Planning for my 8BitDo SN30Pro+ Controller

Now, to get down to business, it's time to PLAN

Props

Since my group (again Me, Myself, and I) is planning on producing a commercial about a controller it's kind of obvious (I hope) that a controller is needed. Luckily I own an SN30 Pro+ which will be the main star of the commercial and it's in good condition. I also want to be able to show the controller in action so preferably I would also want to include a computer to maybe get some shots of a person (probably me) playing a game using it but keeping the controller focused and the screen blurred. Also, a monitor would be needed so I'll also use my monitor and maybe a large screen T.V.

Costumes

Causal clothes would be alright for costumes but still, it can't be too casual otherwise the overall image of the commercial would look bad (you can't have someone in their shorts and a t-shirt casually gaming, us gamers have class). For lower wear, something like khaki pants or jeans could work and for upper wear, a blank t-shirt feels like a good idea because it would be the safest choice. Wearing socks would be recommended but shoes would most likely not.

Schedule

(Will most likely have some changes could be Life or Rona whichever strikes first)

10/22/20: Research will be done and accounted for about the company in question and commercials about gaming equipment, specifically the controller.

10/23/20: The planning has been finished and has been recorded down and posted and is ready tor reference to incase any unfortunate mistakes happen.

10/25/20: The storyboard that represents the 30 seconds of the commercial will be drawn to the best of my abilities (that I'd like to believe is as creative as my personality) with enough detail to be a good reference for the shots used in the commercial

10/28/20: The filming of the commercial will commence (may possibly start on the 27th if conditions are alright).

10/29/20: The editing will take place on the day after filming and may take to 30th in case extra things need to be done.

Location List:

The main area of the recording will probably be at home. The two specific areas I'm thinking of is the living room (or drawing room for those in the UK) and an office-ish bedroom.

The living room would be the area for showing the controller in action and to get some good shots of the controller. This location could also be used to talk about what this controller has that makes it better than other controllers.


The b-office-room (bed\office/room) would be used for comparisons with maybe a keyboard and controller. This can also be used to get people that mainly use the PC to be interested in this controller and to give the pros of using a controller over the keyboard and mouse.

Backup Plan

For the scenario that my computer decides to not work (I pray that this does not happen in any circumstance) I would be able to use a laptop for gameplay and/or my phone connected to a screen to give an illusion that the computer is working.

And if the television or my monitor encounters a problem there is an extra T.V. that I will probably be able to use but the location would be in a different part of my house.

And in the most extreme circumstances like wild children on the loose (younger siblings) I'll have to switch to a more enclosed area.

 So the editing was interesting. It mostly consisted of more cutting than I would want to deal with. Some, honestly all, of the clips, had to be trimmed down. This was the majority of what I have been doing. Even though I was mainly trimming shots, I was able to find some moments where I could have some fun. The shots to be honest took way more time to trim and edit because I wanted the shots to match with the music so it was imperative that I make sure to properly cut the shots. When I got the music that I was going to use I had to cut it to match the required length of the entire video. But, I couldn't do it at the start because I didn't know how much the film would take. So most of the editing consisted of getting the actual film to go by as smoothly as possible. While at the same time cutting out as much as possible to shorten the length to one minute. Overall the process was similar to the others but this time I had more chances to mess with transitions. Davinci Resolve ha

Planning Storyboard for my Music Video

 Now for my storyboard, the average length of each scene would take around 5 seconds each to come together to make 12 pictures and descriptions to encompass the plan shown by the storyboard. Scene 1 In this scene, it starts out with a mid-shot with several many short shots of the actor getting out of bed. In this shot, the camera mustn't move so it will be recorded as one long shot and cut into shots less than 5 seconds. This sequence will go in time with the music that will be playing. This will come up to about 12 shots being used in the first 5 or so seconds and then a while also being a short shot it would be much longer and have a pan to a door exiting the room. I feel like including an easter egg or something like that in it as something random to give a light and funny feeling in the beginning. Scene 2 The second shot would also be a wide shot that is composed of multiple clips. In these shots, it will show a different part of the same room but in these shots, it will be the

Storyboard for my 8BitDo SN30Pro+ Controller commercial

 YO MAN HOW CAN YOU POST THIS LA- Sorry for being off schedule! A certain person forgot to post the blog but luckily with the power of overtime the commercial will be on schedule! Scenes 1. In this scene we start with a shot that views the monitor, keyboard, and the hands of a player (me). The player then starts up a game but struggles because he is using a keyboard (applicable in some situations). The shot would be from a medium distance to give a good view of the keyboard the screen is not the main point but it would be a good idea to play an actual game that works better with a controller rather than a keyboard. 2. In this scene the person has lost the game and is then very sad the camera would then zoom in on the monitor with a slow panning motion to emphasize the cause of this very depressing event. And along with this if possible the shot to be split with another on the keyboard to show that there is a relation between the loss and keyboard. 3. In this scene the camera makes a cu
