 The start of our research 

 

Today me and my group have decided to start our research about our commercial topic. We have been discussing for a few days and finally produced a topic. That topic being Crayola crayons. We will use this commercial to “promote” them, but we need our research to do it properly. With this research we looked at different Crayola commercials and saw what happens in them portray it accurately as well as doing other things. Since we all have a deep connection with Crayola since it played a big part of our lives, we wanted to make our research as accurate as possible. This is also our reasoning for choosing Crayola as our topic in the first place. We also decided to have our original concept for the commercial while also keeping the originality. 

 

What was in the commercial? 

  • Children using the markers/ having fun with the markers. 

  • Bright colors and bright lighting. 

  • Lots of laughter and smiles 

  • The narrator voice over. 

  • Soothing feeling  

  • Friendly/ bright and happy music 

 

To be able to recreate the same feeling and nostalgia that we got from watching those commercials in our past, that is when we will know we are doing something right. As we would like to send the same image as the original commercials It teaches us the importance of having and making a colorful world out of nothing but small pencil-shaped pieces of color. We would love to be able to express power and creativity as it did for themselves. Naturally when you watch a Crayola commercial, the actors are mostly kids as the company often aims for that age range. We will not be using actors from that age range, but we would try to make it more appealing to the age range that we are in now. We will not have many props to go around except for the basics like camera, the Crayola of course but we will see as time continues to go on. We will try to match the same setup that the commercial provided. Of course, there's a chance where this might go downhill and with this idea in mind, we have a backup plan with things we can rely on.  When observing old Crayola commercials feels and styles, they often contain a wonderland like feel with bright colors and it would be a pain for some and comforting for others. It's nice to look at but even harder to recreate with less professional equipment. We would like to recreate some acting that happened in those commercials and use the dialogue from it and put it in our newly revision part. Our group will try our best to make this happen and earn the grade we will get for this; we would like to dedicate a lot of time to this to get it done. With this, we will be signing off with research for today and try get more for by tomorrow.

 To begin, I'd like to acknowledge that filming began and concluded today, and I couldn't be happy than I am right now. Now that it's over, I'm relieved of a lot of worry, and I'm looking forward to seeing everything edited. When we were trying to film, there were a lot of stressful and annoying moments, but I'm glad we were able to get through them. There have been so many issues involving groupmates being irritated by one another, and I'm glad we can finally get this resolved. I really didn't like staying after school to go to the park to film but hey it got the job done and I barely made it home before the sun went down so it was a win win. On both sides I'm sure all groupmates felt the same way about our plans on filming. To be really honestly No matter how much I rather be at home its was quite enjoyable to spend time after school with friends. It was nice to mess around and laugh while filming. It was awkward when more people arrived at the par...

 Props - For this music video, we decided on going for a story that follows a group of friends that slowly fall apart as one person drifts away. Since we want to capture a scene with the friends on the beach, beach towels, hats and beach balls will be present. Costumes - This part will be very easy in our opinion as we will have regular swimming wear or just causal clothing. Though their will be scenes that won't be on the beach so their might be changes in clothing. For the swimming wear, it will completely up to the actors of what they are comfortable on wearing this shoot. Nothing to covered or revealing will be disagreed upon as the actors concern worths more. I'm sure most outfits people would chose are short pants with a t-shirt. Schedule - Be aware that these dates might not accurate as we will need to see for ourselves if these can work with our schedules. 11/16/2021, our group will finalize our ideas of what we want for this project. 11/17/2021, our group will gather t...

  What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?A title sequence (also known as an opening sequence or intro) is a means of presenting a film or television show's title, as well as important production and cast members, through the use of innovative graphics and sound (often an opening theme song with visuals, akin to a brief music video). This is often seen in fiction work like Harry Potter and is often seen in their movies and many other ones as well.   What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? In harry potter, there would be clips and images of characters that will take a big role in the film. Usually these characters are the main three, Harry, Ron and hermione. These being placed in the title screen or the opening gives credit where it's due for the audience to gather their attention and the crew mates as well.   What connotations do these images carry? According to cultural convention, imagery can represent feelings and mood. Words, soun...
