My product uses the conventions of Coca-Cola by being fast-paced, upbeat, and including happy music. My product can represent the issue of being thirsty and desperately needing a drink. This desperateness is conveyed by the fast-paced nature of the commercial. My product represents everyone, as Coca-Cola is a product that appeals to almost everybody. It does not really have a specific group it represents or appeals to.
My product engages with audiences by being a fast-paced commercial which draws viewers in and gets them interested. The music gets them pumped up and energized, which reflects the product of Coca-Cola. The commercial is directed towards many people, but mostly people who are just thirsty. This commercial would be distributed in pretty much everywhere. The commercial could be shown at movie theaters, online advertisements, sporting events, and many more places. This is due to the versatility of Coca-Cola and how it appeals to many different people and age groups.
My production skills developed a lot throughout this project. Before this project, I had never filmed anything professionally before. I also had never edited anything professionally before. It was a real challenge to learn these things. At first, I struggled with the filming portion. Due to working by myself, I had to find a way to film myself while also operating the camera. This was difficult at first, but eventually I was able to come up with some clever solutions in order to work around this. In addition to this, editing was also very difficult. It was hard to find a good editing software that was intuitive and easy to use and understand. Eventually, I went to one of my friends and asked him for a recommendation and he gave me a good editing software that was extremely simple and intuitive. This software allowed me to edit my commercial without much hassle at all. All in all, I think I learnt a lot of production skills during this project, and I think this will help me in the next project.
I integrated several pieces of technology in this project. One of the most vital pieces of hardware that I used was actually my cell phone. I used my cell phone to film the whole commercial and store my footage. Without this piece of hardware, I would have never been able to even do this project. Another piece of hardware I used was my computer. I used my computer to run the software which I used to edit my commercial. Speaking of which, I also used editing software. This editing software that I used was a crucial component of completing the project. Additionally, I also used several online resources for my project. For example, I got the sounds and music used in my commercial from the internet. I also used the internet to inspire me and give me ideas for my commercial. These are just a few examples of ways that I integrated software, hardware, and online technologies into my commercial.
