 I'm actually kind of excited to put together my commercial. I have a lot of pictures and videos to choose from, but if none of them seem good enough for the commercial, I'll just make more. For the intro, it'll be a blank screen, maybe just black. That will just be the plain template for me to put the title text onto it. I'll edit in some transitions, maybe the text will fade in. Another option I like is me adding some "boom" sound effects as each word on the title screen appears. There's a specific sound effect I have in mind, I just don't remember what it's called, so I'll have to do some searching on YouTube. For the media, I'll start with a picture and a video of myself and add some text saying "this is me!! I'm super cool!!." I was thinking the video should have a caption with something like "I am so silly!!." I want my commercial to be "meme-esque," so it has to be really dumb in a way, but at the same time creative. In other words, just plain childish, something a 5 year old would find hilarious. But then again, I am that 5 year old and my humor is broken. After the media that showcases myself, I'll use the media I gathered that represents my interests, likes, and dislikes, then separate those into categories. First, another screen would appear that goes "these are my interests" then insert media of my favorite bands and whatnot. Next, another screen that says "I like these things" will appear, and obviously it's gonna talk about what I like. After that a screen with my dislikes will show up and that is pretty much how the commercial will go. I'm not going to use too many video filters or anything like that. This commercial is gonna have its fair share of editing, but not excessive. My songs are already picked out, so I'm still trying to figure out how I will incorporate them in my commercial. I might not even use them for the entire duration of the video, just on the section about me. I'll see once I actually start working on my video.

Production Blog- The Beginning

Image
 I have set out to begin working on my music video. I have a few volunteers for acting, which is really good. I plan to be in charge of filming and editing because that's what I do best. I used to have a YouTube channel from the ages of 9-12, so I have experience in that field. For a while, editing was my passion, and I'm confident I can make a decent final product. After I made my storyboard, I visualized the main idea for the project. As the first step, I started off by downloading the necessary editing apps. Then, I sought out to research cameras and maybe see if I could buy one that is better quality than my phone. This did not work out, I am broke and cannot afford the camera I so dearly want. Okay well, I'm not broke, just cheap. On top of that, I only have enough money for a cheap camera, and I refuse to settle for lower quality. If I can convince my parents to get me a $400 camera, that'd be awesome! I would love to get my hands on a Canon EOS Rebel T100. Or may...

Production: Script/Screenplay

Image
 My script doesn't have much dialogue whatsoever. It actually only has two lines where the characters speak. The point of the lack of speech in the script is to create a sense of mystery and suspense. I want whoever is watching to be confused as to what's happening. This will have them wondering what this suspicious character is about to do. I will copy and paste my script here so that you can read it. INT. CHARACTER 1'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DUSK To establish the scene, Character 1 is seen setting up the Christmas tree.  EXT. CHARACTER 1'S HOUSE - ACROSS THE STREET - DUSK  Character 2 stands menacingly outside Character 1's house, with the objective to enter.  EXT. CHARACTER 1'S HOUSE - THE BACKYARD - DUSK Character 2 decides to enter through the back where they will not be seen. They jump the fence, their identity remaining obscured INT. CHARACTER 1'S HOUSE - KITCHEN/DINING ROOM - DUSK Character 1 is seen preparing something in the kitchen, seemingly unawa...

Our Pitch

Image
 Pitch 1: Long lost twins find each other after being switched up at birth Pitch 2: Millionaire leaves his wife for someone else under the assumption that she's poor, but she turns out to be the richest person in the world I probably wouldn't be interested in doing the first plot. This is because it's super basic, just very cliche. To be honest, me and my partner haven't had the chance to discuss anything. We just agreed to come up with random plots then mutually agree on one. But the first plot I definitely wouldn't pick, only because of how unoriginal it is. Pitch 2 is more interesting to me personally, so I would most likely pick this one. These kinds of dramas are also common, but they're just way more entertaining. It's also really enjoyable, and with the right technique, you can make it more unique than other dramas. The inspiration for me choosing this pitch came from those webtoons and the short story video apps. I actually like this one a lot more, ...
