Filming Blog: Front Office

Image
I filmed my commercial on October 27th. I filmed it during the day so that I could use the sun as my main lighting when I was filming outside. I brought the main prop which was the Louis Vuitton handbag. I also brought sunglasses so that the actor could either wear or hold it in their hands while they would pose for the camera. I also brought the main costumes that the actor would be wearing. According to the order of my storyboard, I first filmed the office scene. This is part of the last few scenes of my commercial. I started by filming the actor walk into the office with the handbag. I filmed the actor from front and back. After I have recorded the actor walking into the office I had her stand in the middle of the office to pose. I decided it would look better if the actor didn't look directly at the camera while she posed. Instead, I instructed the actor to look directly at the wall in front of her while I angle the camera diagonal from her. I then went to film in the lounge ro...

Planning for my Louis Vuitton Commercial

 Props:  Since I will be doing a Louis Vuitton Commercial my main prop will be a Louis Vuitton shoulder bag. I will also plan on using various types of flowers. The flowers will be used to add a bright and smoothing atmosphere. Costumes:  In this commercial, there will be four possible actors/models. Each of them will be dressed differently. Actor one will be dressed in a floral dress. If I won't have access to a floral dress, then actor one will be dressed in anything that gives off a vintage style such as baggy clothing. Actor two will be dressed casually while actor three will be dressed formally. Actor four will be dressed in a outfit that consist of this generations new definition of formal or elegance. I will also have them wear extra accessories such as sunglasses, watches, and earrings. Schedule:   On 10/22/20, I will complete research conventions and codes of luxury brand commercials. On 10/23/20, I will establish my props, costumes, schedules, back up ...

Research blog: Commercial Conventions

 I am doing a Louis Vuitton commercial. In these commercials, it usually displays a model casually walking, driving, or even posing. There are also a few commercials where the models complete different types of body movements to emphasize the products that are being worn around them.  They usually have the model that is in the commercial wear trendy outfits. The outfits range from floral bright dresses to black denim jeans. It all relies on the setting of the commercial.  The settings are often bright and relaxing.

The make-up is done naturally so that the models are seen as unblemished....
