Final Shots

-

 


Today was my second and final day of filming for my music video. Most of the filming was done yesterday, so not much was left to be done. I made sure that my exact outfit from yesterday was still stored so I could wear it again for filming today. Once I put that shirt and bathing suit on again, I gathered the props I needed: sunglasses and a towel. Since the scene of me walking outside to the pool wasn't filmed correctly, I needed to reshoot it. I had my mom record me as I acted out the scene again. However, when I looked through it again, I noticed it hadn't been recording. The camera app on my phone wasn't working properly, so my mom used her phone so she could send it to me afterwards. Then, we recorded the scene, and she sent it to me once I was happy with it. I saved it to my camera roll and edited it so that it would look smoother. After this, I quickly looked through my footage from yesterday to see if anything else needed to be reshot. I was satisfied with the footage that I had, so I was good on filming. The next step will be to compile the clips together and find an app I can use to edit it into a music video. I am very glad I filmed on the days that I did, because the weather was perfect for the video. Had it been rainy or cloudy, I would have had to wait until the backup dates, 12/4 and 12/5, to film instead. This would give me less time to edit and perfect the music video. Overall, I really enjoyed filming this music video. It was fun to go outside and hang out by the pool for a little bit, and to get my mom and my sister to film for me. I think the footage that I have is awesome, and I am excited to see how it comes together for the final product.

Filming Time!

 Last Saturday, March 5, I began filming my opening sequence. I decided to film a small portion of the sequence only. This is because I wanted to split the filming process into multiple days. I first asked my mom if she would be able to take part in the filming. Thankfully, she was able to. We went outside to the front yard to film the establishing shot. This shot did not require either of us to show ourselves. I held the camera and pointed it forward for a few seconds. This is where I will edit in the opening credits and the title of the film. Then, I slowly panned over to my house to set up the next shot. Then, I changed into pajama-like clothes to film the next scene. I turned on my computer and opened a Word document to type on. As I was typing, my mom began recording. She slowly walked down the hallway into my room while filming. I continued typing Henry's diary entry, not paying attention to the camera. Next, we shot a few more shots of me typing on the computer. We shot a fe...

  Christopher Hayman and Sarah Samuels For this commercial, my partner and I are going to advertise the popular shoe brand Nike. Nike offers many different types of products, such as shoes, jerseys, bags, socks, and many more accessories and equipment. However, they are most commonly known for their shoes. One example of a product branded by Nike is the ZoomX Invincible Run. These shoes include soft, responsive foam, and a Flyknit upper that allows your feet extra security and breathability. They are only one of Nike's most tested shoes. These qualities make it an excellent choice for shoes that you can run and exercise with. Another product of theirs is the Air VaporMax 2021. These powerful shoes are complete with extra-stretchy Flyknit fabric, a recycled TPU heel clip, and a switched-on Swoosh that make it a pleasurable jog. Not only that, but they are made from at least 40% recycled materials. The Nike Revolution 5 is another one of Nike's most impressive products. These sho...

Commercial is Done!

I am very excited that our commercial for Nike shoes is finally complete. Sarah and I have spent several weeks working hard on it, and it is incredibly satisfying to see it come together in the final product. The best part of this project was being able to insert our creativity into a real piece of media. It took a long time to complete and perfect, but it was a unique experience and I learned a lot while doing it. I learned how to plan and execute digital media and how to showcase creative talent through it. I also learned how to edit footage and merge it into a full-length film, which was incredible. Also, I loved being able to advertise a company that is as well-known and liked and Nike. Being able to demonstrate the greatness of their products was awesome. We are very happy that this commercial has come to be what it is now. Our work has definitely paid off, and we can't wait for you to see it!
