Planning our Commercial

 Props:

We chose to do a BMW commercial. Our main prop is a BMW, other props may include a handheld sign and a racing suit. 

Costumes: 

The costume for the main character would be something business casual, showing a level of the class associated with the brand. The clothes shouldn’t be too formal but should be a slightly more relaxed business look. A dress shirt with pants and additional accessories is the main blueprint of the look. 

Schedule: 

On 9/27/22 our group researched and came up with ideas for an establishing shot and the rest of the film 

On 9/30/22 our group will finalize all props locations and necessary changes to the film 

On 10/3/22 our group will create the storyboard for the commercial  

On 10/6/22 our group will start recording our commercial  

On 10/13/22 our group will finish up by editing and making the final product presentable  

 

Location list:  

Our main location is a warehouse. At the warehouse, we will film the exigence shot of a well-dressed person getting in the car and starting it. This would show the elegance of the car but also the performance it is capable of. We would then film rolling shots of the car. This would show how the car is a smooth ride.  

Our second location would be a large parking lot or a spot where we could get the car high up. At this location, we would film the car from a low angle.  This shot would show that the cart is superior to others and represents the power it possesses.  

Our third possible location is an empty parking lot. At this location, we would film the car from a bird's eye view shot of the car driving. This would show the maneuverability of the car and why it is such a pleasure to drive. 

Backup plan: 

 If we cannot get the BMW during our recording time one of our groupmates has a toy BMW that we can work with and use toy props. If someone is missing during our recording, we have friends that are willing to record or act in our commercial. We also can go to a group member's house if we can't get to our other locations.

Sound Design

Image
 As a young filmmaker, I was always intrigued by the creative process of putting together a short film. I had experimented in several parts of filmmaking, but one area where I lacked experience was sound design. I had always imagined that sound in a film was simply added in post-production, but I quickly understood that it was much more than that. I immediately realized that sound is an essential component of the filmmaking process and may have a significant influence on the overall quality of the picture. With this revelation, I decided to take on the task of selecting sounds for my current short film production. The initial stage was to investigate and collect various sorts of sound effects that would be suitable for the film. I spent hours going through internet sound banks, looking for the right noises to complement the tone and mood of the picture. Once I got a selection of sounds that I believed would work nicely, I was ready to explore. I immediately realized that the placem...

Critical Reflection

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O0VTLlQLWBdyy2RgmPyYrZ3gUuE0eIcPHJsCuxOJ3Us/edit?usp=sharing The choices made by the main character represent a person of a lesser socioeconomic status. Due to his financial disadvantage, he must eat a non nutritious breakfast and work harder than others. Most people have full racing crews that take care of their cars for them, these cars may belong to a single driver or could be split between a team of drivers. The main character must take care of his car by himself. This is a reminder of the unequal distribution of resources and opportunities in society, where some people are fortunate enough to have access to riches and resources, while others find it difficult to get by. The main characters' dreams represent the luxuries someone of a higher socioeconomic status would have. You can see cars that are worth four to five times the amount of money as well as the ability they get to drive during the night. This is usually only allowed to be perfo...
