Group Blog

Hello everyone! Currently, we have been assigned a group assignment. This assignment consists of creating a 30-second advertisement. My group consists of Sabrina and Celine. I chose these two people to work with because I know them personally and thought they would be great to work with. I have Sabrina in multiple classes and she is amazing. Her time management skills are impeccable. She is also an incredible student, who consistently studies to ensure that on any assessment, she is sure to pass with flying colors. Within an assignment that requires group work, she assumes what I like to call the "Organizer" role. She takes the initiative to sort out tasks, make sure that everyone has each other's contact information, and most importantly, that everyone contributes equally to assignments. I also have Celine in multiple classes. Her work ethic is something to be envious of. While studying or doing an assignment, she makes sure to work uninterrupted, pushing away any distractions. This to me, indicates that when working on a task, she makes sure to complete it thoroughly before switching her focus to something else. Both Celine and Sabrina demonstrate this skill, which is a good indication of our success. Additionally, both Celine and Sabrina are in higher-level classes, which indicates to me that these two are hard workers. Knowing this information allows me to ensure that my group mates and I will be able to put in the necessary work to complete this assignment. Furthermore, I have actually studied with both people and I can say with full confidence that this assignment will not be a tremendous amount of work, but rather a fun group assignment. I appreciate both very much and I am glad I chose these two to work on this assignment. I believe we will successfully work together cohesively and create an amazing advertisement film.

Planning Storyboard for my Starbucks commercial

Image
Our storyboard goes as the following: First Scene- During this scene, we will be focusing on the Starbucks cup for the commercial. In the beginning, there will be a fade in, which will then show an individual in our group’s back. After that, it turns into a tracking shot to a side shot of her studying. The location for this scene is on the senior patio. We believed it would be best to use a popular place used for dining because our commercial includes eating and drinking. Soft, subtle, jazz music will be playing in the background as well. Second Scene- In the next scene, the shot zooms into the individual, who is about to take a sip from her drink. But then she realizes she wants some food to go along with her drink. This is all taking place at the senior patio and the shot will be a close up. Soft subtle jazz is still playing. Third Scene- This scene starts with a bag dropping in and in a close up. It is wide open and sparkles as well as angelic noises are heard as the music is playin...

And That's a Wrap!

The filming process took my partner, Celine, and me about a day. The majority of the clips were filmed on December 7th, alongside any retakes. The clips that were shot lined up with the storyboard created to ensure that everything that could be filmed was. However, while filming, there were a few complications that could affect the editing stage of the music video. Additionally, the beach is usually very windy, and I am quite sure some of the sounds of the wind were picked up on the shots, which could pose an issue while editing the clips together. However, it should not be a major issue, since the song will be layered over it. My partner Celine and I are full-time students so there isn't as much spare time as the group would've liked. Fortunately, there was an available time period for the group to go to the beach and film, which was taken full advantage of. Since my partner and I went to the beach after school, it was a bit later and the sun was already starting to set. Using...

Starbucks, start your day off with great taste. | Commercial blog

                                                  This commercial was the first effort within my group. I honestly enjoyed collaborating with my groupmates, it was definitely a learning experience. Some things I learned were that I enjoyed filming and being a camera person rather than acting and being the one filmed. Additionally that I must be realistic when storyboarding. My group and I while storyboarding decided to include a few animations to make the commercial seem more polished and professional. A few issues with this is that no one in the group had any previous experience creating animations, no one knew how to create them. When it came time to create and incorporate them into the commercial, my group and I weren't able to include them in the commercial. I would've truly preferred that my group and I were able to include them in th...
