Guitar commercials usually show music connecting people, and bonds forming through the music. The content consists of shots and clips of guitars being played. This always involves a person showing enjoyment for playing their instrument. In my commercial, there were clips of me and sombody playing guitars, and showing enjoyment towards them. This represents social groups related to music and musicians. It may represent people in a band or people who generally just play the guitar for fun. This all in all can exibit the many uses of guitar for different occasions. My commerical mirrored these as well as showing the representation of a wide range of people. This proves that anybody can play guitar. This encourages the viewer that it is possible for even them.
2. How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text?
This project engages with all sorts of people. In my commercial you can see two very different people. One of them wearing a pretty simple outfit, the other more alternative. This shows that they are both playing and both enjoying these guitars, despite how different they both are. This appeals to everyone who may watch it. This is so nobody feels that they can't play the guitar or get one. Some scenes like the record player can show people who are fans of music , how fun it can be. By showing somthing well liked like The Beatles, and records, it may appeal to the average person. Showing that everyone has something to gain with playing the guitar.
3. How did your production skills develop throughout this project?
Throughout this project, I feel I have grown as a film maker. I have always enjoyed films and watching them, since I have been given the opportunity to make one, I got to see another side of something I am very passionate about. I had to research information about how these commercials were shot and see the angles and editing used. By being aware of these skills, it let me reflect them in my work. I really enjoyed filming and preparing for the commercial. It was really interesting to gather the props together and figure out what I was going to film and when. I am contemplating a career in the film industry, this further proves my ideas and dreams for this. By really feeling like I am part of the process of making the film, and staring in it, it made me feel like it was part of something special.
4. How did you intergrade technologies - software, hardware and online- in this project?
When looking into the making of my commercial, I didn't do anything too special. I just used my phone to film these scenes and clips. By using my phone I kept the filming pretty simple, since I am familiar with this filming. This made the commercial somewhat messy and low quality. In the future I would like to try use a camera and spend more time prioritizing the lighting and editing. The editing was somewhat sloppy as well. This is due to me using capcut to edit. It was a software I was comfortable with and understood, this doesn't mean it would be clean. There is a lot I still have yet to learn about filming and editing. I will definitely figure out more efficient ways to film and take advantage of technology for the next one.
