not want to be tardy. I asked one of my friends to record me running or quickly walking to class. This scene was kind of hard to record since I actually did not want to be late to class. However, with filming this shot, I had to record multiple takes. My main desire for this shot was the ba...
