Critical reflection questions on my gatorade commercial

             1.) My commercial uses conventions in many was. For example, the film is narrative because I was making a short story on Gatorade to get the idea out that it is a great drink for refreshing yourself throughout a workout. I used low angles and at the person's height angle throughout the whole film. The low angles would give a really nice touch to the action parts of the commercion. I also used some far shots, close-up, and mid shots in. I also added music to the the commercial to give it a mood depending on what was being done during that clip and the mood I was trying to create. It represents a social group of people who do some sort of physical activity. The video was based on a simple soccer drill and then drinking gatorade. Which is good for my main goal to advertise the sport drink (gatorade).

             2.) My commercial engages with the audience because it gives them a short story of why people drink gatorade. For example in the commercial you see a girl doing a running drill and then drinking the gatorade to stay hydrated. It advertises the sport drink gatorade which has rivals like powerade. I uploaded the commercial to youtube . YouTube is a huge platform that many people use today and have easy access to. I choose this platform because many people go to YouTube to see other people opinions on other products. 

               3.) For this commercial being my first type of film recorded I learned many things through the process. During editing, it was the first time i've ever added sound to a film, so I had fun with adding the sound and editing it to the lengths needed. It was pretty easy and I didn't struggle with it. I also didn't use the same angles I switched it up a bit. Normally, I tend to record at the same angle and just stay in the same spot. But, for the commercial I would walk closer or move towards were the phone was pointing to. I tipped my toes into new waters during the film and ended up liking the results a lot. 

               4.) I integrated technology because I recorded the commercial with my phone and edited the commercial on my laptop. I uploaded the official gatorade commercial on YouTube a supper well known platform. Also, IMovies was the app I used to edit my film on my laptop.
