Xtreme energy drink film-evaluation

 I made an advert with my group, we made an advert called Xtreme energy drink.where did I get my idea from? We got our idea from internet, our first idea was to do a advert about shoes but later we changed to energy drink, we had to think how we can attract our audience.



 I worked in groups of threes and it was me, Abbi and Ben. Abbi was really good at filming and she had a previous experience with filming. Ben was good at acting because he did drama in high school so we put him as our main actor and the person who does the voice over. Our weakness was planning because we had to do so many retakes.
 The story was that the energy drink makes you stronger, we had a creepy person chasing the main hero but once he drinks the energy drink then everything becomes normal and the creepy person disappears. That will make our audience want to buy our energy drink.



 My role was being the creepy person and I had to chase the main actor however it was not a difficult role because I only had to walk towards the main actor which was Ben.

 I was completely happy about my work because I really enjoy filming and I had a good and easy role in the advert.



 I learned how to use the camera with tripod and I managed to increase my acting skills. The main thing i knew was how to edit a video because I did media before and I am familiar with video editing.


 In future I will improve on camera skills because I don't know to make the camera concentrate on someone.


My editing techniques are putting audio and mark in tool because I already knew them.

What did you learn?

Is there anything I could do different
Did I use the camera?

For this assignment, we have to work on a advert, my teacher Mark gave us some examples to inspire us to create a master piece.

In this assignment we are supposed to produce a freaky image using our own photography using our skills. Once we had made our image it would be used in an advert.

I was scrolling through  freaky images on google chrome  and I chose 10 images I liked  and added on my blog. I chose one of them an image of  a eye and a hand trying to reach it. I chose this because it seems really unique and interesting.

The characteristics of freaky images is that its all made up on editing software. The images I took were all freaky and unusual. 

By searching on google images I found an image of unusual urban art work which inspired to create something similar for my project. I thought it might be interesting to get a picture of an eye and a picture of two hands, combining the two photos an making it look like one photo as if the hands are holding the pupil of the eye.

The location was not so important because I had to zoom in the photo of the eye and also the photo of the hands, therefore the background: location did not matter so much. I used the help of a friend who modeled for me and posed. I took the photo of my friend's eye and hands. The props that I used were: the camera- main equipment and red head light to brighten up the photo.

I took few pictures to begin with, It took me at least two retakes to capture the photo of an eye and four pictures of the hands. This was done to make sure that pictures come out as accurate and professional as possible.

Things that I learned while doing this assignment were: how to use Photoshop tools such as: cropping, use of colour filters and disappearing images tool. 
I also learned the names of camera shots and how to use them: especially the mid shot, close up and bird's eye view.

If I had to redo this assignment, in future I would improve my work by playing around with the Photoshop software and using its tools to change the colour of the eye and also to blur the hands. It will be interesting to create the same photo but with a background next time.


My final image meets the definition of my work stated in my proposal. I did exactly what I mentioned to do for this assignment in my proposal. 
In my opinion,I believe that I have met the assignment criteria by creating a freaky image that could be used for my advert.
