Shockers

 This is my commercial for the quarter 4 project. Our group product is called Shockers. It's a candy that gives you super powers for a limited amount of time. The super powers are teleportation, telekinesis, time travel, speed, strength, and invisibility. We wanted our commercial to be cheesy, but still funny. We wanted to give more than one example of how our product worked. We represented teleportation and telekinesis. For teleportation we had Alex act like he was running late to class when a "voice from above" gave him Shockers to help him get to class on time. We made sure to add some humor so it wasn't a boring monotonous commercial. When we did telekinesis we wanted the problem to be easily replaceable. The problem was Gabby didn't have a pencil for class so she looked around and spotted one that was to far for her to reach. To show the pencil "flying" we tied fishing line to the end of it and had Alex controlling the string. To go along with the cheesy theme I added a scene like in most infomercials where the person "fails" and the screen is grey. Then I played the sequence again and added the parts where she grabbed the shockers and succeeded.

Short Film Strangers

Our group originally chose Courtney's script, but after shooting we realized that the footage was bad and trying to do a party scene would not work. Instead we chose my script, but revised it in order to be able to shoot it as efficiently as possible. My script was originally about a boy and girl who both suffered from social anxiety and together they are able to work on it and overcome it.  The pre-production process was rushed due to our time restraints. Courtney spent a day revising the script to reduce the amount of locations we had to go to. I called a couple coffee shops to see if we could film there, but ended up filming everything at JCCC. I also created shot lists for our shoot day in order to try and give some structure and efficiency. Courtney was our actress and she found Danny for our actor. I was the cinematographer and editor for the film. Originally Grayson was the cinematographer, but was unable to make the shoot.  On a Saturday Courtney, Danny, Wes, a...

The Hidden Premiere

My Role  My role in The Hidden was costume designer. It was difficult to plan all the outfits in advance due to filming dates being moved around so I did not have the ability to plan in advance as much as I would have liked. it was also kind of difficult to come up with a variety of costumes that weren't boring and repetitive. I learned that it was important to communicate with the actors in advance and have good communication with the director so we are on the same page for the vibe of it. I think my work was alright, it didn't make much of an impact because it was everyday clothes. I have used my time 75/100 productively. Sometimes I would work on graphic/photoshop projects in my free time or client work. I watch movies and a variety of shows outside of class. I think I am decent at time management and leadership. I complete most of my projects on time and can lead a project/group when necessary. I could improve on my collaboration with others especially with talking to n...
