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 ...

My Music Video

  It's done! I am so happy that I finished this amazing project. I ran into some problems along the way but all in all, I am happy with the outcome. The only thing I am a little disappointed in is the quality of my video. It was all good until it came to upload my video onto Youtube. However, this is a learning experience to also keep the quality of any project at top priority.  This entire process took about 1 week if you don't count the days that I did nothing. I had a lot of fun with this and will 100% do it again if I have any free time. One way I think I could've improved was with the number of people in the music video. I originally planned for about four people to be in it but I ended up with one. But, you have to work with what you got. Luckily, I was able to film and edit with what I had and I am grateful for that. My favorite part of the film was the car shots. I can't really explain it but recording those shots was so intriguing. One of my favorite parts to e...

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. This is because, with too much, the focus can shift from what you're supposed to actually be looking at to something unrelated. Props are heavily used in Real technique 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...
