First day on the Track

 The first day filming for the commercial


was not very good for me and my team. My role was main actor. I didn’t have much to do with the shots being taken but I was the face for the recording so I did do most of the stunt work. Disregarding that fact today was very chaotic and I couldn’t properly communicate with my partner. The shots taken were not what I expected them to be at all. I originally thought the shots were going to give a cinematic feeling, but instead the shots taken were wide shots. Wide shots definitely do not give a cinematic feeling. Even though today was a bust I had a conversation with my partner and she agreed. She said the shots taken were bad and that it was her fault. She took responsibility because that is her role within filming, she records the shots and direct what I should be doin as well. I love the fact that she took responsibility and that we could responsibly talk to one another. 

Our conversation help us analyze the shots that we had already. Non the less it helped us come up with new ideas for commercial that could positively affect it. Those ideas will be put into action our next period. Hopefully it works out better next time and we are able to communicate better. During the conversation the roles weren’t completely changed but they altered to better the team as a whole. Instead of my partner being completely in control of the shots and events within the commercial I have partial authority and I feel as if it will lead to a mutual understanding and will once again better the commercial overall. Reasons like this is why I appreciate my partner so much because of our mutual understandings. Our next recording day will be much smoother as a result. Also I found recording to be very fun, the act was very entertaining.

  INT. GROCERY STORE – DAY Rachel is in grocery store buying produce by her mother’s request, she tussles with the cashier over the price of the item she is buying.

Sure, let me grab that off you It’s 1.07 RACHEL   Can you spare 7 cents, I only have a dollar CASHIER That’s too bad, go down to a farmers’ market, it’s probably cheaper RACHEL Are you kidding me, the only farmers market in the area is 6 miles from here You can’t give me a discount or something CASHIER Listen kid, my job is to ring up items, take the money and give costumers their food.

Im Ready!

 Hey there, nice seeing you again, its me David Brown and I have a story to tell you. I have just received the instructions of the final project. I am absolutely excited for this opportunity. I have an entire semester of knowledge and I think I am absolutely prepared for this assignment. The project seems like a bit much overall, but with the help of my teachers and my partner I think this is a challenge I can take on. Not only that this project also seems very interesting. The project allows me to go through a differing process that can end up teaching me a lot. Also the project allows me interact with a celebrity of my choice. That honestly sounds like the best thing ever and to be able to use their work for my own very project.  My interest in the project is not the only thing that makes me qualified. I have other characteristics that i have gained throughout this course that I will be definitely be using. One of these characteristics is my hard work ethic. I will definitel...

My New Group

 For this project I have decided not to work with the same partner I worked with before on the previous project. In the past I worked with one other person her name was Aljeanae. The group I was in before was not necessarily bad but instead it just wasn’t my preferred environment. The work ethic and the work done wasn’t very comparable. I enjoyed doing the project before very much and I also enjoyed my partner I just believe it could have gone smoother. In the moment dealing with her I didn’t realize the difference in our work. This quickly changed after the assignment was done and the CCR was complete. I decided the best decision was to just separate myself from the partner entirely and start over. Not only that, another thing to take into consideration is that I am able to work with people outside of our class for this project. Also all the work will be done off of the campus. Aljanae doesn’t live very close to me and doesn’t have a reliable source of transportation as well ...
