Production Blog - Getting everything I need for the commercial.

 Hello! Today I will be talking to you about what I did to get ready for the commercial. In order to film for the commercial, we needed props, so I first went to the dollar store to see what they had and so I can save money. All they had was a rainbow basketball which wasn't going to do the job for us as we needed to be official with the sports balls as we are marketing the commercial towards athletes. So, after I headed to the Publix nearby to get the Gatorade. At Publix, the blue Gatorade was on sale so I opted to buy that one. We didn't find any other props at Publix. Next, I went to Target to see if they had anything. I needed a football and tennis balls. When I checked the sports section, Target had a leather red and black football which I bought. I had also seen a bag of 16 Tennis Balls on sale at Target, so I had gotten those too. The rest of the props I needed was a Tennis Racket, Basketball and Football Gloves. I will borrow a Tennis Racket from a neighbor who plays tennis, I have a Basketball at home and I had gotten Football gloves from a player at a football game. I have all of the props. For the costume, I would need to buy a sports shirt, which I do not have. I went to Ross and saw a cheap Under Armor sports shirt, I decided to buy that. For filming, Lucas, my partner, will use his phone to record. We will be using my computer to edit as well. We plan to film at a local park which has everything we need for the project. A track, football field, basketball courts... It has everything we need. Anyways, we will be filming on the 12th unless it rains. Stay tuned for the next blog!

Critical Reflection

How do your products represent social groups or issues?     Our product illustrates how social groups are represented by presenting two guys of younger age and lower socioeconomic status who take on a camping trip. As soon as they finish setting up the campsite, they decide to explore the surrounding area of the campground, while doing so, Jean (white shirt) brings up a story of a person who had gone missing while exploring the same parts which he had read online. Riley responds that Jean is being ridiculous. Jean then further elaborates that the missing person was a child they once knew. Social groups are represented in the film as camping as a vacation is representative of a person who is young and of a lower socioeconomic class, which defines the two boys. The social issue of kidnappings or missing persons is also represented as young people are common victims to kidnappings and that missing persons reports garner very little attention in news media which explains...

Group Blog

 For an assigned group project, I was given the task to figure out who to choose as a group member for my group. I had many options on how many people I wanted in a group and I chose to have 1 other person in my group, as it reduces confliction and we can always recruit more actors. It is worth telling you that this is a project to simulate the production of a commercial for a chosen brand. I had many choices for who I would group up with. My original choice was to group up with a different friend but he was already in a group of 5, which seemed like too much to handle. I eventually chose my old friend Lucas. He has many notable specialties in production that work out perfectly for the group. Lucas and I have known each other since middle school. During middle school, we worked on a couple assignments together, so this is nothing new or uncomfortable. Lucas has positive energy and is very hardworking as well as productive. So, after realizing Lucas' background with me and with acad...
