Mr. Split Final



Throughout  this project there were many ups and downs. I had to deal with moody actors, rotten bananas, and lack of time. Eventually I got everything together and my project was successful even though everything didn't turn out as planned.  I initially wanted the actors to switch off but I Instead used one person. The location I set for one of the scenes was also changed. It was extremely hard to squeeze my commercial into 30 seconds, but I somehow managed. I learned a lot through this project and had a lot of fun filming and editing this commercial

Research Blog: Music Video Conventions

Image
                                                   In general, music videos contain multiple components that deliver the lyrics of the song through a visual outlook. Common conventions in a music video are long shots, close ups, and mid shots. Close ups are most common out of the three, as it is the clearest way to deliver the emotions of a character in a music video as well as to help the audience understand the plot of the video better. Since this is a music video there will be a lack of dialogue and therefore a lack of context, which will have to be made up for through the facial expressions and actions of those in the video which can be best captured through close ups. Not all music videos tell a story but regardless, close up shots remain very common. Tilts, tracking, and pans are among the many camera movements that can be found in a music video.  ...

Planning for my Music Video

Image
                                         Since the song I chose falls into the romance category for music, I will be using two individuals to display a struggling love. I plan to use my dog Faye and my cousin’s hamster Kevin. The song I chose is called tyl by Kakie. The song discusses struggling young lovers, with one party filled with hope to make the relationship work but faced with the constant disappointment provided by the other party. She describes a hope for easy young love is while simultaneously facing the reality that it is not possible, at least not anymore.     Location Due to limited locations caused by our current situation, I only plan to film in a few places. I will film in neutral areas of my house (in front of a wall/couch), at the beach, and there'll be a few shots outside (sidewalk or grassy area). I will have a space set up that will be covered ...

Planning Storyboard for my Mr. Split Bananas commercial

Image
Scene 1- For the 1st scene I wanted to establish a common scenario of an everyday person. I will shoot a person in regular clothes sitting on a couch occupied with their phone, before craving a snack and reaching for a banana from the bowl set on the table in front of them. I utilized the Filming Technique of Alfred Hitchcock; Information to create suspense. The audience was aware of the Banana stealer lurking in the back, but the character was not. These scenes established suspense to lead up to the conflict in the next scene.   Scene 2- Scene 2 is where the conflict begins. The banana stealer jumps out of hiding and steals the banana before running out of the house.   Scene 3- The character will be in distress over the crime that occurred in her living room. Pleading for help Mr. Split hears her cries and appears to her rescue. He reassures her that everything will be alright then takes off into a sprint after the thief.   Scene 4- The chasing sequence will ...
