AICE Media Studies

 Today, Adrian and I started our filming process for our Extra gum commercial. Our friend, Janaiya, was kind enough to help us with filming. It ended up being a huge help, since both me and Adrian were acting in the commercial. She's in A Level Media, so she was able to give us advice since she has done the assignment before.  The main obstacle we ran into while filming was the acting. Adrian and I couldn't control our laughter at times, which prolonged the filming process. Janaiya was very patient with us and gave us tips on how to get through the scene more effieciently.

My group filmed as much as we could for the first half of class, and the other group f

Right after she reaches , the camera angle switches to a future two-shot.   The shot starts off with the girl only.  To the  girl's  surprise a boy picks up the pencil right before she  can  grab it,  finally turning the shot into a two shot.  He gives her a friendly  smirk  and  hands it back.  While she takes the pencil  back,  she says “ thank you ,”  with a bashful look.   T hey  get los t  in each other's eye  and have a  ‘momen t .’     Third scene   We switch back to a medium shot of the classroom and we see the boy walking to his seat behind the girl.  The camera s

  Props:     We need a pencil , which  will be dropped by the first character in the  first  scene. We will  also  need basic  items  that a student will have on their desk in class ,  such as a notebook, laptop, pencil case,  backpacks, chairs, desk s ,  etc.  We will also have a pack of  E xtra  gum , most importantly  the silver wrapper,   wh ich is the product that the commercial is about.    Costumes:     The setting is in a classroom, so the wardrobe will be casual, school attire. It must follow a modest dress  code since  that  is enforced in most schools.   Schedule:   9/22/21:  our group researched convention s  and codes of Extra gum commercials.  We also established the props, costumes, schedule, location list, and our backup plan.   9 /24/21 -9/28/21 : our group will work on and complete the storyboard .   9/30 /21 -10/4/21 :  our group will film  the  scenes  of  the commercial.   10/6/21-10/8/221: our group will edit and  finalize  the commercial .   Location list:     Fo
