The Blistering Heat Made Us Tired

On Thursday September 30th, my group and I went out to begin the filming for our commercial. One of our group members was not able to make it today so we had to adapt out filming and swap out one of our group members in one scene for another. We had to then make sure everyone in the group knew what we were doing since we had one less person. After assigning new positions, we had to make sure it confirmed what we had on our storyboard. We had to get outside quickly to the senior patio to film so we could film all of our scenes in time before lunch started and we were not able to film any longer. Once we made it to the senior patio, we began to get into our positions and I was the main actor in all of the scenes. We then went to set up props and make sure the area was cleaned and ready for filming. We began to film every scene one by one starting with the first scene. We took multiple takes of each scene to make sure we were happy with the quality of each one. After each scene was completed our group made sure it matched with what our storyboard had. We did not have that many issues besides the school bell ringing which caused us to retake some of the scenes we have filmed. Another issue we ran into was people walking or riding a golf cart into our scene or people talking in the background that caused us to need to re shoot that scene. I was the main actor in all of the scenes so the camera man and I were making sure that I was in the right position and reviewing everything that I needed to do. He let me know where I needed to move and what I needed to do so the shot came our right with good lighting. We filmed for about 55 minutes to set up, film, and do retakes. Due to this we were not able to gather all of the clips we needed. We believe that we would have had enough time to make our commercial if we were able to use all of the time we had to film and not use it for setting up, taking down, and filming. After we ran out of the time we had for filming we went back to the classroom and began to speak about ways that we could improve on the clips that we filmed today. Then after that we spoke about what can we do the next day we film. We then finished the day off by discussing what type of editing styles we will use with each shot to make sure it not only matches our storyboard but to make sure it went well with the overall design of our commercial.

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...
