Aleve Liquid Gel Caps Commercial


This is my commercial.  This commercial was my first big project.  I put in a lot of work to complete all of the necessary steps.  I didn't work with a team on it because of online schooling and the Coronavirus.  However, I was still able to complete it on time and without problems.  This is mostly because of help from my family.  My family was very supportive and helpful, especially for the filming process.  They helped me film, brainstorm, and prepare props.  Without them, I would not have been able to make the commercial how I wanted it.  

One part of the commercial that I am proud of is the filming.  It only took me only one day to film but, I think that's plenty of time.  It took me multiple takes of each shot.  This was to ensure each shot would look continuous and satisfactory.  Unfortunately, I couldn't act in all the shots.  This was because I had to work alone on the assignment and thought I would do better behind the camera than in front of it.  
 
This commercial was the first editing project I have ever had to do.  Thanks to help from my teacher and peers, I was able to learn how to edit.

Overall, I am satisfied with my commercial being my first ever filming project.  I put in a lot of thought and work into all of the steps.  Looking back, there are quite a few things I could have improved on.  However, I am proud of my first project because it exemplifies the progress I have made and will make in this class.

Planning Storyboard for my Music Video

Image
  These are roughly the 12 "parts" of the music video divided into scenes, all about 5 seconds long each. 1. The video will start with the main character coming out of the front door with his dog on a leash next to him. This will be the instrumental first 4 seconds before the lyrics start. 2. The first scene will cut to a wide shot of the street, panning and following the boy and the dog walking. This second scene will begin right when the lyrics start, and the camera will focus to a shadowy figure in the background. 3. This shadowy figure comes from off screen and grabs the leash from their hands, running away with the dog. They cannot stop this from happening as they are in shock at what happened. 4. This scene is just a zoom in of the main character who mouths "NOOOO" into the sky. At this point the shadowy figure has run off, and it has left him in great despair. 5. The scene fades to a black and white flashback of the dog, doing normal activities such as w...

Production: Finalizing Scene Plans

Image
 Spring break has just finished for our class and school is starting again after a week break.  Even though there was no school, my partner and I still put work in to our project.  However, we could not start the filming.  Both my partner and I wanted to start filming.  Unfortunately, we couldn't film.  During spring break, my partner, Nicholas, went on a trip with his family and was out of town.  Similarly, our friends who are helping us act were also out of town for a few days.  On the bright side, this gave us more time to iron out all the details.  The extra planning we have done will definitely improve our final product.  Since Nicholas was out of town, we called each other to discuss the filming process.  Specifically, we discussed how we would the more difficult scenes.  The first scene in our intro will be rather complicated.  In it, we will film a close up of a ringing phone and slowly zoom out while tracking some...

Planning: Storyboard

Image
  There are 7 scenes total in the storyboard. The dialogue between the script and storyboard vary because it is not finalized. There are different directions that we could approach with dialogue. We could make it more general and simplistic, but it might feel too on the nose. Camera angles could also be changed in the future.
