E-Comm Commercial Project

 Commercial Project



Overview

    For this Commercial project my group decided to make a Snickers Commercial. Snickers commercials usually involve a main character, that faces a problem due to being "hungry", which is then fixed due to them eating a Snickers. This is the concept we attempted to recreate with our own Snickers commercial. 

Pre-Production

    The whole process of our commercial started with Pre-Production. We started with the story boards. For the story boards, we got a rough idea of what we wanted to do and put it into picture form with a sentence or two explaining what was happening. Next we created our script. For this project we wrote the script differently than normal, we did something similar to the story board, where we have a little imagine showing what happens in the shot, but we had speaking lines in the side instead of explaining what was going on. We also took this pre-production time to work on shooting locations and try and get in contact with actors for our commercial. 

My Role

My role in this project was Director, and Editor. I was essentially the leader of this project and helped make sure everything ran smoothly. I also took all the footage at the end and put it together in Premiere Pro. As the Director I had to use the five guarantees of E-Comm wisely to make sure everything went well. First off I had to use communication to make sure we all knew the film day, and who all could make it and work around everyone's schedules. I had to use collaboration to work with the Cinematographer (Logan Read) to help both of our ideas of what the commercial should be come together. I also had to use my technical skills of Premiere to make the project fit as well as it could together for the footage we had. For example I spent, at minimum, and hour just looking for the perfect song to use.

Changes

If I were to redo this project, I would focus even more on pre-production. I do feel like we did well on our pre-production process, however there were just too many possible situations that arose for use to plan for. First we had our original locations and actor change on use due to sudden on availability, then we had audio issues arise due to our rode mic, that we had no idea about until post-production, and it just seemed like everything that could've went wrong did. I would have loved to reshoot our commercial, and have better work to show then what we did as Senior capstone students, but we just didn't have enough time due to us being cancelled on. Overall I am happy with what we were able to make, due to all the problems that came up, but would have loved the opportunity to redo everything.

My house and Career Cruising

                                                               My Google Sketch Up House              In Ecomm we created houses in Google Sketch Up. We got plans too a house and recreated it Sketch Up.  It had too be over 500 Square Ft. and it took us over 3 weeks. Once we saved the plans we started building it. I started by measuring out the dimensions and making the base for my house. I then pulled the roof out of the block. I started making all the accessories to the the house like the windows and the porch and the doors. I added all the textures and the roofing and then my house was done.         On Career Cruising Animator and Graphic Design and Videographer were all part of my 10 career choices. These are all things that I would like to choose as a career. I prefer graphic design, then video followed by animation. This project would fit with these because it fits into the animation project.

Self Portrait Video

I chose to play Fortnite for my video because it represents me. I wanted to show other people that I had friends, since I played with Bartle2000. My work was inspired by Cole Bartley playing rocket league because I knew I could make a better video then him so I did. Cole's video didn't show the  whole screen so I worked to make sure I got the best angle I could have gotten.        Since we could only use our phones to record I had to clear room on my desk to make sure that I could fit my phone and the whole screen on my phone. Since I don't have workin speakers all you could hear was my keyboard so that is something I would improve if I redid my video. I wanted to show my talents of being able to get a good angle and making the shot look good no matter what I'm filming. I made sure it wasn't that bright in my room so that the video would be focused on the screen and not other things in the room.       At first I wasn't planning the to spent more then

Advance Feature New Story Blog Post

           For this feature News Story my group decided to interview the National Art Honors Society club, NAHS for short. We chose this club because of how underrepresented they are in the school. Once we found our topic we decided production roles. Kenzi was our director, John was the cinematographer, Lucas was the script supervisor, and I was the editor. Since this was Maicy's first project, she didn't have a role and just learned from us. Maicy knew someone who we could interview from NAHS but we were able to get a second interview from a senior in HAHS, the one seen in the video, and she was able to answer all the questions and it made for a better video.        For this project what I wanted to do differently was to try and make the video seem like the Interviewee was leading the interview. I tried to make it less question and answer, and make it flow more. I feel like this was an improvement from my last videos but there are parts where it cuts very rapidly and the B-
