Planning for my Spalding Basketball commercial

                                                          Planning Blog 
Props 
There won't really be too much if any props in the commercial.


Costumes 
In the commercial, the actor(s) will have on appropriate gym clothes. He will wear athletic gym shorts, with a tank top that is playable in. Basketball shoes would have to be mandatory, for grip on the court and best performance. The actor may wear compression tights, depending on the conditions.

Schedule 
On 10/22/2020, I will research conventions of basketball commercials. 
On 10/23/2020, I will create the storyboard for the 1 minute commercial. 
On 10/24/2020, I will agree and establish with the actor on the location, props, costumes, schedule and  the backup plan if needed.
On 10/25/2020, I will film the commercial taking from it the necessary shots. 
On 10/28/2020, I will make the necessary edits and have the final commercial product. 

Location 
Our primary location, will be an indoor court, like L.A. Fitness, having enough space and basketball hoops. Will be properly ventilated, with an actual basketball court viewing the commercial will have an actual professional feeling. The sounds of others in the court also playing can make the commercial realistic.

Backup Plan
If we can not access the gym at the time, then an outdoor court will be the location of filming, in Lauderdale Lakes. These courts are double rimmed, making shots harder to make. With this condition, filming may take longer than expected. Conditions will most likely be cloudy and have signs of lightning. If the actor, for any reason, can't make it to the location, I will step in for him. I will have the proper attire to change into. I most likely would have been in it due to the new conditions and wanting to finish the film in a timely manner.

Planning: Storyboard

I started the opening of the play with a gradual opening to create a bit of suspense but, also to give the audience some time to get ready. The added track shot also adds a feel of the audience being their walking with jack, it's overall more intimate. Then after the track shot, there is a fast shot of the play and or movie getting straight to the point. (starting the show) The black screen transition is untimely to show the audience that one scene has ended and that was moving on to something else. This helps with older audience viewers as well guiding them to the next scene. The close-up shots added also add drama with it being a shot that happens out of nowhere. Also, the back and forth shots of jack's pacing add suspense as well to over exaggerate the feeling that's taking place. The showing of the clock or time passes by as creates more drama that keeps our movie and or purgative on the right path. On what we ultimately wanted our theme to be. The medium shot adds a se...

                                                 Research Blog: Soft (2007)               Soft (2007) is a tense short film drama directed by Simon Ellis.

Although both were assaulted only one wanted to do anything about it. The camera switches between a regular phone camera and the directors. The phone footage belongs to ...
