Filming Blog: Gatorade Commercial

Image
  So on the first filming day I was able to get most of the scenes for my commercial done. Eventually I came to back inside to start piecing the recorded pieces together.  The following day I will continue recoding after I have pieces together the scenes gathered so far.  Seeing as I was tired  from filming in the blazing hot sun for so long. I spent most of the day putting the scene together and getting the desired shots. It was a struggle trying to find out how to work out how to use the camera at first. I wasn’t really used to recording things on my phone because I usually just take pictures. At first I was just acting out the scenes before we turned the cameras on to film. Once I figured out exactly how I was going to act it out we started filming. It took a few takes because the lighting wasn’t really reflecting well in the camera. With the lighting not being the best I  moved to a spot where the lighting was better. After I finished recording the first scene of the film i took a

Storyboarding: Gatorade Commercial

 WELCOME TO MY STORYBOARD!!! SCENE 1- During the first scene the camera will be recording a moving shot of me. Once the camera starts recording I will begin running on the track while up tempo music is being played. The camera will then transition straight into scene two. SCENE 2- During scene two the camera will be recording a aerial shot. During this scene I will be doing jumping jacks on the track with the up tempo music continuing to play. After I've done like 3 jumping jacks I will bend over before scene 3 begins. SCENE 3 - In scene 3 the camera will be recording another mid shot. In this scene I will be doing push ups on the track working up the final bit of sweat. After I've done like 2 push ups I will get up and put my hands over my head.  SCENE 4 - In scene 4 the camera will be performing a close up shot. During this scene I will pick my Gatorade up from off the floor. SCENE 5 - During the scene the camera will be recording another close up shot. In this scene I will b

 I will be doing a Gatorade commercial. In almost all Gatorade commercial there is an athlete performing some type of sporting activity (Running, Playing Tennis, or Basketball). The costumes in Gatorade commercials often feature sporting gear like running shoes, shorts, sports bra's, or compression shirts. The sound used in Gatorade commercials is often an upbeat soundtrack to get the audience pumped and interested in the commercial. Most gatorade commercial use tracking shots that follow the athlete as they workout and work up a sweat. They also often feature close up shots of an athlete drinking Gatorade before the camera cuts. The actors in Gatorade commercials are often superstar athletes who are dripping with sweat and with the lighting adding a glow effect to their skin while they are working out. The props included in Gatorade commercial are Gatorade bottles, sports balls and  gatorade towels that are being used by the athletes. The camera is positioned to be at eye level, a

           I will be working on this project by myself everything from the planning the sky boarding and editing. I decided to work alone to avoid head butting ideas with other people. I also choose to work alone for the first filming  assignment to see how well I understand the filming terms and how to put them to use as the course progresses. This would be the perfect assignment for me to test my skills and how they have improved from the first project.Working by myself allows me to fully indulge myself in the project and really have fun with it while I'm producing it.   I can speak from experience and say that I perform my best when I am working by myself. So I came to the executive decision to work alone until I hopefully am able to find a group of people I work good with. For now though I already have an idea of what brand I am going to do my music video on. While working on this project by myself may prove difficult because of the amount of work that must be completed for the

      Hi my name is Desmond but most people call me Dez which is a nickname that I got playing little league football. I am taking AICE Media because I find the different components of filming interesting and maybe one day like to incorporate them into my own film. AICE Media also caught my attention because it is a class that allows you to use are your creative ideas and express yourself though drawings and short clips. I am a very imaginative person that always thinks of little neat characters that are out of the ordinary. It is my 12th grade at Fort Lauderdale High School and I participate on the track and field team.       I've been running track since I was 14 for an individual team that travels across the states to compete against other athletes. At first I wasn't very good at it and would always come in last in every event I participated in. After constantly losing I decided to start training deeply in track lifting weights from time to time and going on runs to help inc
