Planning for my Xbox commercial

Props 

My film will be based around Microsoft, more specific their gaming console, the Xbox One S. Props will include the Xbox controller, a tv, and a gaming headset. 

Costumes

The clothing for this film will be casual and simple as you typically find people who use this product to be at home in a relaxed environment. Actors might also want to be in an environment where gaming is ideal like the living room or their bed room rather than the kitchen or bathroom.

Schedule 

10/23/2020- research background information on the product, plan the start of production, establishing a setting,  proper time to film, clothing, and schedule.

10/26/2020- begin the storyboard of the 30 second project 

10/28/2020- begin the filming of the commercial with different angles, shots, and lighting

10/30/2020- the editing of the commercial including cuts, music, special effects, and transitions 

Location

The living room when there is the least amount of commotion in my home. This sets the casual mood of gaming and emphasizes what the actor would be doing, playing the Xbox. Additionally, the flatscreen TVs will definitely attract the attention of the viewer. This will be my main location. 

Backup plan 

If all goes wrong, I will film in my bedroom and create an IPhone commercial instead. Here I will use my sister’s iPhone 11 Pro as the product. If more actors are needed I’ll ask a family member to fill a role.

Genre Disussion

  Genre Discussion February 21, 2021  For the past couple of days, my partner and I have been discussing what genre should we do. We couldn't choose right away at first because we had to discuss the pros and the cons of each genre. We had to choose out of thriller, drama, and action. (3) The first genre we had was the drama genre. The drama has  stories with high stakes and a lot of conflicts. They're plot-driven and demand that every character and scene move the story forward. We  both worked on this genre when we had the genre project, so we both had some knowledge about it. The pros of this genre are that we had the basics of it down, so the research could be kept to a minimum. This genre best fits the pitch that we choose in our earlier discussion. The cons of this genre are that some of the common things found in drama we might not be able to recreate. Things like costumes or have makeup. Other than the smaller details drama seem like the best choice out of the ...

My Expirience On Wednesday, October 28th, I began my filming process and it wasn't as easy as I first anticipated. First, I had to first get the props and set them in their right place so that when I needed to use them there wouldn't be any hassle. After that, I began to film and soon realized filming wasn't really my best friend. The angles, the movement, and the lighting we're all different factors in each take and for this being my first time, I wasn't ready. In addition to that, there were a few mess ups that occurred and I had to end up reshooting the whole scene. I learned even a 30 second commercial can be complex if you really want to make it perfect. I used movement like tracking, close-shot, and long shot and angles such as high and low. Also, the background felt bland, I feel like I should've added more props to really capture the viewers attention. The filming process took about 15 minutes although it felt a while longer with all the retakes there we...
