Music Blog

 In order to get the music pieces for the video, I emailed Jamie Christopherson for the licensing rights of the songs. The first song I chose is called "Carnival of Delights" and is a suspense piece of music. This piece of music, as you can tell from the name, is meant to be a horror version of a circus. Although our team and I knew this, we figured that we could make this song work for our video. It starts off with a catchy theme that makes it seem that something is off. It makes it seem like the character we are now seeing isn't exactly a good person. The truth is that he isn't, or wasn't. As the music grows louder and louder it brings more tension to the scene and makes everything seem serious from this point on. It then tones down and fades away leading to conflict point that Drake must go to. Our second song is called "Zero Gravity" which is an action piece. This piece of music is meant to show the conflict in action and make the scene even more serious. This is when Drake starts to take action by preparing and then fighting Joker. The start of the song is a buildup which is used to show Drake preparing for the battle for his sister. The song goes on and it gets more and more impactful to show how serious Drake is about this issue. Then it brings an evil theme into it where the villain is confident where he will win. The music continues and a heroic theme starts to play to represent Drake. Then a theme plays where it seems like a desperate struggle to get his sister back from Joker. As it fades out, it shows no sign or getting better for Drake, and only brings more questions than answers. Overall these two songs were meant for each other as one brings the suspense in the start. The other one compliments this one well by bringing the action in the 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...
