My Pitch

Pitch #1: Two strangers cross paths never expecting to see one another again, but what happens when they appear in crucial parts of each other lives, through a dream version of reality that has consequences, and have to take turns saving each other from disastrous events to transpire. Will these strangers be able to save each other?  Pitch #2: The people around her are disappearing one by one and when they return they look like the people who were once there but acted out of the ordinary. Who are these new people, were there people to even begin with, or was it all in her head?  When I first heard about the project the first pitch came to mind naturally as I enjoy movies and shows that incorporate alternate realities that end up playing into reality. The second pitch came about as I began to think deeper and explore the suspenseful aspect of the thriller genre further. This genre is among some of my favorites so I knew that I wanted my pitches to reflect the characteristics o...

Research Blog: Commercial Conventions

Image
For my commercial, I decided to use Body Armor the sports drink. Although this drink is not as popular as Gatorade, I chose to do it because it is a healthier option and one of my favorite drinks. In this type of commercial, the viewers normally see athletic individuals taking part in sports or exercising. As I was researching, by watching different advertisements, this convention was expressed throughout the entirety of most ads. The actors were either in an outside setting or a training facility. The setting, facial expressions, and background music made the commercials even more powerful. The setting always seamlessly matched the intensity being portrayed in the advertisement. Moreover, the facial expressions of the actors also added to the excitement of the ad. To bring it all together, the background music was upbeat and it did not take away from the overall point of the ad. They utilized props like soccer balls, golf clubs, tennis rackets, basketballs, Body Armor, and much more. ...

CCR For My Music Video

Image
I hoped that you enjoyed my music video just as much as I enjoyed creating it! This project was more challenging than the last, but I am glad to be learning and progressing more. Without further ado, let's reflect on the production of my music video.   1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? The conventions that are used in the R&B genre can vary depending on the artist. In my music video, I used and challenged the conventions of the R&B genre. As I researched the specifics of the category, I observed that most of the videos I watched told a story throughout them. The storylines usually spoke on the aspects of relationships, heartbreak, love, and so forth. In the music video for Independent Women, this convention was challenged as the women empowered other women by expressing how capable we are and how successful we can become without men. I made sure to maintain this convention throughout my project by c...
