Filming the Commercial

    Yesterday was the first day of filming for my group. My role was to film, which was interesting because it was my first time filming with a nice camera. It was very easy for me to figure out how everything worked, from the camera to the tripod. I spent the whole time working the camera and filming for our first scene. The scene is very short and very simple so as I was filming I had to make sure it was just right. I would film it and if it wasn’t perfect I would have my group-mate get in position for us to re-film it. I had us re-filmed it many times so that we had a lot of options to chose from.

    I figured things out as I was going. Like what I thought looked best for the scene and which angle looked better than we had initially thought. I did have some problems during the process. One of the problems that I faced was that people kept getting in the way of the shot so I had to wait or move spots. Another problem that I faced was that the sun kept going away so I had to wait until it came back before I could start filming him again.
   
    Despite the problems faced during filming, I was able to get my part done efficiently. Once we finished everything we had to do to get scene 1 done we went back to class. Once I got home that day I went through the footage and deleted all the bad footage. I then dumped the footage on to my laptop that could be used. That was the last thing that I needed to do until our next time filming.
