Storyboard blog 10/22/2019

Today is October 22nd, 2019. My partner and I are planning out our storyboard for Nike Commercial. Each box is 5 seconds and there are 6 box, therefore our commercial will be 30 seconds. We so far have everything worked out and know what and where we are going to film, and what we are going to do within that film. Camera angles with in the film are going to include medium-long shit (1st box), close up(2nd box), long shot (3rd box), over the shoulder shot, (4th box), 2 person shot (5th box), and finally a medium close up (6th shot). The camera movements within the film will be tracking shot and zoom in shot. All will be filmed next class and soon be edited. Types of editing used will include cutaway, action match, graphic match, etcetera.

 In the 1st box, it shows that Zach Ertz appears. Zach Ertz is a Tight End for the Philidelpha Eagles, which whom will be played by me. This will be the first clip of our film. The second box shows Nike cleats, which will be worn by me and it the main product of this film. The cleats are owned by Alexis and I will be running route with them. The 3rd box includes me with the cleats. This is where i put them on and line up for a route against Alexis. You can notice me in the football field, which is the same one by the track.

In the 4th box, it shows the actual angle of Alexis and I lined up for the play. I will be running a route called an in-out. This  means I run inside and cut out to the sideline. This part is shown in the 5th box, in which I catch the ball, assisted by edgardo (another classmate but not in our group). I will "toe drag," a term used in football for this type of situation. And finally, the 6th box, which include a medium close up shot of the cleats, will finish off the commercial. It shows how clearly the Nike shoes, again, the main product of this film. This will all be done in Thursday, 10/24/2019.

Editing Blog

Today is Monday, October 14th, 2019. Today the whole class learned about editing and took notes. For the camera, we have to fill out the paper in the cubby by the door. Then, bring the form to Ms Katz. On to editing, in which we learned that we have to use the same computer every class along with the same login. After we are done filming and whatnot, we put the SD card in the SD card reader and open up a folder to save our date. This is where we will dump our footage from our camera to the computer. When going to find your footage, you have to go to DCIM, which is where your camera footage should me. If not, then  go to private, then press on AVCHD, then folder, and finally to stream.

In your footage folder, highlight your videos and import them into pinnacle studios. First, you need to press on desktop and then press on folder. You have to import every time after you are done filming. This is because sometime yours footage could get lost on the SD card. Before editing your footage, the clips are called raw footage, which is basically footage that has yet to go through the editing process. One thing to note is that everything is layered in editing, which is shown in movies, tv shows, cartoons, etcerta.

If there is a clip that you do not like, then you can go to the cut section. From there, you highlight that specific clip and press delete to get rid of that clip. If you did this, there is a redo button to add back that deleted section. If you want to get rid of audio, you can right click on the clip and press detach audio. Then highlight it and press delete. Detach audio is also how voice overs are created. Looking into your edits, you can see different colored bars. For example, the green bar means you changed something within that clip from enhancing and yellow with black marks means you sped up. After you are finished, make sure you export your footage (next to the import button) and make sure it's on MP 4 and full size SD. If you want to add music, you can download music from youtube

Convention/Codes

Today is Monday, October 7th, 2019. In AICE Media Studies, we are starting our commercial projects. My classmate, Alexis, and I are doing a commercial on Nike. Our main idea on the commercial is football. Nike commercials commonly feature famous athletes, like LeBron James. Nike usually shows soccer, football, basketball, and other sports. Nike is one of the biggest sport brands in the world, if not THE biggest.

Common sounds in Nike commercials are voice overs and music. Nike always takes part in Superbowl commercials. Nikes also shows different events from sports and list quotes, such as "Never Stop Winning," and "Dream Further." A common aspect of these commercials is that they all have music that goes with that specific topic that the commercial is aiming for. The types of music goes to all genres like rock, hip hop, pop, and even country. It gives it that scene a type of "sing along" and can motivate the listener.

Types of editing used in Nike commercials are jump cuts, hard cuts, L cuts, J cuts, etcerta. What this does it that it makes that scene look better and more clean, rather then just a plain ol' video with nothing but music and no cuts. Another type of editing is cross cut, which is known parallel editing. This is common, especially when the commercial is connecting the main scene to the brand. It could also be used to connect two different scenes that is related to the brand. Finally, Nike commercials motivate the viewers, and what Alexis and I are doing is just that.

1st blog 10/6/2019

My name is Adrian Mir and i'm in the 11th grade. This is my third year at Fort Lauderdale High School. This year i decided to take "AICE Media Studies" and my teacher goes my the name Ms. Katz. In the beginning of the year, we took important notes on camera angles and movements, which we were later given a test upon those specific words. I got a A on it. Next, we took notes on editing mis en scene, and sounds. The next activity we did was a project on hand written commercials, in which the topic i chose was deodorant. The most recent project we did was a PowerPoint on a specific genre, in which me and current classmate Alexis Morin were given the topic of drama. Last week, we practiced the environment of a real AICE Media Studies test, in which was about a 5 minute scene to the television show "Mr. Robot." We were tested on the certain camera angles with the film, the types of editing used, the types of sounds used, and the different types of mis en scene. Next week, we will be starting our first real filming project where we will be making a commercial on a certain subject.
