New ADVERT Diary

06/01/17:

So far we have planned out our advert and what is going to happen in it. We have also completed the  costumes and props list as there is only the skateboard and and his clothes in order to sort as he skateboard already. We have also drafted out an idea for our advert to follow. The idea is that Toby will be quite bad at skateboarding because of the hair in his eyes up until the point where i come along in the advert and give him VO5 styling wax. When i give him the wax, he will then be able to keep the hair out of eyes and he will become better at skateboarding instantly with some fast paced music in the background.

We have discussed many ideas about how we are going to make the advert a lot longer and we have decided to add both Luke and Tia both doing other activities. Luke will be in the Gym boxing, he will be very bad at punching the punchbag and as a result hurts his hands due to not knowing how to throw a punch. I will then come in and throw the vo5 wax to his good hand and when he puts the vo5 styling wax into his hair, he will be able to throw punches and will be good at boxing. For this we also came up with the idea that he will have a bottle of water thrown over him before the shoot happens so that it looks as if he is sweating a lot and can also look good for the slow motion shots we had in mind. Tia, will be dancing in the studio and she will keep falling as she cant stick a landing. She will then look over and see that there is a tub of vo5 wax sitting next to her and the camera will change focus from Tia on the ground to the vo5 as she sees it on the stage. We also had some very good transition ideas which we are planning to attempt through the production. I will list them below:

Weight dropping (Luke) - Skateboard landing (Toby)
Ribbon dropping (Tia) -  Glove tape dropping (Luke)
Wall transition (Any) - Wall transition (Any)
Spinning dancing from birds eye (Tia) - Skateboard Wheels (Toby)
Putting hat on (Toby) - Laying on to the bench-press (Luke)
Punching the punch bag (Luke) - Jumping spinning (Tia)

These were a few ideas which we had for transitions however, we may change them depending on the availability of some equipment and flow of the production. We have also decided on the locations we are going to use for our production. For Toby's skateboarding part, we are going to use the reck skate park in front of college. This is a good location for filming as we can shoot there during lesson time due to the availability being always open and it being so close to the college. For Tia's dancing we are going to use the dance studio in college as it is easily accessible and also means we can shoot this in college time. The gym in the college is also easily accessible which means that we will be able to use it for Luke's section. The only problem we have encountered so far is that sometimes there are people in the gym and dance hall which means that we may have to work around these times or possibly find a new location. Tape is also an issue as we have been informed that the college doesn't have boxing tape which means we may have to purchase some for the production or find a substitute.

Today we have added in the sound effects to the video so that it does look like clips and just music. We showed Josh the video and he suggested that i change the zoom on the second to last clip so that its zooming in the whole way through instead of it just randomly zooming half way through. I have amended this and it looks a lot better now.

Today we have scanned our pre production paperwork and added it into our blogger. We also discussed if we were going to make a second advert and decided that it would just be a lot of unnecessary work.
