AICE Media Studies

Today our group started filming! We all had individual jobs and tasks. For the first clip my role was to be the person bumping into Parker so she spilled her drink. We were all in the shot so we had a friend film it. I walked down the stairs and bumped into Parker. After that, my role in the video was over. I was the person behind the camera now. I filmed shots of Maria and Parker interacting, and experimented with different angles and shots. I zoomed in and out and experimented with the best way to capture them both. I filmed the next shot and focused on Maria walking up to Parkers discarded wrapper, and zoomed out as she walked to get them both in frame. After that we filmed a point of view shot from Marias eye view. I stood behind her and held the camera at her eye level so we could see her folding the wrapper. It was fun for me to find the best angle. Throughout all of this filming I was helping with props and planning. I helped with Parkers extra shirt that she spilled on. I also

Slide one: In this opening clip, we will have two students in frame. Using a full body shot, one is standing with a smoothie in their hand and the other is briskly walking right towards them. In the background you can see the stairs behind the students. The actor walking will not be paying attention.  Slide two: In the second slide, the two students collide and the kid with a smoothie spills it on themselves. The one with no smoothie continues walking, and the one who spilled pauses for a moment. They try to clean themselves off and fail. They are visibly annoyed. The character on the stairs behind them witnesses this encounter. Slide three: In this we see our student with smoothie all over them, defeated. They reach into their backpack for a piece of gum. They open the gum and throw the wrapper over their shoulder behind them, aiming for the trash. The wrapper misses and falls next to the trash can. In the background we can see someone reach the bottom of the stairs. Slide four: T

Props The props we are planning to use will be Extra Gum, smoothie, and a cup. Costumes In our commercial one group member will be dressed in a white t-shirt so they can spill a smoothie on themselves. The other group member will have school clothing on.  Schedule: On 9/20/21, our group researched commercials, and began planning out commercial and brainstorming ideas. On 9/22/21, we established the props, costumes, schedule, location list and backup plan. On 9/24/21, we will complete our storyboard for the 30 second commercial. On 9/30/21 and 10/4/21, our group will start filming all of the clips we need the necessary shots for our commercial.  On 10/6/21 and 10/8/21, we will edit and add finishing touches to our commercial. Location Our commercial will be filmed by the stairs in front of the media center. We will have one of our actors walk by the stairs and spill a smoothie on themselves. The other actor will be walking down the stairs observing the first actor.  Backup Plan In case

  My group is doing an Extra Gum commercial. Music is included, often with an upbeat mood.  The commercials send a positive message. There are not usually any words said. The commercial ends with the phrase “Give Extra, Get Extra” In the commercials, there often is a tracking shot used to follow a character in a scene. In the background, there is usually the Extra Gum. This shows that it is an Extra commercial.  In Extra commercials they try to tell a story with their product uniting characters. They don’t just show the product outright. Two-shots and three shots are commonly used. One character often is holding the gum while the other(s) are on the side.  Extra Gum

 My group for the commercial project consists of three people. Maria Koehl and Parker Merrick are my two group mates. We picked this group for multiple reasons. The first being, we work well together. We all happen to be on the same soccer team, so we know how teamwork goes. Even though a school assignment is very different from a soccer field, we are confident we will do very well. We all have talents that will contribute to the project. Maria for example, is an excellent artist and visionary. She will help our story board come to life. Of course with the help of Parker and I, however our strengths don't lie in drawing in the way Marias do. However, Parker and I both love editing and film. We have both partaken in these activities on our own juts for enjoyment. If needed to pick, I would say my strengths lie more in editing, while Parker in film. Our combined knowledge on almost all of the components in this project will serve to our advantage. Lastly, one of the greatest strength

 My name is Siena Pancera, I am fifteen years old. I was born in south Florida and have grown up here for my whole life. Most of my family is from Brazil and I'm lucky enough to see them a lot. I go to Fort Lauderdale High school and I am currently in the tenth grade. My favorite subject to study is probably science, I like the idea of making discoveries and experiments. I also love English because I enjoy the literature portion of it. I live with my parents and my older sister Tess just left for college. I have a cat, his name is Leo and he is almost a year old. I play full time on a club soccer team outside of school. However, when the school soccer season rolls around I also play there. Its a sport I really enjoy. I met a lot of friends that way, and gained some useful habits through playing. Besides soccer, I also have a hobby of making jewelry. Even if that sounds silly, it's a part of me and something I really enjoy doing. I also love to bake and read. Both of these are t
