 Hello again! For this Dunkin' Donuts commercial, I was one of the actors along with Omnia and Marlo. Harley was the Director and Videographer. My role in this commercial was the main characters, Omnia, sister. In the commercial our alarm went off and Omnia woke up, turned it off, and went back to sleep causing both me and her to oversleep and be late for school. It was pretty easy to act out sleeping but it was hard to keep a straight face having to act out snoring. Marlo, the mom, came in to wake me and omnia up because we were late for school. In the commercial, Omnia and I had to act tired and miserable and at the same time move quickly because were "late" to school. The major transition to show that Dunkin' kept me going was when we had to take a bite of the donut and a sip of the coffee. Omnia and I created the idea for a transition to show us in our pajamas looking terrible and then when ate Dunkin' products, right away were dressed and ready for the day to show America runs on Dunkin. The dramatic acting in this commercial was to try to really sell the idea that Dunkin' Donuts is the superior brand to other major companies like Starbucks. I think that all the acting in this commercial is able to compliment the overall purpose of the commercial. Although Harley was not in the commercial, they played a very important role in filming and directing most of the shots taken for this commercial. This commercial was overall very fun to make because it required my group mates and I to put our heads together and think about what would look good for this commercial and all the little details put into the commercial. The production of this commercial has definitely caused my group mates and I to become a lot closer. In producing this commercial, it has led for my group mates and I to be able to learn each other thought processes and see who thinks alike and who comes up with things that would not be considered by others. Overall, the production of this commercial was a success and I am glad for my group members and proud of the work we have put in. Till next time.

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.
