Props: Since our group decided to use the Airpods Pro the props that we will be using will be an iPhone and the Airpods Pro themselves.

Costumes: In our commercial, we have one main character, and 2 side subjects. Our actors will wear normal/trendy clothes, they would wear items that they would wear everyday to simulate like it was just a normal day for them. The main actor will have an iPhone in hand, and an AirPod in each ear so to show them off to the viewer. 


Schedule:  

  • On 9/22/21 our group researched conventions and the background of AirPods Pro commercials. We also decided on our location list, props, costumes, backup plan, and made sure we were sticking to our schedule. We tried to get the most that we could done to make sure that on the next day of working we had enough time to get the next step done. 

  • On 9/24/21 our group will get together to create the storyboard for our 30 second commercial. We will use this time to edit any ideas we have before filming the commercial and make sure the commercial overall makes sense. 

  • On 9/28/21 our group will get together to begin to film at our various locations to gather our clips that we will use to then edit. 

  • On 9/30/21 our group will meet together to focus on the edits and final additions to our commercial. We will then watch the movie a few times and compare it to our storyboard and make sure what we drew became a reality in our commercial. 


Location List: For the location of our commercial, we will begin to film at the senior patio to collect the beginning shots of our commercial. After we have gotten all of the scenes we would like from there, we will go over to the track and field to get the other clips for the other parts of our commercial. This is where the other actors in our commercial will come in and be on set with Aaron. 


Backup plan: We have thought of a couple backup ideas in case multiple situations come up. In case the weather is not cooperating, then we will be able to go to the cafeteria and be able to shoot there where we could show off the same thing to the viewer just with a different perspective. In case the cafeteria is empty at the time it is raining we can also go to the second floor of the gym and use that as a set for our commercial. We can then edit noise and music in or out to have an emotional feeling with the viewer. If the AirPods Pro or the iPhone we are going to use for the commercial do not work we are able to easily have another on set within 5 minutes. We can use these situations as a backup because they will still be able to show off the main point we are trying to get across to the viewer.

Last Minute Filming

Image
 Today I filmed some extra stuff for the film and some things I just forgot to film. I forgot to film the part where Avery's mother, father, and brother run to the scream that they heard. So, I filmed that. Also, I forgot to film the bit where Avery's mom calls 911. So I filmed that with a close up of her calling. Previously when I was editing I noticed my film was running short. To fix this, I filmed a part where Avery's dad shakes hands with the detective. I think I will end the film with that clip. Another way to fix this is I filmed a part where Avery walks and sits down at her desk and starts writing. Hopefully this will make my film the right size. The filming process was fairly easy. I had to make sure the set was the same. To do this I cleaned the room we filmed in. It was, however, a struggle to get my actors together. Whenever Sebastian wasn't busy Izzy was. And vice versa. I had to create a group chat so they they could situate when they were both not busy. T...

Thriller for the Win

 My decision for my film is to be thriller based. Even though it's not my favorite type of movie to watch, I think it would be fun to film. My pitch is also a type to be thriller because it is a murder mystery. I didn't want it to be a comedy because I don't think I could come up with a funny script. It also wouldn't be good as a romance because someone got murdered, not engaged. I am excited to make my thriller movie. I don't think I will take the route where its super scary though. I think I am just going to make is ominous and keep the audience on their toes. I already know I am going to incorporate screaming. I am also thinking of making the lighting dark when the detective is interrogating the suspects. I also have the perfect setting for it to take place, my boyfriends house. His house is very open and has many rooms for the suspects to have alibis. Thriller involves many different shots and types of editing so I think it will be easy to complete the mandatory...

 Hi, my name is Ariel Pickholtz. I am 16 years old, and I am a junior at Fort Lauderdale High School. I love to go thrifting, hanging out at the beach, and spending time with my friends and family in my freetime. I also love doing photography and videography. I have a cat that lays next to me everytime I do homework on my bed. I also enjoy playing tennis and watching football games. One film I can really appreciate is Avatar because it is so ahead of its time and it's very interesting. I also love the movie Rio for their amazing soundtrack. I decided to take AICE media studies because I like films and I wanted to see everything that goes into them. I wanted to learn why directors make certain choices when putting together the film and what certain cuts and angles are supposed to make the viewer feel.  I also heard that the teachers were very good at teaching the subject. I am excited to learn everything about the filming process as well as make my own films. I'm excited to wor...
