Commercial Video

When we started working on the Commercial project, personally I was a little worried as it was my first big project for this class. We had some limitations with this project, for example we weren't allowed to leave the school campus for this project, we weren't allowed to have watermarks, meaning that we couldn't have a logo or prints going over our video. We also had a very strict dress code imposed by our teacher and this made it harder for our group to all wear the same colour clothes so that we would look more professional for the video. Our idea for the project was to do an anti-vaping educational commercial because we thought that since we had to be on campus and vaping is a big issues in our educational system the two events were related to each other. A goal for our commercial was also to bring up the problems vaping causes and how teenagers nowadays are addicted to it. When we started drawing our story board we had to change some of the ideas we came up with because we didn't have the equipment to do it. We wanted to have our opening scene and establishing shot as a drone shot, meaning recording the school with a drone. Unfortunately, the drone that we thought of using, wasn't working and it needed some reparations. Once we were done story boarding and planning everything out we signed out a camera, a tripod, and an SD card. We had some problems setting up the camera on the tripod because we were missing a piece and it took us a while to figure that out. In my group we had four participants and at the beginning of the project we were all cooperating with each other, but unfortunately one of our group members got very sick and she wasn't able to help us with the majority of the work. This created some tension and panic in our group because some of us thought that it was too hard to shoot with only three people. Luckily we had one of our friends that took the class a couple years ago, help us record some of the scenes. After we were done filming our group member that was still sick and stuck at home helped us with the editing process. This cleared the air in between our group and we were all done with the commercial. I was glad I had those hard working people in my group, and because we all worked hard things went very well.
