For this project, our commercial will be about Gatorade.  Props-  As we are doing a Gatorade commercial, our only props are Gatorade bottles. We have 4, one red, one yellow, one green, and one blue. Costumes-  There are only two of us in the group, so one of us will record while the other will be the actor. We are doing 4 different gatorade flavours, so we have corresponding jackets for each color. The bottom wear wouldn't matter, as we plan on filming each part on the same day. The rest of the outfit wouldn't matter, as the actor is just playing a regular person.  Filming-  We plan to film most of the commercial on October 1st in the grassy area behind the round benches. It will hopefully only take one day to film. As a backup plan for if it rains, we plan on filming under one of the walkways close to that area. We plan on filming the same person in 4 different scenes, each scene with a different color scheme, and circling the person before cutting to the next scene. We also p

Hi. My group for the commercial project just consists of two of us. Me and my friend Naeemah. We've been really good friends since 8th grade, where we had half of our classes together, so I know we can work well together. I met her through a mutual friend who was in one of our classes in 8th grade, and we meshed well so it lasted. We're now both in 11th grade, and have had a few classes together throughout high school. We're both creative people, so I have no doubt that we'll come up with cool ideas. We both like reading, and coming up with story ideas. I really enjoy being around her and I'm glad we have the chance to work on such creative projects together. I know that this project is going to be interesting, and fun, as we are both creative minds that can come up with cool ideas. With it just being the two of us, It may be difficult to come up with out of the box ideas, as more brains means more unique ideas, but it also makes it less likely to have conflicting t

Hi! My name is Olivia. I'm an 11th grader at Fort Lauderdale High School. I'm in  AICE Media Studies and I'm in the Cambridge program. I'm taking this class  because I've always been interested in the behind the scenes aspect of  turning an  idea into a visual film. The class seems really cool right now, as we've  learned  some filming terms that seem really interesting. I'm not really into being on the  camera as that's just not fun to me. However, I feel like being behind it is so  much  more fun, as you can control  what's happening and how a scene turns out.  I  don't  have much going on besides homework, but I do have a dog at  home  who's really cute.  (His name is Kenny, he's really cute) I like reading, specifically fantasy or adventure books such as Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. Reading just takes you to another place. A place where you can enjoy not having the responsibilities of the real world and be able to experience someth
