Production Blog: Thievery

 Filming blog


On Saturday, November 27th all 4 of us went out to film. Everyone came and we made sure to all wear the same clothing except for Sebastian and Ethan because they were not in the scenes we had filmed before. This time we started at scene 4, which was continuing the stalking with me and Jason. This time, we went near Sebastian's house because there were multiple neighborhoods near here which we had to use for jump cutting between different locations. Then we planned to go to a park so we can film scene 5. This scene had me leave my briefcase down on the ground found in the park, and leaving it to attend to something else (sleep), while Jason hides behind a tree staying out of sight. In scene 6, Jason went for the briefcase as you can see I'm throwing away something found in his hand. The shot found here will be a panning shot. We had also taken scene 7 and 8, where I notice my own briefcase getting stolen and I start to run after him. These two scenes we kept messing up but we made it work in the end. All this had taken around 3 hours of filming, because the most difficult part of this was getting to the places because we walked everywhere to the different neighborhoods and parks. For me personally it was getting annoying having to walk everywhere so I tried suggesting closer places but I was outvoted. Another problem we did face was trying to complete this before sunset because we wanted to make this our recording day where there would be no problems found. 


Editing blog


After we finished recording, we went to Sebastian's house so we could edit what we got so far. We used Jason's computer for this feat as it had all the other filming we had done the week before. So when we started editing, we immediately started to go through each video we made and started to see if they were good enough. We took multiple scenes so we could go back and look which one looked better to us. Once we found the ones that we liked best, we started cutting them to make them shorter by getting rid of all the other unnecessary parts found within. So once we got our video clips, we put them in the right order of whence we filmed. When we watched what we filmed so far, the whole video looked good, but we needed to make sure that our video had fit into the time frame because it was getting quite long. The editing process took around 20 minutes to get all the details sorted out.

Final Task

 This video took a lot out of my group. There was so much that we had to do and so many problems occured that there was nothing we could do for some of them. Even with all those issues, I honestly think that this is the best video we made yet. Although I can see the plot issues and mistakes we made, this video is the child of our hard work. This may not be the best there is, but I am proud of this video. So I think that to the viewer, instead of watching the video to judge, watch the video to enjoy. So thank you to all who helped us. Thank you group mates who I couldn't have done this without. And thank you, for enjoying the show.

 September 27th          Chad Johnson Our group that consists of Jason, Sebastian, and I will feature the Nintendo Switch and all its features. Now our commercial will start with the iconic nintendo switch intro. This is found on all of nintendo switch's commercial intros. It lasts around 2 seconds so this will not take up any filming time that we need. The next panel is where we look at the nintendo switch game menu. This menu will have to showcase to the viewer what the games you can play. In this scene, we will also be entering a game and showing small gameplay. The third scene will show us playing a game together with the screen. This scene is meant to showcase how everyone can play together at the same time. This scene can also show a game being played and what to do which is promoting both the console and the game. The fourth scene will showcase what the game will look like when the console is in handheld mode. This mode is when the controllers are in...

The Final Blog

 In our group consisting of Chad, Jason, and Sebastian, we'd say we did a great job. We have many scenes which has deviated from the original storyboard. The thing is, we created new ideas mid filming, which cause us to make a better commercial than planned. Next we have the filming, with only 2 real shots and the rest being in-game shots. These in-game shots combined with the perfect editing Jason did for each made this video great. The editing had clean transitions, music syncs, and much more than can appeal to all audiences. It almost seemed like a compilation of clips with an actual trailer to back it up. The first clips show Sebastian and Chad sitting next to each other playing their switches. This is the start of the story, as they're both playing around having a good time. The final scenes are with the Nintendo Switch being used, then put away for the day. This shows that the whole day was spent playing video games and the day finally ended with putting it away. As we pu...
