Filming Blog: The Powerade Commercial

During the time spent doing this blog, I have learned a lot from it. On 10/28/2020, I started filming my commercial. This day, everything seemed so messed up for me. It was raining the entire weekend so I could not leave the house even if I wanted to. Because of this, I had to improvise. I called my friends that were helping me with my filming and told them that I was canceling it and that they didn't have to worry about going out anymore. After that, I changed my filming setting to my own home I had my Powerade bottles ready and my mom helped me film my project. For filming, I used My mirror and a cloth as a background setting and I think it came out pretty well. As I moved my filming setting, my mom and my sister helped me do my whole set up. The first part of my commercial is basically wording so that it can catch the viewers attention. Then after that, you see the beverage sitting up lined next to each other. Since i'm doing the editing process on my phone, it is usually mo...

  Props: Since this is a Powerade commercial, the most used prop in my commercial would be the Powerade beverage. It will include three different types of flavors such as grape, blueberry, and orange. Backup props will most likely be sport balls, and sports equipment.  Costumes: Costumes that will be used in the commercial will be any types of sportswear such as tennis shoes, hats, pressure tights, workout tops and things such as that. Since this commercial is not based on brand, any brand could be worn during the commercial whether it is Nike, Adidas, or Under Armor.  Schedule: On October 23, 2020, I started my research on the details that I would need for my commercial. Also, I started planning on what I would want to do for my commercials, for example props, costumes and actors. On October 26, 2020, I will start my storyboard blog so I can prepare for creating my commercial. On October 28, 2020, I will go to a sports park where there is a basketball court, track and fi...

           For my commercial project, I will be doing a commercial for Powerade. In this commercial, I will display multiple people doing different activities such as running and exercising. There will be visuals of the people being tired, sweaty, and needing something cool and refreshing for their dress code, they will be dressed in different types of sports wear such as tennis shoes, hats, sports tops and shorts. The setting for this commercial will most likely be on a football field, basketball court, or track for runners. These structures will give off a sports theme because of course, Powerade is a sports drink.            The description of the commercial is very simple. In the film you will encounter people about three people working out outside or practicing inside. Yow will notice how these people are tired as they run out of breath, heavily breathing and sweating looking like they need something to drink. After that, ...
