 today i filmed my commercial. I was helping my friend and her group and they helped me with some shots. i brought all the things I needed, including a notebook, pencil, phone and headphones. my friends were also in one of the shots, playing background characters and a person walking down a hallway. i got all of my shots done today. I changed a few filming locations, due to weather and lighting. there were people in the backroad so I was sure to angle the camera away and get as little unwanted noise out. since one of my shots was supposed to take place in a loud hallway, i left most of the noise in. my highlighter had clear polish over the tip so that it didn't mark anything incase i needed to do a retake. I didn't use a tripod, because I didn't need one. most of my shots were moving. a few were overhead. the process took 1 hour and 30 minutes. was able to complete the whole filming process in the class period. I had decided the music i wanted to open in the app ahead of ti...

 for my commercial I am doing a Spotify. in these videos people are usually sitting down, taking part in what seems to be an interview about how they use the Spotify duo plan, or a series of clips of someone using it in daily activates. the clothes are usually casual and lazy like sweaters, jeans, t-shirts, and sweatpants. props can be a couch, table, a phone, headphones. their appearance is usually calm, an comfortable, maybe a bit of camera makeup because it is a calm environment. there is usually no background music, or a light happy theme to help the audience enjoy the commercial. conventions and codes could include the Spotify logo or the name, it is well known and people recognize it. the commercials are noticeable because of the logo that is well known. the commercials sometimes include famous people, to increase popularity.

 For my commercial project, I am working alone. I wanted to work in a group but I don't really know anyone. I chose to do an AD for Spotify. I enjoy listening to music so it will be fun. I am a bit worried about the editing because I've never done it before. I would much rather work with someone. I feel that it would be more fun. It might lighten the work load as well. I will probably finish faster. I tend to do better alone on projects. I feel like I might get bored so I want to try and find a group next class. I'm super excited about the filming part. That looks like it was fun to do from looking at the examples. I pretty much have an idea in my head for the most part. it might be a bit difficult to get certain angles without a partner. I also think that the project might need more than one actor. I'm ready to start my story board. I am looking forward to that. I enjoy drawing so that's good. I'm gonna see if anyone else wants to do the project together if tha...
