I Cannot Believe I Forgot This…


In my excitement of finishing filming all the necessary scenes and even the refilming of certain scenes, two very important scenes of the opening sequence somehow escaped my mind. I truly cannot comprehend how I let this slip my mind, but I unfortunately did. I skipped over filming the scene where I am writing in my journal. I also did not record the voiceover accompanying the clip. I have no idea how I managed to skip over filming such an important part of the opening sequence. I believe it was my excitement to finish filming paired with me skimming over my storyboard that caused me to skip over this scene! Thankfully I realized I had accidentally skipped over the scene before it was too late. I was beginning to edit the opening sequence. I was piecing all the clips together, as I usually do. I was finishing putting all the clips in order before I added in any transitions or any further editing when I noticed something strange. I was missing a good chunk of time from my opening sequence! I spent a good deal of time completely confused. I was looking back into my camera roll frantically. I assumed I had misclicked and missed adding in a clip into iMovie. However, to my confusion, I couldn’t find this missing clip. I began to panic, searching through every single video clip I had until the possibility that I had forgotten to film a clip dawned on me. I grabbed my storyboard and went through every clip I had on iMovie, and realized I was missing the very beginning of my opening sequence. Since it was earlier in the day that I had caught this mistake, I was able to film the scenes and record the accompanying voiceover with the last of the bright pale sunlight. Although I did have a good laugh once I realized what I had done, it did scare me quite a bit. I have learned to not skim but to carefully and slowly look through each clip and compare it with the storyboard, to ensure things like this do not occur.

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...
