 Props

Jordyn and I will be using crocs for our props. That's mainly it since we're focusing solely on the shoes. 


Costumes

We will be in character during this commercial. We will be wearing our basic everyday attire such as jeans, hoodies, shorts, tee shirts, sweatpants and of course, our crocs! The main focus of the entire commercial is the Crocs and the actors feet so we may wear socks so we can move freely.  


Schedule

09/23/21: Partner and I researched conventions and codes on Crocs commercials, established costumes, location list, props, schedules and a backup plan. 

09/29/21: We will be creating a storyboard for our 30 second clip.

10/1/21: My groupmate and I will film and record our commercial.

10/05/21: We will edit/ add the final touches to our commercial. 


Location List

We will mainly be in the designated sitting areas our school offers since the objective of the commercial is our feet. 

Our next location would be on the stairs of building 5, also known as the media center, which has a overhead covering so therefore rain will not be an issue. 

The last location will be the hallway between building 9 and 21 in the front of the school. 


Backup Plan: 

If anything goes wrong or if we dont like how the final product came out, my partner and I will be filming a commercial on backpacks which we can film any and everywhere. If someone isn't present at the time we record, the other person will just have to film from angles that do not require a second person.

Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

Image
  The first film was produced in 2005 and is a short film. 9 is a 2005 computer animated science fiction short film created by Shane Acker as a student project at the UCLA Animation Workshop. Tim Burton saw the film and later produced a feature-length adaptation also titled 9 in 2009, directed by Acker and distributed by Focus Features. 9 is a rag doll who appears to be the last of his kind, living in the ruins of a decaying, post-apocalyptic Earth. Hunting 9 is the Cat Beast, a mechanical monster wearing a cat's skull for a head. It appears to be guided by a small glowing talisman which it holds in its claws. 9 (the full film) is also a computer-animated science film directed by Shane Acker, written by Pamela Pettler and produced by Jim Lemley, Tim Burton, and Dana Ginsburg.  A scientist is ordered by his dictator to create a robot in the apparent name of progress, and so the scientist creates the B.R.A.I.N., a highly intelligent robot. The dictator seizes it upon its ap...

Story Board

Image
   During this class period, my partner and I set up our storyboard for our Crocs commercial. We decided on how the commercial would be set up first and then how we would set up the storyboard that will coordinate with our commercial. In our first box, we have the actress holding a pair of crocs to show the jibbitz/gems off that decorate the crocs. In our second box, the actor is seen putting on their crocs while they are sitting on a bench located in the school. The third box shows the actor walking with the crocs on in both sports and comfortable mode. After the shoes are shown in both of the different wearable modes, the cameraman or woman will zoom into the crocs, showing the different angles of the shoes. Finally, our last box/part of our commercial will include the actors dancing as the crocs slogan comes on the scene concluding our commercial. Since my partner and I don't have a plethora of different color crocs, during the time of recording if anyone else with a pair o...

Genre Research: Big Catch

Image
  When looking for comedy short films on the websites given, we were unable to find any pertaining to comedy My team and I decided that it would be best to just look for one on Youtube rather than struggling to find one on the websites. Before going to Youtube we checked the regular internet where we mainly found films in our genre but they were full length. The first film we found on Youtube was "Big Catch." This interested us first because of the thumbnail. The thumbnail for this short was a picture of a man sitting with headphones and a shark behind him smiling. Seeing this, we automatically assumed that the shark would be trying to eat this man, but we did not know how it planned on going about it. In this film, there is no dialogue but there is diegetic sound where we can hear the birds making noise, the squeaking of the the shark on the deck, and the shark screaming as he realizes he is about to be thrown back into the ocean. Since this was an animated film, a lot of ed...
