Production Blog

 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.

Short Film Research: Party to Murder

  The mystery short film I watched was Party to Murder by Strobie Studios. The actors gathered together at this old style mansion to play a game of murder mystery while at a masked party. Will they play a harmless game or is the reality of death knocking on their front door? The director included a plot twist which is what ultimately made the short film a good watch. At the beginning of the film the director used upbeat music and close up angles of a couple dressed in fancy attire. The upbeat music explained the mood of the couple, as they were laughing and excited for their upcoming party. However as the car approached the home the music took a turn for the dark. The music began to speed up and the musical notes selection became very ominous. A big tactic used in mysteries especially murder mysteries in plot twists. Plot twists leave the audience highly surprised making it the best way to recapture a viewer's attention. Nobody wants to sit through a movie where every scene is easi...

Short vs. full length film research

  BLOG 1: Comparing 9, the short film, and the full-length movie  Hey Blogg, our group will be discussing the short version of the film "9" and the full-length version along with comparing both of them.  Short film version: None of our group members had ever seen this movie and seeing it for the first time it was different, unlike something we had ever seen before. First off, there was no dialogue throughout the whole film. This causes us to pay even more attention to what was happening throughout the film to better understand what was going on. For this specific short film, the plot was less obvious and required higher thinking skills as all that is given are the scenes. We understood the plot at the nearing the end of the movie. Our interpretation of the plot was that in a desolate setting that looked like a landfill site, the film begins with scenes of 9 crafting objects from scrap metal. As the title screen fades, 9 is found sitting around the remnants of a broken w...

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...
