Planning Storyboard for my Smartwater Commercial

 First Scene

In the opening scene I will jog past the camera heading towards a platform. At the start of the scene I will not be in view and at the end of the scene I will be jogging away from the camera.

Second Scene

The second scene picks up where the first one left off. The beginning of the scene will consist of me jogging briefly to arrive at the platform. I will then sit down at the platform, facing the camera, but not looking directly at it. I am supposed to be worn out in this scene from all the running I've been doing, so I must make sure to emphasize that.

Third Scene

The third scene will introduce the Smartwater bottle. I will look and notice something to my left. As I look to my left, the camera will pan to the left revealing the whole setting and the Smartwater bottle. Once I notice the bottle fully, I will have a kind of surprised reaction to it, implying that it was not previously there. 

Fourth Scene

The fourth scene will zoom in on the Smartwater bottle to truly show the bottle. The previous scene will most likely be at a distance where the Smartwater won't be immediately recognizable as specifically a Smartwater bottle. 

Fifth Scene

In the fifth scene, while the the camera is still zoomed into the Smartwater bottle, I will reach over, grab, and pick it up. Only my arm and hand should be visible for this scene. I will be implying that I am drinking the Smartwater. 

Sixth Scene

The sixth scene will consist of me placing down a now empty Smartwater bottle. It is implied that I have finished the Smartwater. However, I will place the bottle down a bit left of where it was originally. In the new space provided I will insert text that says Smartwater as well as a slogan that I came up with for this commercial. 

*Scene length per scene should be around 5 seconds.

Short Film: The Terrible Old Man Analysis

Image
I was excited to review this short film as it is based on an H.P Lovecraft story. Lovecraft is one of my favorite authors, and I was excited to see his writing on the screen. I have never heard of this short story before, however, I was excited to see how it would be. This one was pretty long, but I still liked it overall. Common Sounds- Lots of wind, sounds for background like chimes to set the mood. There is dialogue also between the robbers and the old man, however, it isn't as important. Common Mis-en-scene- This includes the scenes with the house decoration, the really good costumes to make it as Lovecraftian as possible, and the props used by the old man and the robbers. Common Editing- Many backs and forth close shots and dolly shots in this film. Too many zooms, to be honest, it was kind of making me sick. What did I like about the genre- How well the mystery was paced in this short film was amazing. I was mostly worried about the time when making mine and this helped to se

Planning For My Music Video

  Planning For My Music Video Song Title:  The title of the song I intend to use is Brenda's Got a Baby. It was made by Tupac Shakur in 1991. The song, which features R&B singer Dave Hollister singing background vocals with Roniece Levias, is about a 12-year-old girl named Brenda who lives in a ghetto and has a baby she can't support. Props: I do not intend to use any props within my music video. The music video will only involve actors and a particular setting.  Costumes: I intend to dress in a style that is reminiscent of 90s rap attire. I will be wearing some form of baggy pants as well as a baggy shirt. I will either be wearing a pair of Nike Airforce 1s or a pair of Timberland Boots, which were common choices for footwear in the 90s. I plan having another person within the video as an actor and he will be wearing similar attire.  Location: The location of the video will an empty street. I will be walking down a street within my video so any empty street in a residentia

Final Task Filming/Editing: Adjusting to Schedules and Identifying Music

Image
 Adjusting to Schedules and Identifying Music      Filming did not go as I'd previously scheduled. 11th graders at our school had to take the SAT on March 3rd, 2021. I had planned for filming to begin on March 3rd  and continue into March 4th, however my other participants did not feel that they could come out to film after taking the test. This is understandable, and I respect the fact that they may need some down time after being tested for 5 hours. In the meantime, I began research on possible music choices that I could use in my film. I'm going to need three different types of background music in my film: upbeat hip hop music, casual hip-hop music, and dramatic music. For the hip-hop instrumentals, I looked into Homage Beats, who is a beat producer who makes a wide variety of hip hop beats. I am familiar with Homage's work because I have used some of it in past videos (personal). I have identified 6 different beats which I think fit my film very well, and I have contact
