Cant film today

Image
 Today is September 30, the day I was supposed to be filming. However I was unable to because of some unforeseen issues. Someone near me tested positive for Covid-19, so on Wednesday I had to leave early because of procedures. I have not gotten the vaccine yet so I was someone who was at risk, and needed to stay away until I got tested or, but if I didn't want to, stay away for four days. Either way, I would not have been able to go to school today or Friday. Its upsetting that I will lose a day of filming because of this, but I'm grateful to be able to still go to school and Monday and film my commercial. I need to make sure I can film on Monday, hopefully there is no bad weather and the lighting is good so when I film it looks natural. Luckily I already have a second place to film in case of such circumstances, so I'm not really worried. The only thing to be worried about is timing. I need to start filming as soon as I can then right after go straight into editing. I alre

Time to draw

 scene 1: In scene one, we start out with the back of an head of an actor, where it will show her reading a book while siting down in an area.  scene 2:  Next, the camera angle will flip to a side profile of the girl while she is still has the book in hand but instead of reading she looks at a soda being handed to her. The soda being handed to her will be the coca cola. So to show the sharing.  scene 3:  In the third scene it will show an over the shoulder angle of the girls friend, they would be the one handing a coca cola to her while also having another one for themselves.  scene 4: Scene 4 will switch the camera view over to the front of both girls where, the friend will jump over to sit on the seat with the other girl and start conversating while opening the coca cola to drink.  scene 5: the final scene will be the last scene but it goes into zooming out while they are talking, laughing, and drinking coca cola. while its zooming out it will blur into the coca cola symbol and a slo

planning it out

 Right now I am planning how my commercial will be shot, what camera angles are best to use, time dates, and how the weather should look.  props: My main prop is going to be a bottle of coca cola, with a side treat like chips to go with the soda, nothing to take away focus from the soda. They chip will be not be a name brand chip because this is a soda commercial. costumes Since the commercial is about friendship, so it wont have any special types of clothing. What will be worn in the commercial is clothing the average teenager would wear. Nothing to over the top, what will be seen are jeans, jackets, t-shirts, possibly a skirt. Hair in a ponytail or just hair down. schedule  on 9/24/2021 I will be creating and finishing my storyboard  on 9/28/2021 making sure I have all my props ready, and checking the weather on filming day on 9/30/2021 Assisting with video taping on 10/4/2021 filming day, recording my video  on 10/6/2021 I will edit all clips together for my commercial  on 10/8/2021

research for commercial

Today I did research on my coca cola commercial. Most of the commercial had either heartwarming or energetic music. There wasn't a lot of moving around but more family then anything.   Nothing special for the clothing, but more as regular clothes you would see anybody wear. This was most likely to show the common person and that anyone can like coca cola.   The only props in the commercials is the soda, a can opener, and food to go with the soda. Nothing that seems to elaborate or crazy.  the score that can usually be heard in the commercials are either emotional, or energetic. The emotional shows how coca cola brings people together, while the energetic can show that coca cola brings life to the party and makes every body energetic.  actors in the commercial are usually happy and smiling, then they bring in the coke which makes all of them light up.  Some popular slogans in the coca cola commercial is 'delicious and refreshing' which smart because its simple , not to compl

working alone

 Today we were given one of our very first video assignments, create a commercial. Its how it sounds, you would choose a product, create and idea of what you want your video to be, then produce it. Its sounds simple but its way more complicated. We were given a choice, work with a partner or group, or work alone. I decided I wanted to work alone for this assignment. While working with other may have been fun and possibly more efficient, working alone seemed better for me personally. In my last post, I spoke of wanting to connect with people, and this project seemed like the perfect opportunity. However, I don't want to use an important project like this to make friends, I want to use it as a learning experience. I have my own ideas I want to use, and I want to learn about doing my own work. While working alone on this project may give me more responsibilities, I still think its better than doing it in a group. I wont be doing this project with no help what so ever I'm going to

Intro to myself

 Hello, my name is Cecelia Torrez I am in the 10th grade, and I am excited to learn with this classes curricular. A little bit about myself, I am just coming back to school from covid-19 and its not easy as, I thought it would be. Yes, school is still the same, however, making friends and connecting with people isn't as easy. I don't want to say I'm struggling, but it isn't a picnic either. Even though its a little hard now, i know by the end of the year I will get back into the rhythm. Going back into the positive, I am excited to do some hands on learning in class. Online school just wasn't the same, I was learning, and I know the information but, it still felt like I was alone the whole time. So, while I will miss my perfectly good bed, I'm excited to join new clubs, do new activities, and make new friends. In fact, I have already joined a few after school activities already. For starters I'm in marching band, in which I play the alto saxophone. I decided
