Research blog: Commercial Conventions

Image
My Real Techniques lighting Miracle Face and Body sponge commercial falls under the category of makeup. In this type of commercials, the audience usually sees a person applying a product to their face or body. There is an assortment of conventions used in makeup commercials. For example, close-ups, pannings, great lighting, makeup, voiceovers, and vanities are some commons conventions.  The costumes are neutral and cool or warm town colors. There are no logos and usually include a t-shirt and some form of pants. Dresses are also commonly worn in these commercials. Costumes are lightly used in these commercials.

For instance, makeup brushes, sponges, eyeshadows, etc. Each prop is new and metallic which compliments each other. Other props may include household items such as a clear cup, flower, or jar. Th...

Genre Research: Thriller and Drama

  For my other two genres I choose to research Thriller and Drama. I wanted something similar to horror yet very different so these were the perfect chooses.

They show character may be headed or what kind or person the character is. Some elements in a thriller film. Are suspense, excitement, tension. Thrillers can take place anywhere, at anytime, to anyone. On the flip side, the genre is quite different th...

Filming for my commercial

Image
       Filming for my commercial was an interesting experience. I worked by myself for this project so everything came straight to my head. Initially, I wanted a simple tutorial type of commercial. However, my ideas changed once I started to research more about these types of commercials. After research, I then knew what I wanted.       On Saturday, the 31st I officially started the filming. I took one day to shoot and film everything and did so in about 15 takes. I had to make sure my lighting was perfect in every shot to make the commercial look professional. Also, I made are every angle showed only necessary items and not a crowded background. Strategically I filmed all my shots on my vanity at the peak of dawn where my window gets the perfect amount of natural lighting. This made my vanity shots look very uniform and soft.  Additionally, for certain takes that required both of my hand in the shot, I asked my Mom for assistance on holding ...
