Production for Commercial

 

On Thursday I took the time to film for my commercial. 

I decided to do it in my room, due to my commercial being about guitars. My room contains music posters all around. I assumed this would fit the theme well. When advertising guitars, I thought there would be no place better to film. I started off by putting the Beatles Revolver record on the record player. This is just a scene of me starting the record and the music will be queued after. I tried to do a take just with the lighting the way it was in my room. This was to dark and I had to use the light from a flashlight on a phone to shine a light on the subject. The final shot of this scened ended up being bright and well lit. This is why I decided to film all my scenes like this. The next scene was filmed with me and my bass, different shots were taken to find the best one. I ended up doing a close up shot of plugging the cable into the bass guitar. This was a close up emphasizing the process of plugging in then playing the bass guitar. The scene filmed after was a two shot of two people playing the guitar and bass guitar. This shows the togetherness of music. This also shows how music can give people a reason to connect. Then there was separate footage shot of two different people playing the guitar. I will edit this into a split screen. The last shot on the screen will be the two guitars on stand with the Epiphone logo on top.
