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 comple...
Today we started to film our music video. I was so excited to begin filming because that was my favorite part of the commercial that I filmed previously. We decided to film the scenes by location to make it easiest for us to get it done in a timely manner. I began by getting together all of our props and putting them it the right locations for our scenes. I had to substitute a prop when the item was broken and not able to be put on camera so I used a paddle to support it. After that, I changed my clothes into something that would go well with the theme of our song that is more upbeat and outgoing. After that my partner filmed while I was acting in the shots. After filming some of our scenes, I then cleaned up our props and made our filming area how it was before we set up everything. I then decided to grab extra props that we did not originally think of for the rest of the scenes that I felt would be beneficial to the music video. Then we all headed to our next location to start filmin...
Finally, I am ready to reveal the finished product. I feel that this is a great representation of my work and ability to produce a short film. But, as always there were things that I could have improved on. However, I feel that this is not the worst thing as this is the second-ever project like this I have ever done. I can see where my skills have improved since the first time I tried this earlier this year. Compared to previous times I took more load of the work on myself and it gave a true grasp of what my strengths are and what are my weaknesses. This will allow me to improve any production I produce in the future. Some parts that I thought were great are how we were able to take the storyboard blog into reality with our filming and the shots that we used in it. This time I noticed how I would be getting nervous while filming and that would come across onto the film to the end viewer. In the end, I felt the person that I worked with did a good job at what they did and we worked...
