Planning for my Gatorade commercial


 Props: The product I'm advertising is a fruit punch flavored Gatorade bottle, which will be my main prop. Other props my commercial will be containing are a volleyball, volleyball nets, and a cooler.

Costumes: As for costumes, my actors will be wearing running shorts, with a loose breathable shirt. Since we are playing beach volleyball they won't be needing any shoes or kneepads. My main actor will have on a visor hat with her hair up. If my actresses aren't sweaty enough I'll spray some water on their faces to really exemplify the hard work of their training.

Schedule: 

10/21/2020: I researched conventions relating to sports drinks and Gatorade commercials.                              10/22/2020: I came up with my general idea of my commercial, a location, and a backup plan for my commercial.                                                                                                                                                        10/23/2020: I will work on my storyboard and brainstorm some ideas for my script for my commercial.          10/24/2020: I will complete my storyboard and finish creating my small script for my commercial.                10/25/2020: I will begin filming for my 30 seconds long Gatorade commercial.                                              10/26/2020: I will begin editing all of my clips in Clipchamp and use this editing software to make my commercial.

Location and Set:                                                                                                                                              The location this commercial will take place at Deicke Park at the volleyball nets. Since we were basing our commercial around an athlete training in volleyball this is the perfect spot to do it. The set will include a tripod, and a spray bottle of water beside me to help film my commercial.

Backup Plan:                                                                                                                                                  If my location happens to rain a little bit that day I might continue on with my filming but just with the new idea of training in the rain. But if it ends up pouring heavily I'll push back filming that day, to later in the afternoon the following day. In this case, I would also have to push all the other things in my schedule back one day. If one of my actresses can't come in I have another friend on standby who could fill in. I have practice during the weekdays and they end when it's dark out, and I don't want to film in the dark after practice. I'd rather not film over the weekend because it is too close to the due date, so I might change it from training at the beach volleyball park, to the gym I practice at if it comes down to it.

Music Video Intro blog

 For my music video project, I've decided on working with a partner. The person I have chosen to work with is Alexa Delgado. I've worked with her on previous projects before this one. Even on the projects that we were supposed to work individually, she'd always offer to help with anything I needed. We've known each other since kindergarten, and I believe this is the main determinant of why we work so well together. We also already see each other on a daily basis because we live so close together. She is one of my best friends, and we really understand each other, so we tend to have a lot of things in common. Like for example, our taste in music. Alexa brought up the idea of choosing the song violent crimes by Kanye West, which we then concluded as the song for our project pretty quickly. Our video is going to portray the deeper meaning of this song. Kanye was basically talking about the uneasiness of his daughters growing up. The underlying message of what girls have to...

Filming Blog: Volleyball gym

On Sunday the 25th of October I went over to my friend's house so that we can prepare to film at a park near her house. While waiting in the house it started to rain. I then decided to reschedule filming later on in that week because I had other factors that ended up making me decided that I would now need to film indoors in a gym. Because I had volleyball practice, the only day I could film were the 29th and 30th of October after practice. I had to ask my coach prior to filming if it was okay. While filming I had my main actress named Amelia who was willing to do whatever I told her I needed, which was extremely helpful. In the opening scene, I really wanted to start off by emphasizing the intensity of the commercial to come. I did this by doing a tilt shot from her shoes to her face. Then an establishing shot of where she was which was a high school gym. Since the commercial is advertising Gatorade I really wanted to exemplify the highs and lows of training for a sport such as vo...
