Planning for my Eyelash Commercial

 Schedule Plan:

10/22 I will research conventions of my product.

10/23 I will start planning for my eyelash commercial and get all of my props situated.

10/24 I will establish my story board.

10/25 I will film in-house takes for my project.

10/28 I will film outside takes for my project since the weather will hopefully allow me that day.

10/29-11/1 I will work on editing my project and doing any final touches.

Props:

I will be using makeup brushes, palettes, a hand held mirror, and of course, a set of eyelashes for my in-house takes.

As for my outside takes, I will be using my keys and a car as props.

Costume:

 I will choose an outfit I already have in my closet as a costume for the commercial. I may even do a costume change for dramatic effect, to show the impact the eye lashes had on my confidence. At first I may start in my pajamas or sweatpants, then transition to a beautiful gown/dress. This will show a full transformation in my appearance.

Sets:

I will be shooting in a few or these possible places: the bathroom, the bedroom, the closet, and the outside of the beauty supply store. 

Locations:

The only locations I plan on filming in will be my house and outside of the beauty supply. In the house shots, I will film myself in the mirror or bedroom, with a bad mood because I am “missing” something. Then, I will cut to me getting out of the car with to buy some eye lashes from the beauty supply.

Back up plan:

In case the weather is exceptionally bad, I will have to just film inside of my house without any shots outside. I will make do with what I can, maybe I’ll just film in differently areas of my house. If I cannot get a family member to help me film, I will use a tripod. If something in the editing process goes wrong, I will try my best to edit on another computer or into another software. 

Well, that’s all I have. See you in the next one!

Editing Blog: My struggles with music & duration

Image
Editing is not my absolute favorite part of filmmaking as of now. I only say this because I'm not very good at it yet and that bothers me. When I watch movies made by famous filmmakers I'm always quick to appreciate its editing. But, after editing a project myself, I understand how hard editing can be. However, editing my Kiss eyelashes commercial was admittedly, not as hard as I first thought it would be. When I get to do more projects like this, I think I'll learn to love it. The only difficultly I encountered was finding the perfect music that would match the theme of my commercial as well as getting the duration of the film right. I had trouble finding the right music because I just felt like any song I'd pick would be insufficient. I looked up songs of all decades. From Aretha Franklin's "Baby Baby Baby" to Beyonce's "Independent Woman." While there were many songs that I were eager to use, none of them felt right to put into a commercia...

Finding props for the final task

Image
 My next task is to find props for the final task. The main thing I had to get was a few photo copies from my local Walgreens. Minor things I had to get were cereal boxes, picture frames, etc. As for the photo copies, there was a bit of difficulty finding a place to print them. Before I learned that I could print them at a convenience store, I had no idea where to go. First, I tried printing them at my house. But, on regular printer paper. This was a total fail. My printer barely had any colored ink and the picture came out black and white. It also came out with very low quality and very pixelated. So, I had to do a bit of searching on the internet. I needed to find out where I could get the best quality pictures for a low price. I went on a few websites, but all of the pricing was too high. Then i went looking in my local area. That’s when I found out that a store not too far away from my house. They had exactly what I needed for the final task. I found everything I was looking fo...

Intro Blog

 Hello to anyone out there reading this. My name is Taelor Barnes and I am a 16 year old. I have an older sister and a dog that has grew up with me since my parents first got her when I was 6. Academically, I am in the eleventh grade at Fort Lauderdale high school. Since ninth grade I have been waiting to take this class; it is one of the most intriguing courses I've heard about and discussed with my guidance counselor. Many of my friends have taken it in prior to the 2020/2021 school year and they have only had good things to say about it. In my previous high school years, I haven't had the chance to take this class due to my hectic schedule.  I am taking this class because I have always been interested in film and media. Ever since I could understand and interpret movies, I have been obsessed with knowing everything about them. Even with professional photography alteration, I think I may just be a tiny bit more analytical than the average person. I hyper fixate on many diffe...
