CCR Blog

Welcome back. I believe that this Dunkin Donuts commercial both uses and challenges conventions because the structure as well as the story of my groups commercial is different than traditional Dunkin Donuts commercials that will just show you a slow motion video of donuts falling and coffee being dropped into a cup. The commercial my group and I made has more meaning and connection to the audience which can help sell Dunkin Donuts products even further when viewers relate to the content in the commercial. This commercial can represent social groups and issues because many families do have trouble waking up their kids and this commercial tries to provide a light to those families. The Dunkin Donuts commercial definitely engages with the audience in a very relatable way. The fact that the commercial is based around a mother trying to wake up her two very sleepy kids with Dunkin Donuts is a way to give families that have a hard time waking up their kids, for school or in general, an idea in the parents perspective that America really does run on Dunkin. This can give a lot of meaning and is definitely distributed as a real media text because of the parent or child audience being able to relate to the commercial. My production skills definitely developed further from the making of this commercial. This commercial led me to be more creative in a way. The group and I had to put our heads together and really come up with a way to advertise Dunkin Donuts in a way that nobody has ever done before. I had come up with the idea of having a mother wake up her two, very sleepy kids who were not ready for the day, with Dunkin Donuts and instantly be ready for the day. I thought of this because Dunkin Donuts slogan is "America runs on Dunkin'' and I thought it would be very fitting for the children to be running only on Dunkin. This showed me how I developed my creativity skills and my group loved it. When filming was being done, several software and technologies were being used. The group used Marlo's iPhone 13 Pro because she had a better iPhone version than anyone else in the group. This allowed for a good quality camera for filming. I used the editing software CapCut to edit the video. It is the easiest to use and free to use. It offered a lot of different effects and sounds for editing the commercial. Overall, had a great time making this Dunkin Donuts commercial.

Production Blog- Continuation of filming

 Hello and welcome back blog. It was decided that the new filming date would be Saturday March 2nd. I work from 9-5 that day but I will be going after work to film the night scenes. The only thing I am worried about is when the school scenes are going to be filmed. Very soon, editing and putting together the film needs to begin because it does take a lot of time for this to come together and our deadline is March 15 to have the movie as well as website and postcard completely done. Carleigh is still putting together the website and it is taking a bit longer than I would like because I need the link to make the QR code for my postcard. The plan on Saturday is to film more at night around 6 for it to be dark so we will be able to film the night scenes of the grave as well as when the flashbacks in the short film occur in the dark. Carleigh said that she should be getting the website done in a couple days. Jenna is going to have to start editing the film together once we get a bunch m...

Production Blog- Drawbacks

 Hello and welcome back blog! Today was a day of learning and gaining new information on different media studies and theorists. In media today, I learned about media ecology and all the ways it can help us understand filming and how to apply it to our knowledge of media. It was very interesting to learn about and realize how much our society and media has changed over the years and how well communication has transformed things in our modern society. I also discussed with my group that because of my work schedule, it can be difficult to plan what days to film for the final task. I suggested that filming could take place on days that I do not work and everyone is not busy and going to Jenna’s house for filming after school would be a good plan. Weekends are very busy for me and it would be difficult to set an exact day to film for right now. One day next week, the plan would be to film after school but I will let you know for sure what day it is that filming is done. There were a cou...

I am so beyond sad that everything is now complete and filming is over. It truly was such a blast to be able to film so much with my friends and make a pretty good short film. I will miss the process of filming this short film. There were many ups and downs but overall the experience in A level media has been a fun process and I am proud of how hardworking me and my group were making this short film.
