Commercial Final Product


The brand I choose for this commercial was Gatorade which is the pinnacle of sports drinks for athletes across the world. When I first started developing ideas for this commercial I didn't think they would come out well and it took a while to think of something that would be visually appealing. The filming process took 3 days and those were probably the longest 3 days of my life. I had to film multiple takes of the same scene and on the first day of filming I was only able to get 1 scene done up to a good standard. In all I think it took me around 3-4 hours to film the scenes for the commercial. Which allowed me to be in the shoes of a director and see what's it's like to have to do takes over and over again until you got that perfect shot. The editing process was probably my favorite and least favorite part of this whole project. While editing this commercial I got stressed out multiple times wanted to quit and I even thought about throwing the whole idea out the window and starting over from scratch. That was the bad experience that I had but once I finished and was able to reflect on everything I was able to accomplish being new to editing I actually did really good and enjoyed myself. This commercial really allowed me to put my creativeness out there with something I could see myself getting into in the future. I was even able to make some funny bloopers with the scenes that didn't make the final commercial and I just look back at them and laugh. At the end of it all though this whole experience was great I had so much fun even though there were a lot of struggles to get to this point

Genre Research: Horror

  Horror films are designed to scare the audience and inflict certain emotions into them. The different aspects when it comes filming and editing horror has been investigated. To see what really goes into making a horror film pop out at an audience. For starters, the common lighting used in horror films is low lighting. It creates a mysterious mood that builds tension, stress, and fear. So that the audience will stay on their toes never knowing when something will pop out to scare them. Frequently used camera shots includes close-up shots, over-the-shoulder shots, low angle shots, high angle shots, and canted angle shots.

THE FINAL TASK

Image
 This final is something that I have spent a lot of time making sure that it was perfect. I spent almost five days filming the scenes for the final task, because I wanted every scene to be done with maximum effort. The editing process also took a long time to get done consuming at least 4 to 5 hours out of two days. While editing this final task I got stressed out but I kept going because I knew it would be worth all of the hard work. Sometime even requiring me to take a step back to avoid overworking myself and becoming too stressed. I had to improvise at one point and start to adjust the order in which the clips were placed so they matched up with the music. That was probably the only bad experience that I had but once I finished that up and was able to reflect on everything I was able to accomplish  I  and enjoyed myself. I've improved my editing and filming skills over the course of this project which shows in the final product. I even had a little fun with it and too...
