Hello,  for the commercial assignment I choose Ashleigh Miller, Britanique Simpson, and Isabel D'Onofrio. I met Ashleigh in my Spanish class in my sophomore year in high school. We were really good friends and we helped each other out a lot that year. I met Britanique also in my Spanish class we also created a good friendship there. We both worked on projects and learned to work together. I met Isabel in my senior year in AICE media studies. She needed a group to work in and we wanted to work with another person so she joined us. Since then we have gotten along really well and with everyone else. I'm excited to work with this group and get to create a commercial with them. We all communicate really well together as a group. At the moment we are assigning tasks on who is doing what. We first wanted to create a concept we all thought about for a bit and decided to go with Ashleigh's idea. Her idea was to do it on ink joy pens. We thought all about how we could make something cool and we thought about creating a short story on losing a pen and finding it again and the journey it took to get there. This was a really fun process to go through as a group, we laughed and brainstormed new concepts and ideas. After we are done brainstorming we are creating our blogs and finalizing what everyone is going to contribute to the project. We had a discussion to find out what each of our strengths is and who would be better of to do the task. The process was fun as we talked about it in a group and talked about our strengths and weaknesses. Overall I'm happy to be working with friends and new friends. This project is going to be a blast.

  Angles High angles- Were used to make the character look vulnerable and powerless against the ghost.  Close up- Used to show the emotions in the actor's face. The horror in their eyes, for example, when digging through their late husband's stuff.  Reverse Shots- This was used to show a flashback in the film meaning it followed the convention.

Genre research: Horror

  The horror genre creates a sense of fear, panic, alarm, and dread for the audience. Usually, in these films, the goal is to scare the audience by feeding on their fears or worst nightmares. Traditionally there's an evil person, force, or event and sometimes a supernatural being like a ghost or a zombie.

Filming Blog: Auditorium Stairs

 On October, 5th my group and I started filming our commercial. We started off by walking around each of the stairs around campus to find the perfect one. After looking we found out that the stairs by the auditorium were the best to use, to capture what we wanted.  We realized we needed someone to be in the back as an extra because we didn't have enough people. We wanted it to look as natural as possible. Once we found another extra for the back we began to set up how we were going to set up the shot. We had our storyboard in front for guidance, but we still needed to play around with different angles. After we found the perfect angle we began to shot multiple takes of the first scene to get the perfect shot. While we were doing this we spotted a big iguana that was right above us. It frightened me at first because I felt as if it may land on my head. This iguana did cause a tiny setback because we weren't prepared to see it. Once the iguana ran away we began to shoot, we adde...
