production blog- Updates

 This is officially my third production blog. Sadly since the last two we haven't had the chance to film again. We also decided to re-film everything we did on Sunday. This is because we got our lenses in the mail and they make our cameras have a better affect. This will help give our film the look that we're striving for. My teammates were hoping to film on Thursday which is early release. Sadly, because of communication problems i will not be able to attend, because of work. Eric cant do Fridays and Saturdays, and in the week Kerens mom an ddad wont be home to watch us. Spring break would've been the perfect time to film but Eric is happily going to new jersey to meet his girlfriend for the first time. Mya has also decided to spend her spring break to the best of her abilities and go somewhere with her family. I decided to invest more hours into work and Keren will be focusing on her studies. Spring break filming is officially out of the question. So last night i looked at the calendar and started brainstorming dates we could work on. Sundays was obviously a day we could all work on so i quickly checked those days on the calendar first.  Easter Sunday was the first weekend we would all be free after spring break. Due to this we all decided to film that day and get everything done. So we could film in the day and get more done i came up with a plan. By either putting up black curtains or taping paper to the wall we can darken the rooms were working in and give it the nighttime affect. So that means even if we can arrive early we can still get a lot done. The only scenes we would need during the night is the ones with us outside.

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...
