Planning for my Bang Commercial

Props: 

The commercial is for Bang Energy Drinks, so that will be the main prop. Other props include: a soccer ball, basketball, watch, computer, paper, and pencil.


Costumes: 

I will be wearing various costumes depending on the scene. I will wear pajamas in the opening scene to show that I am tired and unmotivated. When I decide to go for a run I will wear a simple running outfit. I will then wear a basketball jersey when I am playing basketball. After I go to play soccer I will wear a soccer outfit. I will be wearing running shoes, or cleats in the film. I might wear a headband so that my hair doesn't get in my face. I will wear a watch when running. 


Schedule: 

On 10/21, I brainstormed ideas for my commercial, and researched conventions.

On 10/22, I established a main idea for the structure of the commercial, consisting of the props, costumes, settings, props, and alternative ideas. 

On 10/24, I will create a storyboard for my commercial, plotting out each of the scenes and cutting things out that won't fit in the 30 seconds, so that I can prepare for filming.

On 10/26, I will begin filming and try to get all necessary and wanted shots for the commercial. If I can't get every shot in one day, I may film the next day as well. 

On 10/28 I will edit all of the shots and put all of the footage together, creating the final product. This may take a long amount of time to get right considering all of the elements. I will begin editing whenever I have time after filming is complete ideally.


Location List:

My ideal location will be Bayview Drive Park, because they have soccer goals and basketball hoops there, and there is a track that I can run on. I will film a long exposure shot off me running the track, and speed it up to make it look like I am running very fast. I will take footage of me shooting on the soccer goal, blasting in every shot. I will also take footage of me making every shot I take on the basketball court, and exaggerate the amount of energy I have by chasing every ball and doing the most at all times. I may use cuts of me in a different outfit as a comparison to a normal person.

My backup location would be inside my house, filming me doing work on my computer and on paper and pencil or reading books and stuff super fast. Or another idea would be that I could go to the gym, where I am protected from the rain and work out at extreme measures after taking the drink. This way, no matter what the circumstance is, I have no excuse not to get the footage I need to make a good commercial.


Backup Plan: 

If the weather is not ideal to go to the park, my backup plan is to go to the gym that my friend and I use occasionally. I could also stay home and just act out that I'm doing homework and other stuff, but most people take energy drinks to be more active physically, so I'd prefer to do the project on that. I have a tripod that I can set up almost anywhere if I do not have somebody to film me.

Planning Storyboard for my Bang Commercial

Image
 First Scene -  The picture will open on me being on my computer, clearly lacking energy and cranky. This scene will take place in my room, and will be an over-the-shoulder shot, in order to capture myself and what is happening on the screen. The shot will zone in, shifting focus onto my screen. Then, an ad pops up for the mysterious Bang energy. I will then accidentally order it trying to click away.  Then the doorbell rings to my surprise. Second Scene -  The next scene will be me opening the door to see who or what is there. Upon opening it, I notice the Bang energy at the door and shout to whoever left it there. I look around and then pick it up off the ground. Not seeing anyone, I examine it, look back up, and scoff. I will be wearing pajamas to emphasize that I wasn't planning on doing anything outside. Third Scene - In this scene, the camera will be at the back corner of my room. I will throw the drink down and sit back down to do work. Clearly unmotivate...

Production Blog: Finished Editing

Image
 I am happy to say that I have finished the editing process. My project is now complete. I may now rest in peace, knowing that I did everything I could. Looking over everything, it is perfect the way it is. I spent a lot of time on the titles. They took up more time than I anticipated. They stretched way past when I wanted. They ran long, but they weren't as distracting as I thought. Because a lot happens in a short amount of time, it is hard to really focus on the titles. Next I put filters on everything. They weren't too dramatic but made it easy to tell when the monster's POV was on. I put dark guitar over the entire movie. I split the music up at parts and adjusted the volumes. I did this so that you could hear the dialogue and other background noises. I added in growling when necessary. I added a voiceover of my mom yelling my name. I shortened most of the walking clips down. I sped up most of the clips involving walking or movement. I added in a slowly fading scream a...

Planning Blog: Titles

Image
 The opening credits will showcase bold, all cap letters in a typical, readable font. IT WILL LOOK LIKE THIS.   There will be a title accrediting everyone involved for every establishing shot I take. They will go against the background, contrasting very visibly. The working title will be displayed at the end of the establishing shots, as the scene closes in on the house and flickers to nighttime. The credits will follow the same, but the establishing shots will be at night with a contrasted white text. The working title as of now is The Red Phantom. It will appear in red at the end of the beginning credits like this THE RED PHANTOM. The titles will remain up for about 2-3 seconds each. The last one, the working title will display for about 5 seconds. All of the titles will be centered on the screen. The names will be in a slightly different font than the titles. The working title will be larger and in different, bolder font than the rest of the titles. There will be an upbeat ...
