VANS Commercial


The video above is the final product for commercial Vans. In this blog I will be talking about my experience while doing this commercial before and after. Going into to this commercial it was a lot of choices that I could choose from. I decided to go with Vans because I felt that would be the least common commercial that the student would pick from. I personally have always been the person or student that likes to be an outcast. Which is basically just different from the rest. I will admit there was many times that I wanted to quit creating the commercial for Vans. I almost switched my commercial idea to Nike. But, I felt that it was my calling to do Vans somehow. So I decided to continue out with the idea. During the project was the most exciting for me. The whole fact that I would making a blog and a commercial was just overwhelming. One thing I could say I liked about this project is the creativity and imagination it allows. There was no script unlike many classes AICE Media allows you to test your personal mind and critical think. There was no particular way to do this project it was up to me on how I wanted it. Also, the blogging was a good experience for me. This tested my communication & speech skills which I believe no matter how good you may think you are at it there is still room for improvement. Along the course of this project I even picked up some editing skills that I would be able to use in my near future. So I want to take this time to thank Mr. Katz and Ms. Marchionne for coming up with this project. I really enjoyed it and can't wait to use more critical thinking skills soon. ENJOY THE VIDEO !!!

Music Video Blog

Today's the day! The video above is the final product of my music video. For this blog, I will talk about the experience before and after doing this video. Heading into this project I was a little nervous. I was nervous because I didn't think I had the capability to recreate a music video. LIKE EVER! But I  knew it had to get done so I went headfirst into it. The first step was to pick a song, this was where I  had to use my creativity. Out of all the songs I ended up choosing "The Bigger Picture" by Lil Baby.  The reason I decided to do this song was that Lil baby is one of my favorite rappers. Also, the meaning  behind the song was the "black lives matters" movement. After the tragic death of George Floyd which  was a man who lost his life at the hands of the police. Or the people that are supposed to "protect the  people" and make the streets safer. George Floyd is just one of the black people who have lost their  lives due to this type of brut...

Filming Process

 For my Vans commercial the filming process went quite easily. I am going to explain step by step how the filming process went. To begin with, I had to make sure the setting was right. This meaning the area and the weather. It was raining for most of the weekend so luckily on Sunday I was able to start my film. This was also important because I wanted the video to start of with a sunset. Although I wasn't able to capture the sunset I was still able to capture the beautiful setting of the sun that day. After that I was able to gather my clothing. I wore two sets of the clothing in the film. The first being a black & white hat, a plain white T-shirt, khaki shorts, and my black & white checkerboard Vans. The second being a red & white visor, the same plain white T-shirts, the same khaki shorts, and my red & white checkerboard Vans. The purpose of this is so that the audience can see right of the bat what is being advertised to them. In many commercials people are ...

Introduction To The Music Video Project

Image
Good afternoon, my name is Nicholas Smith. Today, I was given the opportunity to create a music video project. Given to me by lovely teachers Mr. Katz and Ms. Marchionne. Through the AICE MEDIA department. This will be my second project given to me and I can't wait. For this project I've  decided to work on it by myself. Due to the current circumstances I have chosen to do this project  alone. I don't want to interfere with others resulting with risk of the life of myself and others. I believe  that doing this project alone is the safest option. For my project, I have decided to do "The Bigger  Picture." Which was made by Lil Baby an artist from Atlanta, Georgia. "The Bigger Picture" was the  in fact voted the most iconic song of the year. I decided to do this song as it speaks on the behalf of the  "black lives matter" movement. This song was created as a  reaction of the "George Floyd" killing.  George Floyd was 46 years old when he...
