Props: Sydni and I are producing a Converse commercial therefore, our main prop will be Converse and other props may include a soccer ball and/or volleyball. Costumes: We will have one main actor who will wear Converse and different outfits such as athletic clothes/athletic uniform and casual clothes to represent the different uses of Converse.    Schedule: Research and planning: 9/22/21 Storyboard – 9/28/21 Filming Blogs – 9/30/21-10/4/21  Editing Blogs – 10/6/21- 10/8/21 Commercial – 10/821 Reflection – 10/13/21   Location list: We will utilize the soccer goal, the gym, potentially the weight room, and common areas such as the halls, stairs and patio. Using these different locations show the range of things Converse can be used in.   Back up plan: The only reason we would need to change our plan would be if weather is not permitting. The only thing this would affect would be the soccer clip. We would just film this in the gym.

  Sydni and I chose to do a Converse commercial. These commercials typically consist of people doing different activities in Converse sneakers. ·     Costumes can range anywhere from athletic wear to casual comfy clothing (as Converse have many different purposes). ·     Props include converse products primarily their sneakers.  ·     The appearance is usually comfort and everyday wear.  ·     The score throughout the commercial is typically upbeat, uplifting and motivating.    Conventions and codes in Converse commercials include the converse logo and slogan “shoes are boring, wear sneakers”. The meaning behind this slogan falls from the previous slogan “shoes keep it clean sneakers get dirty”.     In Converse commercials, the props are always focused on the Converse logo, typically located on the shoes. This is to advertise the brand to the audience.     The commercials typically use ethos- since Converse is such a big brand they will use different celebrities in their commercial

 My partner for the commercial is Sydni. I met her in middle school and have been close with her since. I think she is a great person to do this project with. We both always have similar ideas. Our personalities go well together and do not clash. I chose her for this project because I know I can count on her to do her share of the work. She is very creative and can help with the brainstorming aspect of the project. I love being in front and behind the camera and so does she. We always work well together and listen to each other. We communicate ideas well and can agree on things. We avoid arguing and have different skills we can provide to make a good commercial. I enjoy editing, which can help with the commercial. She enjoys drawing which can help with the storyboard for the commercial. I think it was a good idea to choose Sydni for my partner because we are very productive together. I would not have chose her if I did not believe we would not create an awesome commercial together. The

 Hi, my name is Lily and I am a sophomore in high school. I am very excited to start my journey in AICE Media Studies, especially since we are back in school full-time. I have always had a special interest in filming and editing, which is why I think this class is a perfect fit for me. I just bought a new canon camera for personal use, and now I can use it to film for AICE Media Studies. Other than filmmaking and editing, I enjoy playing and watching many sports. I play volleyball, soccer, and softball for my school teams and private travel teams. I also enjoy watching those sports, along with American football, baseball, golf, basketball, and more. I come from a very athletic family, with my brother being a college baseball player, my father who is a former professional golfer, and my other brother being a college football player. In total, I have three brothers and two sisters, me being the youngest. I love having a big family because there is always something going on, and I always
