My Groupmates Are Great

Image
What's up guys we have a new project and I'm working with the same group as last time. My first groupmate is Maximus Macelaru. I used to go to the same middle school as him. I've known him since 6th grade. We have been really good friends since middle school. We had the same classes for 6th and 8th grade. In 7th grade we had no classes together but we saw each other in the halls. We've worked on group projects in the past so we have experience when it comes to working together. Me and maximus have had many sleepovers in the past on weekends. Usually we like to play games and just talk. We also like to order pizza and watch movies while we eat it. My second groupmate is Andy Hernandez-Vazquez. I have recently met him in the beginning of 10th grade. Since then we have become great friends. He is really smart and he maintains good grades in all of his classes. He likes watching anime. He likes to wear jackets everywhere. His favorite game on his phone is geometry dash. He ...

A New Beginning

Image
  Hi my name is Jibril Alkishawi. I'm 14 years old. I'm in 10th grade. I like playing sports like football and soccer. I like playing video games with my friends on the weekends. I also like going to the park. I joined this class because I thought it was going to be easier than most classes but now I realized I'm going to actually put in some effort to secure a good grade. My favorite subject is history. I like history the most because I find stories about the past very interesting. My least favorite class is chemistry. I like chemistry the least because it requires a lot of math and science together. I used to be on the football team back in middle school. I'm thinking about joining the high school team next year. My favorite color is blue. My favorite type of food is pizza. My favorite drink is coke. My favorite TV show is Demon Slayer which is an anime. My favorite movies are the Harry Potter series. My favorite holiday is Christmas because of the festive feeling it ...

Creative Critical Reflection on the Commercial

Image
1. Our product uses and challenges conventions by instead of just promoting a single brand of water we end up going against one and comparing them and saying then how the Zephyrhills water is better. We provided a more interesting way of promoting Zephyrhills water which grabs the readers attention better and that is how this commercial challenges conventions. Our product represents issues because some people aren't able to afford water so we provide a commercial about water that not only taste better but is at a more affordable price than any other brands. Our project can represent social groups because we have the same drive as them which is to get Zephyrhills water out to everyone since it is the best choice of water. 2. Our product engages with audiences because we tried to make it funny and short by making it only 30 seconds. Since people tend to lose focus after a long period of time we decided to keep it short and simple to be more enjoyable. Our commercial could be consider...

The Great Final Product

Image
 I love the way our commercial turned out. After the final editing additions it looks great. Andy revised the whole commercial after we finished editing it because he is the best at editing in our group. This was a great experience and it caused lots of laughter and happiness. From the funny edits added in to just being in a group with my friends made this one of the best projects I've ever worked on. The first time Andy sent the final revised product to the group chat the clouds in one of the scenes didn't look very well. But after we told him he fixed them and now the final product looks better than ever. We showed our friends and other classmates our final product and they were proud at what we made. In the end this truly was a great project. I had lots of fun and maybe hope to do it again sometime.

Great Editing Day

Image
 When the group first finished the filming I started to edit the commercial. First I edited the scene where max is running. I added music to make it more fluent. When he stopped running and took a break I paused the music to add an affect. Then he walked over to the backpack and grabbed out a Dasani water. Then he instantly spit out the water and threw it. I then edited the scene where max threw the water bottle and I cut it to a video of a Dasani water bottle getting thrown into a trash can. Then I edited the scene of "god" coming down from the sky. I added angelic music to affect the scene more. I then edited the shot of god throwing a water bottle to max. I cut the 2 shots into one by combining them together so it looks like the bottle was thrown straight towards max. Then I added music and put the commercial in slow motion as max drank the Zephyrhills water. I also edited it in slow motion for when he poured the water on his head. Then I cut to the scene where max holds t...

Filming Zephyrhills commercials with the Boys

Image
 Today me and my groupmates filmed our commercial. First we walked to the track. Then max the main character of our commercial ran 1 lap around the track to get sweaty. Then we filmed the first scene by making max sprint from place to place. Then we filmed the second scene of max being tired and crouching. Then we filmed him walking to his backpack and taking out a Dasani water bottle. While Andy was filming max in between scenes I was directing the whole thing and telling max what to do and where to do it. Then we filmed max drinking the Dasani water and quickly spitting it out because of his horrible taste. Then "god" flies down from the sky and gives max the holy Zephyrhills water. I played the role of "god". When we were filming the "god" part we did an upwards angle camera to act like "god" was coming down from the sky. Then we filmed me throwing the water to maximus and we cut another clip to him drinking it and pouring it over his head sin...
