Props

Since our commercial will be based on a record store, the central prop for our commercial will be vinyl, or anything that can be normally found within a record store, such as turn tables, CDs, and other music related items. Our otherprops may consist of record player(s), merchandise, and band posters.

Costumes

When the actors are in the scene, our costumes will consist of old-school, retro clothing, from around the 1960s-1980s. This sort of clothing consists of colorful clothes, mostly bright colors. Additionally, the clothing will be very vintage-like, old-fashioned. Since we want to show a time-lapse from those times to modern times, we will also use modern clothing, or what we know as everyday clothing. Everyday clothes may include a casual look, such as jeans and a T-shirt, or jeans in a hoodie; what we would expect to see every day when walking around school or the store. The hard part will be obtaining the 60s-80s clothing style, which in that case we will use tie-dyed shirts and jeans.

Schedule

By 09/27/2022, our group will research additional conventions and codes within record store commercials.

By 09/29/2022, our group will with set in stone our costumes, props, schedule for progress, location list, and a backup plan in case of any unexpected circumstances.

By 10/03/2022, our group will create a storyboard for our record store commercial.

By AT LEAST 10/11/2022, our group will finalize filming and record the shots that will be used within the commercial.

By 10/14/2022, our group will finalize editing and completing our record store commercial.

Location List

Since this is a record store commercial, we decided on a record store. For our commercial, our main location will be Vinyl Destination, a record store residing near us. We would record our actors within the store checking out the products being sold and presenting them, to bring uniqueness and attraction to the store. 

Our second location would be within a home. Within the home, we would like to record our prop usage, specifically the record player, to work on a transition from home to the store. It will work mostly for an opening to the commercial to add effect.

Backup Plan

In case the store is closed, or the store is extremely full, we would need to relocate to a different vinyl store. The effect and view of the commercial would remain the same, and there would be no need to worry about changing the central plan. If a member is absent, we just move around jobs to fill in for the lost member at that moment, since our members can be an actor if necessary.

Genre conventions blog: action

 The action genre is one where the main character is thrown through a series of obstacles such as physical feats, combats, and chases. Its subgenres include adventure and disaster among others. Common Camera Angles, Movements, and Shots: During emotional scenes, Extreme close-ups shots eye levels angles are common to show internal turmoil High angles and low angles are especially used to establish that clear good guy / bad guy convention that is common in action films. Extreme long shots will be used to establish the scenes and locations. Tracking, especially using a dolly, is common to follow fight scenes to create intensity in the movement. Common Mis-En-Sen:Often set in disheveled or clinically perfect settings; at one extreme or the otherThe lighting dims depending on emotion; darker if a negative emotion.Props :accurate to the time period and location, but often include weaponry such as guns, swords, etc. Actors and characters are often dirty or spotless, portraying a serious tone

 For this group project, I will be working with the team I have been working with since the beginning of the year. We are all in the  same grade and have been friends since last year. I am working with George, Julianna, and Jean. I choose to work with this team again because they have good work ethnics. They are all very hard working people and I am glad to be working with them for this project. I am extremely excited to be able to share this experience with them. They all have their own unique traits, they’re motivated to do the best they can and complete work as fast as they can. They  are good at problem solvers and get along well with each other. I’ve known all of them for about a year or so. We are working together but are in different classes. Jean and I take media 2nd period and George and Juliana are in 5th period. This hasn’t been much of an obstacle at all though, except sometimes for communication. We always get our work done on time though.There has been a few times however

 For our music video, my group decided to do a song called “Just The Two of Us” by Grover Washington Jr. and Bill Withers. As this song falls under the R&B genre, the targeted audience, at least in the modern age, is African-Americans (due to the history of R&B with that community), as well as the younger people of the world, mostly adolescents to young adults. - R&B music videos typically attempt to catch the audience sense of attraction. - Older R&B music videos showed men as sophisticated and charming, wearing suits, which attracted to the female audience. - Modern R&B music videos show men as attractive and strong. Most men in modern R&B are tattooed and shirtless, attracting most younger women and showing themselves as strong and wealthy. - The artists in modern R&B also have outfits which include, but aren’t limited to: no shirt, or some plain shirt, a strapped back hat, and some sort of dark pants. This gives the look of a stereotypical “person of col
