Production Blog- filming day continued

During the production of our Film "Secrets" we accomplished a decent amount. So far we only filmed 1 day which was last Sunday. When arriving in the morning we talked and ate before getting our makeup and wardrobe on. Eric wore a sweater and some jeans with a white dress shirt underneath. Keren and Mya on the other hand decided to wear cut blouses and and nice jeans. Me on the hand decided to go with a jean dress and black formal shoes. Our makeup was done to perfection and by around 4 or 5 o'clock we were ready to start filming. Since it wasn't dark outside we started by filming upstairs. Kc and Mya took about 20-25 minutes since we kept adjusting the camera angle and lines. Me and Eric took turns adjusting our camera angles and positions so we could better capture all the action. In all though the scene came out perfect and we moved on to film the first scene outside. The lighting was perfect due to the sun setting and within 15 minutes the first scene was successfully completed. We took a quick 10 minute pizza break before returning to outside and capturing the next scene which was us walking inside the house. This actually ended up taking the longest due to many reasons. I got very chilly and aggravated quickly due to being outside so long so i doubt anyone enjoyed reshooting so many times. After about 30 takes though we finally did a take that was good enough to be put inside the film. We next filmed the scene of successfully entering the house and going to our designated spots. This didnt take long and was the easiest part of the whole day. As soon as that was finished my mom called from outside to say she was here and ready to go. With that call we ended up finishing our shoot around 8 o'clock.

 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...
