Invention Commercial

Last Monday at G.T, we were watching the commercial videos my classmates have made. In our team, our main goals is to explain how our invention works without confusing our audience, and to also entertain them with some jokes we added in our script. For an example, our homeroom teacher mrs. Fujimoto agreed to be Tierra's grandma even though she is not, which made the whole class burst into laughter. Even mr. Sanderl when we were about to upload it!




I think the best team moment during the production, was when we were filming the part when I threw the flower at Christina. I think it was the best team moment because we really bonded and had fun. Plus, we all laughed when we watched myself (in point of view) throwing a flower at Christina, while she tries to dodge it. Another great team moment during the production, was when we filmed Tierra standing next to our homeroom teacher, mrs. Fujimoto. This scene was also was very funny and was fun to film with my team.




During post-production editing, we took turns on different jobs like, events, visuals,and audio. I mostly did the events, Tierra did visuals, and Christina did audio. Overall, I think this is one of my best projects and I think it was a great idea to be partners with Tierra and Christina.I hope you liked this blog post. Also, I hope you guys will have a great Thanksgiving. Bye!

Composition Scavenger Hunt

Hi guys it's Hailee with another dorky post! Last week, I did a Composition Scavenger Hunt with my friends Christina and Tierra.

Their is 20 different kinds of composition techniques but, we all only got 10 composition techniques to film depending on what our team number was. In this project we had to make a video on some filming techniques using objects from school. I think the most important composition technique is contrast in content. This is my opinion because it draws the viewers eye to the subject by color, shape, or objects. In my opinion, I think it's a great way of capturing a pop of color in everyday life.
To be honest, I think the most difficult composition technique is forced foreground. Even though I did not film this technique, I saw the videos my classmates made and then I noticed some of them had a hard time filming the object they were holding. Instead of the camera focusing on the object they were holding, the camera was focusing on the person holding that object. Forced foreground is one of the composition techniques I have learned. You can use this technique more by placing the camera as close as you can to the object.

For this project, we would alternate who would film, who would read, and who would be the actor. I was mostly the actor even though I filmed a lot and explained how to use that composition technique. Tierra would mostly film and speak and Christina would sometimes speak. I personally think we could of done better by using pad because some of our clips were cut off. Some shots we can approve on is Rule of Thirds scenery, Leading lines, and Framing.Even though we need to improve some of these techniques, I think this was a great project and was very fun to do. I hope you liked this blog post and make sure you check out Tierra and Christina's blog. Bye!
