Commercial

My very first project was a commercial. This project was actually very fun, it was my first time being an actor and creating a commercial. My group and I decided to do a Nike commercial. Since all of us run track my group and I decided it would be smart to do a track commercial. Once the idea of doing the track Nike commercial was in our head we then had to plan and do research. I watched lots of Nike commercial videos specifically track and field ones. They all had on Nike gear and were running on the track while coming out of blocks or they were warming up. Once I watched enough to become inspired the story board was planned. The next step was to film. When filming a camera was used. Once filming day came everyone decided for costume to wear some type of Nike gear. Even though not everyone had on Nike shirts I made sure everyone wore Nike shoes. When filming we took only a couple of takes due to the commercial only needing to be 30 seconds. To make sure the footage would be good the camera man recorded in different angles. He also tried to find the best light so the footage wouldn’t be dark. Once filming was done it was time to edit. To edit a school computer was used and all the videos were imported to the computer. Pinnacle studios was used to edit. This production phase was difficult because it was the first time all of us were doing something like this. It caused lots of confusion and time but eventually it got done. On the bright side of things, I had fun with this project and learned a lot.
