Production Around the School

     For first day of filming we did things pretty quick. we get the main idea down and the things we wanted to do. We had all of our actresses get into character with their clothes and props. We had to reshoot a few scenes because we forgot to take off Nicole's lanyard that said our school name on it but we caught it quickly so it was easy to fix. Violet and Nicole were the actresses in the commercial. I was in one scene in the begging but we will redo that and shoot it differently so that i can film and violet will be the mother. For the last scene, we weren't quite sure how to film so that it wouldn't look choppy and get cut off. Luckily, mila came up with a good way of shooting it and it looked very nice. Sadly, we didn't shoot a tilt or pan scene so we have to re film a few scenes differently the next day. We know exactly what to do now so it will go by quickly.

     In the first box we drew a woman pulling a sticky note from the camera and you can see her write a note and stick it in a lunch box     In the second box the camera angle is over the shoulder mixed with "gods view" and we see her open the lunch box with the note, the camera doesn't show what the note says but it skips to her reaction of the note which is a smile.     In the third box, a sad kid is walking and she hands the same note to him which makes him smile as well.     next you can see him walking to a board and stick the same note onto it however, the message that is written on it is still unseen by the camera.     Last, the boy walks away from the board and the note is finally revealed with the words "spread joy" hence the same note going around making people smile.

      My group and I decided to make our commercial about Post-it Notes. Based on multiple commercials we've seen, one specific clip that was shared between many of the commercials was a wall full of sticky notes. Something else we usually saw was a clip of people writing on the sticky notes and clips of them removing it from the pad.       The people in the commercials are usually wearing casual attire, no specific types of clothes are worn by the actors.       The props shared throughout all of the different commercials include a Post-it notepad, and something used to write on the sticky notes, which most of the time are pens.       The general appearance of the people in the commercials is professional and organized.       The commercials are usually regularly paced, nothing is rushed and everything seems to be in control and organized. This also promotes that customers will be more or...

         PROPS : Since our group decided on a Post-it Note commercial, we wont need many props but the things we will need are; sticky notes, a pen, a lunch box, and maybe a book.     COSTUMES : Our commercial doesn't have anything to do with athletic wear or fancy clothes. we will just need our regular everyday outfits  The commercial won't be focused on an individual at all times so we might have one or two actresses.     SCHEDULE: on 09/23/21: our group will establish props, costumes, filming location, research, and back-up plan. on 09/27/21: our group will create our story board and discuss it.  on 09/29/21: our group will create the scenes for our 30 second commercial on 09/31/21: our group will edit and do final touches to the commercial.      LOCATION LIST:        One of our locations will be the court yard. In this location we will have our actress pull out a Post-it Not...

      For my group project some may say I got lucky. I get to work with my three other friends. This may not seem like the best idea but i know they are smart hardworking individuals. I will start with myself and my task in this project. I said in my intro that I have some talent in the artistry department so that will be my job. For the story board it is important that is is easy to understand with well drawn pictures.      S econd we have Mila, I met mila last year and which is surprising because of everything with COVID. she has a very intelligent mind and a good creative eye. this means she is our editor. When we need something taken out, special effects, sound effects etc we've got our handy dandy mila.                                                                ...

 Hello!      My name is Dara Sedaka, I live in two house holds. One is with my dad, step mom, and occasionally my sister will come back from college, and border terrier dog named cooper. The other is with my mom, step dad, same sister, and two dogs named bear and little bear and two cats named slider and snowy. First I want to say i'm not quite sure what I want to be or study in college. ever since I was little I wanted to be a veterinarian but when I went to sixth grade I started getting more into movies. Like a lot of teens, I wanted to be an actress. I wanted to be the main character of every story however, two years later I realized I really like to film things, mostly people. Thats when I started looking into cinematography and directing. I found out about this class and thought it would such a good opportunity to learn more about what I might want to be when i'm older. luckily, it just so happened to be AICE. some of my interests include painting, drawing, socc...
