My Great Group!





 For my final task I had to choose the three group members I would be working with! Throughout the year I have reconnected with old friends and made new ones. It was very important for me to find my strong suits before deciding on a group. For my first task one of my partners was Ely, my friend from my freshman year of high school. He took a more logical approach to the task and was thinking about the dates and timing of filming. I also worked with my friend Mya who I had met freshman year as well. She was very good at filming and editing and mainly did all of the technical aspects. Lastly, I worked with my friend Jade who I had met at the end of last year in AICE testing. She was very good at coming up with ideas for what we would be advertising and how we would do it. After our first task I knew we could have done better and focused more on getting the work done rather than having fun. On my next task Ely decided to group with some of his new friends from the football team. So, for my music video I worked with Mya and Jade again. We worked very well together and stuck to our usual “roles”, Mya filming and editing, Jade and I planning and acting. I did very good on this project and was very happy with the results. I believe my first group for the commercial could not focus very well, therefore my small group worked well. For my final project I knew the group I chose was very important to my success in this class. Jade decided she wanted to work alone, so Mya and I wanted to find new group members. My childhood friend, Addison, decided to pair up with Mya and I. As well as my friend from middle school, Connor. Addison is artistically talented and I know she will be great for coming up with visions and our storyboard! Connor  also has both acting and debate experience, making him good at directing and acting in our final task. I still plan on focusing on the acting and planning part of this final task, while Mya will do the filming and editing primarily. I am looking forward to completing my final task and I am very confident in my partners!

A soccer showdown

   Today was our second day of filming on October 6th, 2021. Our group was excited to finish our Adidas commercial. Jade Walrave and I changed into our costumes before heading to our filming set. The track, our filming set, was not very busy so we began finding an area with good lighting to film our final scenes. The final scenes we needed to film was the action scene where Jade and I were in a head to head match. We first began by filming a low angle of me and jade running in order to show off the adidas brand cleats. After this we filmed a few of my shoes alone in order to get the perfect shot. Between filming each scene we would go back and review the scene in order to change anything wrong in it. We ended up re-filming the first scene around 5 times before capturing the correct shot. Next we grabbed orange cones to set up the “goal” for our shot. We began practice our blocking for the scene and making sure the angles were correct. It was difficult to originally figure out ...

  Making my film takes a lot of planning and attention to detail. With a schedule of two shooting days, there is a lot of work to do to make sure everything runs smoothly. Here are some of the extra details I had to consider when planning my five-minute film. After I identified the specific locations I will be filming at, including both interior and exterior scenes I still had to work out the details. I first had to e nsure that I have permission to film at each location and was in compliance with any local regulations. Next, I must c onsider the time of day I will be shooting each scene and plan accordingly. Make sure I have all the necessary equipment, including cameras, lighting, and sound equipment. Identify all the participants in my film and make sure they are available on the scheduled shooting days. Establish health and safety protocols to keep everyone on set safe and healthy. Provide personal protective equipment, such as masks and gloves, to all cast and crew members. Se...

  For my commercial assignment, I decided to pair with Jade Walrave, Ely Silverberg, and Mya Hauser.  For this commercial, I wanted to choose some of my peers with who I knew I was comfortable working with and filming with. I met Ely and Mya last year during my general paper class and we often worked on many group projects together. We always would finish our projects on time and we worked great together as a team. `I also met Jade last year during AICE Testing and she sat in front of me. We ended up becoming friends and hanging out the whole summer. After reviewing our schedules we discovered we had AICE Media together. I knew we would work well together as we already got along with each other outside of school. Together our group will function well because each member has their own specialty and skill set. Ely is good at concepts and creating a layout and design for each scene as well as the production as a whole. Mya is better at scriptwriting and is great at relating the s...
