AICE Media Studies

 My commercial challenges conventions by showing what a commercial can be and how a blog can help the process of it. It represents social groups by bringing to light athletes or athletic things in general. My commercial engages with audiences by relating to athletes or people who want to start doing athletic stuff like sports for example. My production skills developed because all through the journey of the project, I would get a better understanding of how to produce something correctly. I needed technology to be able to film my commercial so that is a way technology played a role in my project. 

 This project was a lot of fun to do. I learned so much from this experience. I had a lot of fun planning the commercial, doing all the blogs and even finally being able to do the commercial. It was really cool to be able to learn this much about media. With editing the commercial and formatting the blogs. I think it was a really good learning experience. I would definitely do this project again. I cant wait for the next one I am able to do, the music video. Im very excited for that. 

  I first started to finish up my blog. When I was done with it I started to download it to my computer. I logged onto my computer. I looked over my whole commercial. I didnt have to do too much editing because I was basically able to get it done in one shot. I watched over my commercial a few times. Just to make sure there was no errors in it. I was happy with it when i got done watching over it a few times. There were hardly any errors that I had noticed. When I was done I downloaded the commercial on my computer. I unplugged my phone from my computer. I then walked away. I thought of maybe some errors I could have done. I looked on my phone. I pulled up the commercial to go over it one last time. I looked over it and i didnt see anything i could fix. I was happy with it so i finally put everything away. I then turned off my computer and stopped.

 On Wednesday, October 6th, I started the filming for my commercial on the GoPro. I'm the only group member so I started filming as soon as I was ready. Since im the director, I brought my picture of the GoPro and my outfit I was going to wear, along with my information I was going to read off of. I changed into the outfit I was going to wear and I set up my camera in the right angle that I wanted it to be so I can start my filming. I did it outside my house so I made sure everything in my area was safe for me to start filming. I had to re-shoot some of the scenes because there was the occasional person that walked by or a car that passed by. The next scene was just me talking more about the product and what benefits it can give an athlete or just someone in general. I grabbed the photo of my GoPro and I was holding it in my hands then I flipped it towards my camera. I proceeded to talk about my product. I had to re shoot the video a few times because I would mess up on the wording
