Planning

         Today in Media we are doing our planning period for our Nike commercial. Our assignment was to get together everything we need to be ready on a list so we can shoot when film day was here. We were all very excited to start because we all have been on board with our idea the whole time. We want to do a Nike soccer commercial where we show off all of their products like Nike cleats, Nike jerseys, and Nike soccer balls. We want to advertise how much better their products can make one perform and one of our main selling points would be how much above the competition they will put you if they utilize them. In the commercial, Alex would be the main player, I would be the goalie, and Aitan would be recording to get the best shots possible. Some things we would need to make this happen would be simple props like a goal, cleats, and a ball. However, filming the whole scene may be hard for us as none of us are really good at soccer, but we are ready to try our best.

Here is a list of things we would need:

Props:

A soccer goal and Nike ball. For our backup plan,  we would need a jump rope to show us training.

Costumes:

Since we will be soccer players, our costumes would be relatively simple, Nike cleats, Nike socks, Nike soccer shorts, Nike soccer jersey, and a Nike headband. For our backup plan, we would need Nike shoes, Nike socks, Nike shorts, and a Nike shirt. The difference between our backup and main would be that we do not need strictly Nike soccer gear for our backup commercial.

Schedule:

First, we did the conventions blog for the Nike commercial on 10/8. Today, 10/11, we are doing the planning blog for the Nike commercial. On 10/15 we are going to do the storyboarding blog for the Nike commercial, Then, we are then going to do the filming and the filming blog on 10/22 for the Nike commercial. Finally, on 10/24 we are going to do the editing and the editing blog for the Nike commercial.

Location List:

We are going to be filming at the school soccer field, the bleachers, and other spaces around it like the sidewalk.

Back-up Plan:

Our back up plan will be used if it starts to rain because then we wont be able to use the fields. Since our main idea is Nike, we don’t need to use the whole soccer idea, we can make it revolve more around training instead. We can go to the covered stairs that lead to the library and have someone running up and down the stairs as if they were training. We could also have someone do sprints in the outside hallway by building 17. If we edit these together correctly, we can use the stairs and the sprints as footage for the training commercial, instead of having it revolve around soccer. We could also bring a jump rope and take videos of that for the whole training theme if we find ourselves short of time.
