Group Blog



         Hello, I am excited to introduce Willow Rivera, Jacob Pineiro, and Kai Lobban as my groupmates for an upcoming project we have! The project we have been assigned to tackle as a group is a 30-second commercial that is advertising a product or object of our choice. When working in a group, I find that communication is key so everyone is on the same page and in agreement. To ensure we stayed organized throughout the whole process, my groupmates held a meeting to go over aspects of the project such as different roles we could take and what we wanted to advertise in the video. We decided on doing a commercial for a MacBook and wrote up a small draft of what our commercial could potentially look like. I am excited about this project because my groupmates agreed on giving me a role as an actor, which is gonna be a new experience for me. Although I do not have much experience in acting, I feel like I will be able to improvise and learn more as we shoot throughout the day. Something I was worried about was the overall idea and appeal of our object because I originally felt that it was lackluster and didn't really give us much to work off of. After voicing my concern to my groupmates, they all heard me out and explained their creative ideas that they had already thought of when we chose our object. Their positivity and creativity helped me feel at ease because there were multiple brains attacking this task and making sure it would come out great. Since we only have the basics down so far, I feel like we haven't faced any obstacles as a group or clashed with each other since it is still early in the project. I am happy with everyone's mutual respect for each other along with their work ethic because we were able to agree and work on things quickly. The division of work was established at the beginning as well, so we all know where to contribute individually and as a team. We want to work on our storyboard and script more in-depth the next time we meet up so we can be prepared for the filming process. I hope that we are able to film everything within the time we are given and showcase our time management skills. One person in the group has decided to take on the role of editing, which I commend them for because I am horrible with computer logistics. If I had to do this commercial on my own I would have been overwhelmed because there are many roles that I would not have been able to fill. I am confident that we can complete this assignment with little to no problems if we plan things accordingly and stay on schedule. Mistakes and mishaps are bound to happen, but I believe that my groupmates are responsible and would correct these issues as soon as they happened. I know this commercial will be great because the production team behind it is working diligently to make sure things are being completed in an organized and timely manner!

Commercial Blog

          Hello everyone, I am proud to announce that my commercial is officially complete! This has been such an amazing learning experience and I am so excited to share the final product. This project has helped me enhance a series of skills I did not think I needed to sharpen such as my creativity, flexibility, and communication skills. Throughout the entire process of creating this commercial, I had to adjust to things quickly and work efficiently. At times, all of the work that had to be done felt overwhelming but my team encouraged me and kept me motivated. I am grateful to my amazing group for helping me every step of the way and maintaining clear communication with each other. It was really cool to be able to witness the production process up close because it made me aware of small details that appear in the final product. I feel that the commercial came out really well because of our attention to detail and perfectionist tendencies. I feel that I can de...

Our Pitch Blog

A girl is one of few to survive the zombie apocalypse. She runs into another non-infected human and they have to get through together. Our first pitch is unique from the commonly chosen ideas. It would help in showing off creativity and originality. While also providing a well-thought-out and evolved finished project. Although the mis-en-scene would be difficult to accomplish for any of the scenes. Zombie make-up and attire would have to research, bought, and learned. Plus the fact that none of us leave in an area that would suit this project whether that be a woods or generally dark area. It emphasizes the idea that this girl is one of the few, which would force us to need backup actors to play the zombies. Not only would we have to find multiple actors for only a few scenes, but we would also have to work around their schedule and pay extra supplies for their make-up and costume. A girl has been living her day-to-day alone, or so she thinks. Our second pitch is about from stalker...

Film Review

 The project is almost finished after a month of filming, re-filming, and editing. We are relieved and thankful that this project is nearly completed. The entire process of creating the video was enjoyable for us. Although some aspects, such as filming, were more challenging. The initial planning, storyboarding, and filming, in our opinion, were the best parts of the entire endeavor. Everyone was allowed to express their innovative thoughts here, and we all knew what to do. The editing process, on the other hand, was not as simple. Unfortunately, only one of our team members was capable of editing and assembling the music video. The rest of us had no choice but to sit and watch what our groupmate were doing. It appears that certain scenes will need to be reshot. It will need to be altered, whether because of the length of the lighting. The transitions in the editing must be examined and re-examined. I'm sure there are other alternatives that would better suit the film's story....
