Production Blog The Camera FT

 While the project came out good, it would have never been possible without the camera used. My group mates and I decided to separate ourselves from the others. We knew everyone else would be using their iPhone cameras for their projects. We wanted to differentiate ourselves, so I took the old Nikon camera I had and got to work. The camera may have been old, but it still made sure to provide great quality. The entire film came out looking much more cinematic than if we had taken any shots on iPhone. You can notice the difference in the first couple seconds of the project, The first scene with the butter sizzling on the pan was shot by the Nikon, Me opening the fridge was shot on the phone. The Nikon camera has many different features that allowed for filming to be flexible. The feature that we found ourselves using the most was the live view option. Instead of only being able to look through the little peephole, The Nikon camera had a live view option which enabled the entire digital screen to showcase what was being seen through the camera lens. This allowed for the camera to be put in many different angles so the cameraman, Carson, was still able to see what was going on. It allowed us to get the shots we needed while being able to also accurately position the camera. The Nikon also had. Many different features in its actual software. The ability to adjust the exposure and the ISO rate right in the camera was a cool feature and for sure helped create a better viewing experience. The hardware of the Nikon also helped our project stick out. The different types of lenses that we were able to put on and take off and play around with the different types of millimeters of zoom gave the film a more professional look and provided the audience with a better-looking film. The camera overall provided us with a more cinematic and professional look. The camera itself was also very easy to take with us everywhere. The camera truly was a game changer for this project, and without it we would not have gotten the results that we did!

Production Blog Editing Software CapCut FT

In the past, my group and I have always used Cap Cut as our main source of editing. When it came time to start editing, we knew we were going to use Cap Cut . There had been a problem when we first started, however, as I've mentioned in past blogs . The US was going to ban Cap Cut , and they did. Use of Cap Cut in America was banned for around a week which frightened my group. Luckily, we still had not begun editing, so this was not a stopping point. My group and I just chose to use Cap Cut because it is the easiest and most diverse software there is for free . For one, the software's import and export features made it super easy to put in the clips and audio we needed. For the clips, all we had to do was drag the files from our File Explorer into the app. The clips were then put into CapCuts “library ”, And we're made easy to browse through. The same process happened with the audio. We would import it using MP3 from whatever website we found the copyright free a...

CCR Commercial

  Creative Critical Reflection   How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?   T he product which I used, Powerade, followed most of the traditional conventions of its past commercials, but also made sure to challenge some of them. The norm for the conventions for a sports drink commercial like P owerade would be fast jump cuts, inspirational music, quick paced movements, and sweating. While my group and I’s commercial does follow most  of the conventions, it also challenges some and goes against the grain of normal conventions of a sports drink commercial . The commercial did not include inspirational music, instead it used pop music from popular artist Bon Jovi ; it also did not put emphasis on the color of the Powerade drink like other commerc ials do .   My commercial did use jump cuts, an d sweating, and showed athletic movements, which did follow th e norm for the conventions , making...
