Research and Planning Blog

 When I am deciding what pictures or content in general, I want for my commercial I think of it being entertaining as possible. I try to look for pictures with vibrant colors that will catch the attention of watchers. I would also try to keep with current trends as too not seem out of touch and up to date with what people want to see. I will try to pick songs from artist that are currently popular but also relevant with the feeling I am trying to get the watcher to feel. The videos will be relevant to the topic, but they will also be as entertaining as possible to avoid the video being boring. I can try to incorporate my commercial with current memes or trends going on to make it seem more relevant. The main thing I focus on for photos is making sure they haven't been used before in other commercials. This is to avoid any risk of plagiarism and make my commercial more unique. This process will also be used for videos but only depending on which video I use. For example, if I use a music clip or movie clip that another commercial also used it wouldn't be plagiarism. For songs, I would use songs that are most popular most of the time since its reliable, but it might also be more unique to use lesser-known songs. I would use songs that are more popular where I am from like El Salvadorian and Puerto Rican songs. This would also apply to photos and videos since I prefer these videos when talking about me. It will also be good to express my culture since even though Pureto Rico is a US territory its vastly different compared to the rest of the US. Same with El Salvador which is an entirely different and vibrant country. I would use a lot of pictures from my hometown San Juan in Pureto Rico since it's a beautiful area. I would have to pick songs from Pureto Rico in English however, since a lot of them curse, I would have to pick clean versions. Main issue being that better Pureto Rican songs have a pretty high amount of curse words or are in Spanish which a lot of people don't understand. Videos would be easy to find though since there's a lot of music, food, trailing videos for Pureto Rico that express my culture very well. Same with photos because there are plenty of areas in Pureto Rico that are very beautiful and documented by me and others. The only bad part about Pureto Rico is since it's a small island its very cramped meaning I have to go further out to get good photos. I plan to do all these things at least a little in my commercial just to be more unique and differentiate myself from others.

 As of today Me, Daniel, Jacob, and Myles will be working together for our music video. We will have to find good days to meet up since we don't exactly live near each other. We also have to manage our time, so we won't have to do everything last second. Together as a group we decided to do the song "Yesterday by The Beatles." It's a beautiful short song that represents as a general our types of music. It's also a older popular song so it's pretty easy to recognize. We decided to separate our work, so we don't all have to do stuff separately to save time. My friend Myles will be the cameraman since he has the best camera and prefers not to be in the video. Since The Beatles music videos are very chill and relaxing so will our music video recreation. Daniel will buy resources for us to use to make the music video higher quality. Jacob, Me, and Daniel will all be in the music video assigned to different roles. Depending on what we choose we will also hav...

Production Blog - Almost done

 We finally managed to finish all the scenes. We only had to redo three scenes that were only flashbacks. Together we only had to redo 2 scenes which were fairly easy to redo. I bought myself a guitar so I could film the tree scene better since the guitar I used before sucked. I bought a rental guitar for a day and just used it as a prop. I also changed my outfit since it didn't really match with anyone else. The editing was finished and wasn't that hard to do since we only needed to stitch everything together. My friend Daniel did most of the difficult editing and even then, it wasn't that hard. We made sure to double check everything to make sure nothing was bugged. For one scene we noticed a bit of an audio bug, but we just hid that with outside sounds. I also decided to cut out a scene that wasn't the right camera angle that we wanted. The camera made it a lot easier to film the scenes since there was no static. The only hard part about refilming was finding good da...

 Location of scene: Woods/Main Area     Daniel: I can't believe you guys made me come. You know I don't like anything resembling horror.     Mario: Don't be such a crybaby, it's just trees and animals. What's the worst that can happen?     Mario: Now come on, you and Jayden go find some sticks for the campfire.     Daniel: Umm- I guess so.     Location of scene: Deeper in woods     Jayden: Oh yeah, I probably should have mentioned this before we came along, but there's actually a rumor about this place.     Daniel: Excuse me? You're not serious are you? What's the rumor?     Jayden: I've heard there have been a lot of disappearances around these woods. Locals says there is some killer hanging his victim on trees. And that you can see the ghosts of the people buried here, haunting the area, making bizarre noises.     Daniel: What the heck is wrong with you guys bringing me to a place like this?...
