Creative Critical Reflection

How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? This commercial is targeted towards anyone with underlying medical conditions that could lead to constant uncontrollable headaches, specifically those who seek a solution to this condition. The commercial primarily advertises a product that is meant to fix these issues. The main goal of the commercial is to get the targeted audience to buy the product advertised by making a convincing plea that the product is worth buying. Migraines are an issue in many people's lives and this advertisement is an attempt at reaching this audience, and their wallets. It challenges the convention of the common issue of migranes by offering a solution. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text? Audiences should be engaged through the relatability of the situation the characters in the commercial are in. The main character begins by having a headac...

Filming: Rehearsal Pt.1

The date of filming is soon approaching. In preparation for the day we are going to film, our group of actors and filmers all got in a call and went over the scenes. In this call we discussed each scene and how it will be carried out when we go to film. We explained to our actors what they had to do during their screentime. SCENE 1- Picking up the phone and the phone call We will have the camera start facing down on the table, and it will stay there a little after for the title card to show in post. Then there will be a cut to the split screen phone call. The audio will be recorded externally while the two parts will be filmed with vertical-facing cell phones.

Filming: Extra Preparation

Image
  One of the biggest dilemmas we have faced in this project has been finding a suitable location. I already explained how the search was too hard, so we had to change the setting of the movie. By far, getting over the hurdle of finding a location has been the hardest part. It has also taken up the most of our time. Comparatively, writing the script and drawing the storyboard were much easier. We will probably be making more changes to our script as we go on. Whether the changes are in response to a part of the setting we did not account for or something else, it is likely the script will be changed. Likewise, we may have to alter the story from the storyboard to adapt to changes in the original plan. Other than that, we are ready to move on from finding the location and making the script and storyboard. The next logical step for us would be to prepare every resource we need for filming. One thing EVERY film producer needs is a camera. Because of COVID-19 precautions, we ca...
