Final Day of Filming Blog

 On Thursday, November the 30th I finished filming with my partner. This time I just came to school in NIKE shorts, NIKE shoes, and a normal T-shirt because we were only filming my legs as I was running. The filming took place at the track field again. Also, my phone was used to film all the content for this commercial. I acted in all the scenes my partner filmed today. The first scene that was filled was a tracking shot of me running. This scene was really difficult to film. Since my partner had to follow me with the camera as I was running, the shot was extra hard to shoot. I had to match my speed with hers so that I would stay in frame. This scene was one that was re-filmed the most. The last scene was also really difficult to film. I don't think this one turned out as well as my partner and I thought it would. However, I think it wrapped up the commercial pretty well. This scene was supposed to turn out as: the runner with the NIKE shoes on running into a puddle. The difficulty with this was that the puddle was not big enough. Every time I poured more water on the ground it evaporated very quickly. So, there were a lot of shots that were not used because there was barely any water in it. Nonetheless, I think this scene turned out well even though there we a lot of difficulties that came with it. The weather was pretty windy but not as hot as the other filming day, so it did not affect my partner and I much, but it affected the water scene a bit. Overall, I think the shots filmed for this commercial project should turn out fine and I have learned a lot of things through the filming process.

Film Review

 After all the filming, and editing was done, it was time to start the next step. The entire opening sequence was done. All the scenes were but in order and the music was added. Lastly, the titles were set to appear on the final product. The next part was to find someone to review the video to critique it. A couple of people were asked as I thought it would be a good idea to get multiple people's opinions on it. My partner and I both agreed to interview different people and the take all of their critiques and fix the opening sequence to be great. The first person I asked was my friend Cece. I asked her to first watch the entire opening sequence first and then after go through it slowly to say what she liked and didn't like. The first thing that she said could have used some improvement was the acting. However, this obviously could not be altered as it would need to be re-filmed. However, she did say that she enjoy is the setting at which some of the shots were taken place in. S

Filming is a Wrap!

 On Saturday December 4th filming was finished. Once again there was a lot of difficulties with the schedules so it was hard to find a good day to film. As a group it was decided that filming would take place on Saturday morning. The first couple of scenes that would be filmed were at Aja's house. My group and I chose to film at her house because it was convenient since all of us knew where she lived. The first thing that had to be done was choosing the type of fancy clothing that had to be worn in the beginning. This was difficult since none of the group members had fancy attire. However, the group members and I came to the conclusion to wear black clothing. This would range from black jeans, to a black dresses. The next scene was of the group getting ready in the mirror (for going out to a club). The makeup was more on the dramatic side. When  switched to the second part of the video with the more comfortable casual clothing I had to remove all of my makeup. It was difficult and
