Today my group filmed our commercial. We are making a commericial for abc mouse.com. We decided that i would be beset to film rthe scenes. I looked at the rubirc and made sure we were covering all the critiria included. I used many diffrent camera shots. I also used a pan movement multiple times. We strated to film outdoors in the senior patio. However, we had to move to the media center. When we got to the senior patio i made some of the props needed and brought out the storyboard. I then read the story board to my group to make sure we knew what we were doing. I recorde the first couple takes, befire another member of my group relized hte lighting outside was not good. So, we moved in doors to the media center. We reoeated the first couple steps there. I recorded all of the film that i was not acting in. I only had one scene whee i handed trevor my computer, and explained what abc mouse was. After recording all the videos i trimmed them on placed tehm next to each other on my phone.

My group is doing an ABCmouse commercial. In these commercials, the audience usually sees children learning on their computers through fun interactive lessons. The children in the commercials wear normal clothes. Props include computers, teddy bears/other children's toys. The appearance of the actors/students & parents are happy and excited representing the joy that ABCmouse.co brings to learning. The score through the commercial is upbeat instrumental music. The ads used eye level, over the shoulder and close-up shots. The ads use lots of animations. The ads also have many bright colors and cute animated characters to be appealing to look at. The ads show the price and use words like "only" to show how inexpensive it is 1. The conventions and codes in ABCmouse.com are popping colors, fonts, and characters. The mouse logo is also symbolically placed in the ad. 2. Shots in the commercial either are angled to show the site on the computer screen, t

First shot: in this opening shot, we use a close-up shot from a high angle focused on the failed test. The test is held in Trevor's hands, even though it may not be obvious. Second shot: We cut to a medium-long shot of Trevor's upper body, the lower covered by the desk. You can see the emotion on his face. He is clearly distraught from the grade he received. Third shot: still in the same camera position Trevor lowers his head to the table showing his sadness. Fourth shot: A fellow student walks behind Trevor and taps his shoulder. He askes Trevor if he needs any help. this is still taken from a medium camera length. Fifth shot: Trevor lifts his head and turns his neck to face the other student. He hand him a computer with Abcmouse.com displayed. He suggests that he should use it. Sixth shot: The camera cuts to an extreme close-up of a computer display screen showcasing Abc Mouse. There is a voice-over of the student explaining how ABC mouse helped him.

Props: because my group and I decided to make an ABCmouse.com commercial, we will need a phone with the website on it as our main prop, along with a test with a bad grade on it, a test with a good grade on it, a pencil, and some glasses. Because our commercial has dialogue between students and a teacher, we will all need to dress accordingly. Denton being the teacher will wear a button-down, Ayden will wear a T-shirt as well as Trevor. Denton will wear glasses and a fake mustache for his representation of a teacher, and Ayden and Trevor will dress normally. Schedule: 9/22/21 storyboard 9/24/21 film 9/28/21 edit Location list: The main setting of our commercial is the classroom seeing as the commercial deals with tests and teacher-student interactions. We will also film one shot in the hallway when the two students interact. Back up plan: because all of our scenes will either be shot inside or in a covered area, we do not need to worry about getting rained on. Because the noise that the

 My groupmates are Trevor Regli and Denton Greenleaf. Right away I knew I wanted to work with them. I met Denton in second grade, we had the same class in elementary school. I meet Trevor multiple years ago through soccer. My brother was on the same soccer team as him. We would meet at team dinner and after practice activities. We have became friends since then. Because we are good friends our personalities should not crash. We all like similar things. I believe we can easily come to agreements. I trust that everyone in our group will give their 50 cents, and do all the work. I believe that because each one of us posses different skill sets we should be ale to complement each other very well. I am a very good drawer and can help with the storyboard. Denton is very creative and can help with the ideas. And Trevor is very animated and could be a good actor. I also have experience with editing in the past, and sound mixing. We will be very productive as a group. And I am very excited to s

 Hello I am Ayden Marshall. I am a 15 year old student from Fort Lauderdale Florida. I have lived here all my life, but wants to move when I am older. I enjoying hanging out with my friends on the weekends. I have one sibling, my brother Luke who I love but can be annoying. In my free time I in enjoy listening, playing, and making music. Really, anything musically related. I can play multiple instruments, the main two being the guitar and saxophone. I also enjoy to produce music a lot. The music I make with my friend is classified in the genre "math rock". This despite the name, has nothing to do with math, it just means it uses abnormal time signatures. I also really enjoy movies. Almost every night me and my mom watch a new movie together. My favorite genre has to be thrillers or suspense. My favorite movies are City Of God, Whiplash, and Parasite. Out of the three City of God is my personal favorite. It is a Brazilian foreign film about the growth of organized crime in Rio
