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.

 Hello again! There has been a few changes in the filming process. As you know, the filming date for this project is Thursday, March 16, 2023. Some things have changed with the location of filming this project. This project was supposed to be filmed at my dads new and very big modern house that we are moving into in a couple of months. Things changed because my dad is renting out that house to different people before we move in. A couple booked to stay in the house starting today, Tuesday, March 14 all the way through Tuesday, March 28. This had me thinking because the people renting out the house will be there on the date that my group was going to film. The projects deadline is coming up quickly and I knew that my group could not wait two whole weeks before we film so I decided to improvise. I came up with the idea that instead the final task will be filmed at the current house my dad and I are in. This house is smaller but still has most of the necessities that will be needed. T...

Production Blog- Finally Finished Filming

 Hello and welcome back blog!! I have not updated you in a little while. The group and I had been planning on what day to film and finally it was decided that today would be the day. I have already discussed that everyone has super busy lives and it is a little hard to come up for filming days. Today was the last and final day of filming. It is Monday, March 11 and right when me and my group got out of school at 2:40, we went straight to my house in order to regroup and discuss further scenes that needed to be filmed. After the group got to my house, filming started shortly after. First, I discovered that the amber alert scene needed to be filmed and that was done by changing contact names to the names of the girls in the short films and a voiceover affect of the amber alert saying the name of the girl who is missing. Then, a couple scenes of Ellie trying to call Olivia in the short film and crying, needed to be filmed. After about an hour of completing these scenes, it was then ti...

Production Blog- Getting things done

 Hello and welcome back blog!!! I am really sad because me and my group were supposed to film on Sunday, February 25. I had work from 9-5 that day but I was planning on going over to Jenna’s after work that day, so was the rest of the group. Unfortunately, Jenna came down with a really bad illness that prevented her from being able to film. Now, me and the group need to come up with a new filming day. Jenna has not been to school in a couple of days because of how sick she is. My group needs to get filming done soon because the short film is going to be due March 15. My group needs to discuss new filming dates but we are thinking of Friday March 1st or Saturday or Sunday. I have almost completed the postcard fully. Carleigh was making the website on Square Space and after she completed the entire site, it asked her to pay in order for her to publish the website for it to be available for the public. This was a bit of a set back because I need the link of the website to create a QR ...
