Filming blog: The Final Showdown

 On Saturday March 12th, our entire team went out to film the rest of our scenes we didn't finish the first recording session. This time, we had everyone here, and since we had already finished most of the scenes already, it was time to finish the project. This time, we had Ethan pick up everyone at their houses and it was a long time as it took over an hour to get everyone. Once we did pick everyone up though, we immediately went to holiday park so we could properly film. I had also brought 3 swords this time instead of 1 because I knew that we were all going to use them. When we got there, we saw that our original filming spot was being taken to watch a girls soccer game. We debated about waiting or finding another spot, but after finding out it had just started we decided to find another spot. This time we chose the spot of an empty soccer field where we could film. We decided to start from the scene where Joker says "After him, Ren, Akira!" then showed Ethan and Sebastian running. Apparently, they didn't know how to run with swords so they ran like a bunch of fools which was funny. We kept filming for a while and one of the coaches came over to talk to us. He wanted to know what we were doing and he warned us about hitting the goal posts with the swords because Sebastian accidentally hit it. We kept going and eventually I defeated Sebastian and Ethan at swordsmanship. Jason mocked them and then we clashed and that was the final scene. We all celebrated and Ethan brought a soccer ball so we played some soccer. After that he dropped us home but then I said we forgot to do voice overs, but it was far too late to do it.  We promised to do it next time as the same time as the editing process. Overall, filming went very well for our team as we mostly had to do things in one take. I only wish we had more time in this video, because we had many ideas that we could have put into the video but were ultimately scrapped. The only part I see having difficulty with is the editing, because we filmed so much that I think that there is too much content for our video.

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...
