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 everything we would need and started to get ready. Kerens dad brought us cuban pastries as a snack while we worked on our makeup. Keren was our only makeup artist so she did not only Mya, Erics and my makeup but also hers. This took awhile so while she was doing someones makeup the other two would get dressed or watch TV. The makeup process was probably the longest, taking about 2-3 hours to complete. It worked out perfectly since we needed the sun to go down before filming most of the scenes. For future reference though we might put dark colored paper on the windows to give it that nighttime affect, and we could have more time to film. Since we could only film at night we didn't get much scenes done, only about 1-2. Furthermore, Eric and Mya both have spring break plans so we cant film when we have no school. We know the only way is to film now. We plan on trying to film again on Sunday and maybe Thursday or Friday before the break starts. Hopefully we can figure something that fits all our schedules.

  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...
