Storyboarding my Music Video

First Scene:

In this scene, the actor appears to have just woken up. The camera will be perpendicular to the actor, doing a bit of a pan. This will be in order to show the state of the room the actor is in, which will be messy and unarranged. 

Second Scene:

Here, the actor will be in a bathroom. The camera will be facing a mirror, which will help me do a transition. This transition is to show the actor getting ready but still looking quite sad.

Third Scene:

Here, the actor is sitting outside a door, watching the cars and people pass by. This is to show life passing the actor by.

Fourth Scene:

In this shot and the following ones, the camera will be pointing at the actor in order to create the point of view of another person. The camera's point of view will go to up the actor and lure them in, trying to improve the actor's mood and life.

Fifth Scene:

Here, the actor and the camera's point of view are playing and smiling. This shot will be a handheld shot to show someone running and walking.

Sixth scene:

In this scene, the actor is laying next to a tree and motioning the camera's point of view to join them.

Seventh scene:

Here, the actor and the camera are holding onto each other, spinning around. This will be as if they were dancing together.

Eighth scene:

Here will be a tracking shot, moving with the actor as they ride a bike.

Ninth scene:

The actor is cloud gazing and makes a point to smile at the camera.

Tenth scene:

In this final scene, the camera zooms out and we can see the camera's point of view was a mirror the whole time. This is to represent the beginning of self-love the actor now has for themselves.


Here are the pictures of the storyboard for my music video!

  

Until next time, Danniella Miller signing off! :)

Filming my Pentel Commercial

 Today was the filming day of my commercial. My actor came over and we had to get right to work as we had limited time. There were a few circumstantial issues, such as the fact we were filming in the living room and we had to make sure none of my family members messed up the shot. Another issue was the lighting, as there wasn't sufficient lighting due to the constant raining and generally cloudy weather. We fixed this by taking longer shots and multiple takes, so if someone was in the background doing something that we could see we would take another shot until we got the perfect one. As for the lighting, we had to improvise by adding some lamps around the shot without breaking anything. When we got to filming we had originally planned to do a tracking shot as the actor walked up to look through some pens, but we realized it wouldn't be feasible with our current equipment. The filming process did end up being much faster than I had originally thought. This is the first time I...

Planning the storyboard for my Pentel commercial

First Scene: This will be the shot comparing other pens to Pentel pens. It will give the audience an idea of the kinds of things you can do with Pentel pens and why they're so much better. It will be a zoom shot. As the actor continues writing, the camera will zoom in to look at how the pen is acting on the paper. Second Scene: Here, the actor will take a highlighter to the generic pen and it will smudge everything up. This will be an extreme zoom. As the Pentel pens' inability to smudge and fast drying times are a huge part of their advertising, I wanted to include a shot that would compare Pentel pens to other pens. This will still be on the same desk as the first shot, but it will instead be an overhead shot truly focusing on the paper. Third Scene: It's well known how infuriating it can be to have a pen smudging up all your hard work, so I truly wanted to show that emotion here. The audience can empathize with our actor's struggle and want to help him find a better ...

Editing my Pentel Commercial

Here we are, the final step before my commercial is complete. I'm currently using Adobe Premiere Pro to edit. My only issue with this program is the fact that I'm still quite unfamiliar with it. I spend a long time editing in Final Cut Pro and Adobe is definitely much different. Adobe is making things easier for me, but I still have to take pauses in order to look up how to do a specific action or add in a different effect. I feel like if I was more comfortable with Adobe, I certainly could've finished editing much faster. Another thing I noticed was that the thirty-second time limit of the commercial made me seriously think about which shots I wanted in my final project. I had a lot of time spend making cuts or rearranging the order of clips and watching them play out. I did this to do my best to see what the final project would look like, and how the pacing would look like. I wanted to get my story across in my commercial, but I had a lot of trouble balancing each clip so...
