Researching Our New Idea

Research: 

My group is doing our commercial on AirPod Pros. Typically in apple commercials there is one main character using the specific apple product.

  • Music is used in almost every apple advertisement and comes from the Apple Music app (usually upbeat incidental music).

  • There is no specific dress code, the actors wear trendy or just their normal style clothing.

Apple commercials use most of the same types of cuts.

  • Jump cuts along with upbeat music are used to create an exciting mood and get the audience pumped up.

Apple commercials also use most of the same shots

  • Tracking shots are used and follow the main actor to show the actio they can do with the product. For example: jumping, dancing.

  • Close up shots are used either when the actor puts the AirPods in his ears or takes them out.

Conventions and Codes

  • Some conventions and codes that Apple uses includes ending the commercial with the Apple logo and the apple product name that was advertised. 

  • Another one is the main actor is typically dancing since they are most of the time listening to music.

  • Typically while listening to music they are walking in a crowd or taking part in many actions.

  • The apple product is also always in the frame and is usually paired with another apple product, for example an iPhone or a MacBook.

Use of Rhetorical Devices

  • Apple uses pathos in their commercials, typically positive not negative, meaning they want to make you feel happy if you have an apple product.

  • They also use logic or logos to show that their products actually work, for example showing that the airpod pro’s are noise canceling by muffling background noise.

  • Sometimes they also use logos in statistics form.

  • They use ethos when they have genius guest stars explaining the products and how they work.

Our Oddball Day to Filming

Image
Today was the first day that I planned to film. It started off according to plan where I met the people that I would be filming with at their house to pick them up and get ready to film. We then headed back to my house to gather all of the supplies needed for the film. I then checked the weather forcast and saw that it was supposed to rain in two hours. Which gave us just enough time to start filming at one of the locations. I thougth we would have time and then it would start raining and it would all be okay. But, as we headed to the filming location it started to rain super badly. But, because of where I live you can usually wait 15 minutes and it will go away. But, today it was not showing any signs of slowing down and it qctually got worse. So, after sometime waiting at the filming location and seeing it begin to flood we had to decide what to do. Some said we should just wait it out some more and some decided that we shoul leave. So, we decided to then leave and go home. When we g...

The Start of a New Chapter

Hi there, my name is Aaron Shaffer and I am a student at Fort Lauderdale High School. I am 16 years old and in my third year of high school. Over the years, through the opportunities I have been able to receive, I have been able to achieve a lot academically. One of those achievements was being able to be a part of the Cambridge program at Fort Lauderdale High School which has allowed me to take multiple college level classes that are allowing me to receive credits, scholarships, and more that I would not have been able to receive otherwise. A little bit about my backstory is that I was born in Fort Lauderdale and have spent all of my life here. I find it a great place to live and enjoy the things that it allows me to do. Having access to so many different activities has allowed me to have many memories made with my friends. Things such as going on jet skis, boats, water skiing and more are things that I could not do in many other places year-round. When I am not out on the waters, som...
