Today we finished filming but didn't start editing. Since we didn't finish filming on Thursday we decided we needed to finish the filming today. Also, this time we did not have a shoe problem. Roscoe brought his air max 1's, I brought my Jordans, Zeke brought his slides and Paige brought her slides. We were fully ready to complete the filming process. The first thing we did was get all the camera equipment and we headed to the building 5 stairs to refilm our comfort shot. The reason why we refilmed our comfort shot was that we didn't want Zekes 270's to be in both the sport and comfort shots. We got Paige to film me, Zeke and roscoe going down the stairs and jumping on the patio.
The next thing I did was acting in the comfort scene. Since our friend Peter wanted Zeke and Roscoe to help film his commercial, Paige and I stayed back to finish ours. For this, I wore Zekes slides and sat down on the couch in the media studies class. Paige wanted me to look comfortable so I crossed my legs while sitting down and Paige got the shot. After this, we needed to finish dumping all our footage. However, we did run into a slight setback. We forgot the computer number we saved our footage on. Eventually, we did find the computer and we finished dumping. But again, we had another setback. None of the computers pinnacle studios worked.
Since none of the computers could edit we couldn't finish our project. But since most of the computers didn't work Ms. Cats gave us an extension. Even though the computers were extremely slow we needed to transfer all of our work. We decided we will transfer and dump all of our files on Paige's flash drive. It ended up working. After that, we returned all our equipment and finished the class.

Filming blog
When we filmed I did many things. I filmed some parts of our commercial, went into the commercial, and helped my friend film some of his commercials. So the first thing I did was get all the camera things set up. Since Paige signed the sheet for all the camera equipment I went and set everything up. We first went to the track field where we found a spot with some shade and good lighting. I took out everything with them and we set up the tripod on the corner of the field in the grass. But we ran into a little setback. We forgot some of the shoes. However, we did end up managing to finish most of the commercial.
After we realized we didn't bring some of the shoes we went and used our friend's pair of the same shoes. In the first shot, I shot a few clips of Zeke running in his Nike Air Max 270's. But again we had a little setback. Our camera was super zoomed in. Eventually, we ended up figuring out how to zoom out and we continued filming our commercial. Since the first couple of shots were good we also got a few other shots in my shoes. They put the camera on the floor and recorded me running into the frame. Then after that, our friend Peter needed us to record some shots for him and we did. I recorded an over the shoulder shot for him. Then we finally packed everything up and went to film the second part of our commercial.
Since this part of the commercial was fashion, we decided to film on the building 5 stairs. Since we didn't have the Air force 1's and the Jordans we decided to change up the fashion part of the commercial. We changed the shot of just the shoes on the steps to a more competitive scene. Since Paige was wearing vans we decided to make a part of the commercial with the vans in it. We made Paige stand in the middle of the staircase, made Zeke slide down the railing and kick her shoes and I got a close up of the Nike shoes. After that, we went back to class, got an sd card reader and dumped all the footage onto the computer. When we finished I got the sign-in sheet and returned the sd card reader. Paige returned all the camera equipment and the class ended.

Editing lesson blog
I learned many things today. I learned how to film with a camera and a tripod, check out a camera, how to dump, how to import and export files, and how to cut video and detach audio. The first thing i learned was how to film with a camera and a tripod. The second thing i learned was how to check out a camera. First, you get and fill out the equipment agreement paper. Then you bring the form to the teacher. After that, you write the equipment information on a form ( What # you got) and when you finish you place the form in the period folder.
The second thing i learned was how to put everything on the computer. Before you start to edit you dump all your files onto the computer. First, you look for the pinnacle studio app. Then before you click it you open a new folder on the desktop and plug in your sd card reader with your sd card in it. After that, you open the DICM folder and drag all your video files onto the new folder. If the footage isn't found on the DICM then go to the AVCHD and it'll be in the stream. After that, you eject the sd card reader, put sd card in bag and put the sd card reader back on the desk. All of this is called dumping.
The last thing i learned was how to import, export, and edit. First, you load the pinnacle studios app and make sure it doesn't crash (let it load). Then, you click on the + sign. After that, you click on the folder you dumped all the videos in and check all of the raw footage you want to use (unedited video). After that drag all the footage you want onto the middle gray box. All the text goes in the first box and all the sound goes in the last box. I also learned how to do effects. To do effects you click on the footage, click on effects editor and click any effect you need. I also learned how to cut video and detach audio using the tools in the bar. When your done editing for the day you can save it like any other program and when you're completely done you hit export.

Planning Blog For Nike Shoe Commercial
Props- Some of the props we are going to use for our commercial are sports apparel, specifically Nike shoes. The actors in our commercial will have something that relates to sports, like a water bottle, basketball or they may be wearing headphones. The main subject of the commercial, the shoes, will be our main props. The exact shoes we will be using are Nike Air Force 1's, Nike Roshes, Nike Air Max's, Nike Jordan's, and Nike Slides.
Costumes- The actors will be dressed in clothes that go with the shoe that the actor is wearing. For example, when the actors are running they will be dressed in athletic clothes (as much Nike clothes as possible). The costumes play an important role when it comes to the commercial because we want the shoes to look the best they can so people will be provoked to buy them.
Schedule- Our next blog will be a storyboard of our commercial. the story boarding will be on October 14. The next objective is filming. the filming will be taking place on October 17 witch is a early release and the next following blue day, October 22. After filming we will edit our footage. the editing will be on October 23.
Location List- We are filming in many different places. For our athletic shoes we are going to film at the track field to do a running scene. For our comfort shoes we are going to use the couch in the media studies classroom. For our stylish shoes we will be filming at the building 5 stairs, we will use the stairs by filming the actors walking.
Back-up plan- In case of an unfortunate scenario while filming, we have ideas ready to counter the situation. It is not unlikely that while filming rain will be present. That's why our idea to embrace the rain rather than hide from it will be beneficial. In case of rain, we plan to use puddles and rain to show how well our shoes hold up against any environment. Rain is not the only factor, we also have to bring into consideration the possibility of our team mate being absent. Thankfully, our commercial does not need 4 actors. We will work to play the part our teammate was supposed to.

Research Conventions and Codes
Research Conventions and Codes
Before even thinking about the production of our Nike shoe commercial, many aspects that must go into play include:
· Setting
· Lighting
· Products
· Actors
· Props
· Music
· Voice overs and other editing
· Camera angles
Setting takes much consideration as it starts us on our way to our commercial. In our commercial, we think an outdoor environment would convey the idea that Nike shoes can be worn in many different environments and will hold up. We will also use an indoor setting to shoe other uses for Nike shoes, such as comfort.
Lighting for our commercial would mostly be natural outdoor lighting. When being filmed indoors a spotlight may be used to highlight the shoes and make them look better.
Products are the shoes that are being used in the film. We will use many different types of shoes like Nike Roche’s for running, Nike Slides for comfort and Air Force One’s for style.
Actors are the people who wear and highlight the shoes abilities.
Props are all the other items we will use in our commercial. For example, a runner might be holding a water bottle or someone playing basketball might be wearing headphones.
Music in the commercial gives the viewer a better understanding of what the shoe is made and designed for. We wouldn’t use a laid back and chill song when trying to show off some Air Jordan’s. In our commercial, we will be using a hyped song when showing off sports shoes, a chill song when showing slides, and laid back when showing comfort shoes.
Voice overs and other editing is important to our commercial so it’s not only up to viewer interpretation when seeing the shoe in action. A voice over will be able to explain the shoe or even some back round. Our commercial will have voice overs throughout to make it easier for our viewers. The tone of the voice over will change according to the purpose of each shoe.
Camera Angles will be seen changing multiple times throughout the commercial. Depending on the scene, a different camera angle will be implemented into the commercial. We will use angles such as close-ups of the shoes, and tracking shots of our actors in the shoe.

First AICE Media Studies blog
Hello, my name is Elijah. I am 14 years old, Haitian and I was born and raised in Florida. I like to bike, play video games and hang out with friends. I currently attend Fort Lauderdale High School and I am a freshman. I'm a very likable, nice, and funny person.
Like I said before, I like many things. I bike and I pretty much do BMX. I have this type of bike called an SE bike. It comes in many different versions and my bike has 29" wheels. Its made to wheelie and do tricks, so its a really fun thing I do with my friends in my free time. I used play video games a lot but now I usually bike more. Some of my favorite games are GTA V, NBA 2K, Call of Duty and Super Smash Brothers. I don't like to be rushed and to wait on something or something. I know it may seem hypocritical but trust me its not. I also like a lot of Caribbean food.
I take 7 classes in my school plus a free period. My first class is chemistry. Many people think its hard but I find it fairly easy. My second class is study hall. I get to do work in that class. My third class is General paper. Its an English and writing class. My fourth class is Global prospectives. We learn about different viewpoints on different topics. My fifth class is Debate and we debate over specific topics in that class. My sixth class is Media studies. We learn about movies and how to make them. My seventh class is Comm tech. We learn about photoshop. My eighth class is Algebra 2. I think its pretty hard. And that's all about me!
