Group members: Sarah Samuels, Christopher Hayman

The person I have for my group project is Christopher Hayman. I first met Christopher on the second day of this media studies class. Me and Chris hit it off instantly. We shared similar music tastes and an interest in online and video games. Throughout the first and second week we would spend the free periods in this class discussing different games. We would also discuss different music artists and concerts we were looking forward to seeing. Chris is a hard worker who I know I can depend on for this project. I've seen before how dedicated he can be when it comes to academics. I figured out the hard way that for this project, you need someone who you're compatible with. I've known Chris for a while now and I think we'll have no problem completing this commercial successfully. Chris is more on the reserved side but he's very kind and genuine. For our commercial we decided to film and advertisement for Nike. Nike is a brand that specializes in shoes, clothes, and other versatile products. Nike is known world wide and has different outlets we can explore. This company will provide us with many different commercial ideas. I'm extremely excited to get started on this project and work hard filming this product. Even from a young age I enjoyed filming videos and trailers with my sister and brother. I know that with the combination of both of our brilliant minds we can accomplish an outstanding production. There is no doubt in my mind that this project wont be genius. I am so grateful to have Chris as my partner.

    My name is Sarah Samuels, I am 15 years old and attend Fort Lauderdale Highschool. I am a first-generation immigrant with Parents from Jamaica. I have 2 siblings and 1 dog, whom I love very much. I was born September 28, 2006 and am a libra. I enjoy reading, talking with friends, cycling, shopping, and trying new foods. But more than anything I love meeting and talking new people. I feel like it allows me to immerse myself into the thoughts and feelings of the people around me. My favorite color is black because it is a staple in everything. My favorite food is French fries (contrary to popular belief). I have dreams to be a doctor, more specifically an orthopedic surgeon. I love the idea of being able to help people through surgery and scientific knowledge. My favorite subject is math and science. Math because I enjoy plugging in formulas. Though I also enjoy science I am nowhere near good at it. I hope to one day be able to major in biology to achieve my dreams and reap ...

SO MUCH WALKING!

Image
  Today, Chris and I went to work on filming our commercial for Nike shoes. First, we went out to the softball field behind building 17 to film some shots. These shots consisted of him (he was wearing the Nike shoes) performing different drills and routines with the feet, such as jogging in place, side hopping, and foot and leg stretches. I used my camera to film these shots, focusing on his feet in order to emphasize the shoes. The shots of Chris doing these exercises are going to be in a compilation of shots near the end of the commercial. When we finished these shots, we walked over to towards the track and football field. As we walked, I recorded audio of my footsteps in the grass to use in the video. When we arrived at the track, we set our bags down and made our way down to where the starting line was. Then, I filmed Chris getting in a starting position and then breaking into a sprint. Again, we made sure to focus heavily on the shoes. I then had him walk through the gra...

Filming AGAIN!

Image
 We're at it again!. today we filmed once more. except unlike last time we actually went to Mac's house. Mac told me and the actors that she has two bedrooms we could use to film the different scenes and certain shots. Once we reached Mac's house we went straight to her guest bedroom and began filming backwards. rather than filming the scenes chronologically like how they were listed in the story board and script. We worked backwards filming the scenes that had high priority. Dream wasn't able to stay long unlike me and Paulanka because her mom had a limited schedule and had to pick her up at 5. school had let out around 3 which barely gave us 2 hours to film. we had to make the most of our time especially since the deadline was fast approaching. we began filming the scene where dream walks into her house and goes to her bedroom. This was actually one of the last scenes but it was the only one that featured just dream alone. The scene portrayed her walking up to her bed...
