 Hey, welcome back! In commercials on donuts, there’s a mix of diegetic and non-diegetic sound. Diegetic sound is an important aspect. There is music in the back of each scene that fits the mood and appeals to the viewer. If characters are shown, then there’s dialogue used to move the scene along. A lot of the time there are voice overs that narrate about the coffee or food that’s shown. Ambient sound is background noise which can be heard as other characters in the background of the shop or just surrounding noise present. In certain commercials there’s point of view shots and eyeline matches, in which the camera is what the barista would be seeing and doing. There's a lot of high and low camera angles for dramatic effect, for example, when they are drizzling caramel or chocolate on top of the coffee or donut. There are a lot of close ups and zooms on the desired products to emphasize the food presented. There is a lot of cross cutting to different people in these commercials. Sometimes commercials use split screen to show the companies two different products; like donuts and then coffee. There are normally a lot of editing effects like fade ins/outs and reverse shots to create a dramatic and entertaining commercial. The props are the coffee and donuts. Costume refers to a person's or a group's particular manner of dressing that reflects what the character represents. The character’s are normally in everyday clothing or in business casual clothing, because they could be going to work. The lightning and colors are normally very bright and colorful or very dramatic and dark. They’re bright and colorful when there’s characters and there’s cross cutting between scenes, they’re more dramatic and dark when they’re just focusing on the product. Depending on how the commercial wants to present their product, depends on how its shot. Some commercials just focus on the product, while others have another storyline to it. Anyways, it was nice talking to you. Catch you later.

Production Blog- The Final Stretch!

Hello and welcome back blog. It is the final stretch and the complete process of making this short film is now coming to a close. It is a sad realization but at the same time I am so beyond proud of how hard me and my group worked and well as all the time and effort we put into this short film. The group finished filming and now the process of editing has begun. It took three full days of filming in order to get all the scenes for the short film. When Jenna put most of the scenes together in imovie, it came out to be a six minute film. There was so many scenes that needed to be cut out and shortened that she is still working to shorten it as we speak. We used the time in class to brainstorm different sounds that should be used throughout the short film. It was pretty difficult coming up with sounds to use because nothing truly fit the scenes to perfection. While coming up with that, I had a classmate named Jack peer review the short film. At this point the short film was no where near ...

My Critical Reflection

  Critical Reflection Link Critical Reflection A level Media Studies How do your products represent social groups or issues? My short film, Shattered Bonds, represents the major issue of mental health struggles that follow being left out in relationships and friendships, that so many people suffer from in the real world. The film highlights the idea that when you feel a sense of hurt in a relationship/friendship it can cause a mental trigger for coping mechanisms such as violence or self harm. Shattered bonds brings awareness to this through the plot. Throughout the film, there are scenes showing one of the teenage girls being left out of the group and feeling a sense of hurt in the fact that nobody is including her in their conversation or activities. These feelings of hurt then revolve into resentment in the film as they do in the real world. These feelings can lead to violence against others as well as self harm. In the film, the girl being left out resorts to killing the girl t...
