Planning our location, sound, schedule, and health was something we took a long time working out. We wanted to make sure everything was both executed properly while staying safe during this pandemic. So when thinking of a location to shoot at we decided it would be better to either do it in an open place or at a place we would be comfortable. When Kc ended up offering up her house though, we realized it would be perfect for the outline of our film. Because of this Keren's house became the location for our film. Since we aren't a big production company we are going to film ourselves with what we have. Since we won't all be in the same shot we will take turns being the camera men.

Not all of us are good at editing though. So it didn't come as a shock when some of us declined the job of editing all our scenes. Eric and Maya ended up taking the job though, and since they are actually good at it everything worked out fine. 

To go on, since it was a group project all our ideas were used. Due to this the rights to be director couldn't be decided. Everyone contributed equally up until now, so choosing one person was out the question. So all of us took the role. 

Keren really wanted to be our makeup artist because she's really passionate about it. Furthermore it would help her practice her skills, and since no one else wanted it the job it went to her. 

Now since covid is the biggest obstacle in our way, we thought long and hard about how to stay safe while meeting the demands of Cambridge. We figured that having someone watch over us could somewhat keep us out of harms way. Since we are filming at Kerens house, her parents offered to watch over us and make sure we stay safe. Their kindness and understanding of our situation ultimately made our entire process easier.

Production Blog- filming day

 This blog will go over our first filming day which was on March 7th. To start off the morning i had to get up at 8:30 so i could reach Kerens house by 10 o'clock. Even with this extremely early wakeup call though i still arrived 20 minutes late. Upon arrival i realized that only me and Eric were the only ones who arrived, Mya was missing. Mya let us know that our amazon package didn't arrive at our house yet, and we needed it to film since it had our camera lenses. She said if it wasn't there soon she would start driving around to different stores in hope of finding one similar. After an hour of prepping to film with Mya still not arriving Kerens mom decided that Mya should just start coming over to the house while we drive two minutes away to the Best Buy to see if it was there. While it wasn't there we did find something similar we could use and decided that dividing the bill three ways was just something we would have to end up doing. By the time Mya arrived we had ...

  1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? My commercial challenged conventions by exaggerating them throughout the video. Things such as theme, characters, plotlines, and mood are all used to help make a fun and family friendly atmosphere commercial. For example, including clips of my dog at the different points of the day gave the commercial a more home vlog vibe, which is what a lot of families like to do. My video helps to talk mostly animal lovers and families. It also addresses issues about finding the perfect dog collar, one that won't irritate her or other animals.   2. How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text? My product engages with the audience by talking directly to them throughout the entire video. This is shown by me putting words on the screen each time a new clip started. And using words such as “your” so the person knows I'm talking directl...
