Research and Planning Blog


When it comes to researching and planning for my "All About Me Commercial", there are many things that I need to pick out. Things that I need to pick out are photos, videos and songs. When it comes to choosing pictures, the rubric for the commercial states that I need to have three to five pictures of me, not offline. Finding pictures should not be super difficult for me. Me being almost sixteen years old mean I have many hours of picture taking under my sleeve. When my family and I go on trips, we love taking lots of pictures. When someone doesn't want to take a picture (my brother), my grandmother always says "Were never coming back here" as a joke to get us in the picture. Also, when I hang with my friends, we are always taking pictures of fun things that we do. We love taking pictures for the memory. Choosing picture might be difficult due to how many I have. I will choose picture in the context of what I'm talking about. When it comes to choosing videos, the rubric for the commercial states two to three video of me; one must be real and not from the internet. Finding videos of me should not be difficult because I love taking videos of everything. My family and I love taking videos of the things we do together; like when we go on trips. My friends and I love taking videos of the fun things that we do when we hang out with each other. Me and my friends love taking videos so much that when we were younger, we made a YouTube channel. Choosing a video may be difficult, but I will use ones that fit in context. When it comes to choosing songs, the rubric for the commercial states one to two songs that represent you. Choosing song may be difficult for me because I like a wide variety of music. It also may be difficult to chose because a lot of music that I listen to is explicit. When it comes to choosing a song, I will make sure it is school appropriate and makes sense to use in the commercial.

When it comes to producing and editing my all about me commercial, there are many key factors. The key factor I will be discussing are the songs I chose. I will also talk about where they will be used in the commercial. For the commercial I will be choosing two songs that represent me. These songs will describe me as a person. One song will represent one of my past favorite hobbies. The other song will represent a special moment in my life. But to start off with, I will announce the final picture and video order. It will start off with a picture of me age three, with my Mom and Dad. This will be followed by another picture of me age four at my first year of baseball. This will be followed by a video of me at five playing baseball. Then followed by a picture of me age seven with me, Mom, Dad, My sister, and my brother (complete family). Then this will be followed by a video at nine of me and my friends. This will be followed by picture of me at eleven at my baseball championship and las...

CCR: Question 1 and 4

Image
Hey Cambridge, I will be filming a day in the life of Dylan Tanner as I answer questions 1 and 4 of the CCR for AICE Media.   How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? In response to the first question, let’s break it down into two parts to better address both issues.   While filming this production, I chose to use a lot of shadowy imagery with fade-ins, fade-outs, tracking and sounds to build suspense without ever giving away the ‘actual monster’s’ face.   I used a variety of camera shots spanning from wide angles to close ups. I chose a variety of close-ups of the character’s faces to only reveal looks of horror and fear and to keep the identity of the ‘devil’ under wraps.    The music in the background starts out with a pleasant and low tone sound, with is paired with a visual of a clear road leading into the woods.   The tune becomes more ominous and the visual changes into a narrower an...
