Filming blog

On day one of filming I signed out the supplies that I needed, like the camera, tripod and etc. Before I left to film I made sure everything was working. If it wasn’t, I switched it out for one that was working. After that, I went to the track to start filming. As you should know from my previous blogs my commercial is on a water brand called mountain valley spring water. My commercial is going to be someone drinking the water after working out. It’s going show how the water refreshes the person. The track was extra hot so it wasn’t hard to get that exhausted look. And I didn’t have to use water as sweat since the heat was making me sweat already. But the problem I realized I had, was being able to do the camera angles and movements while acting. So I decided to ask someone to help me.

I got to the track and had to open the tripod. I had trouble opening it at first. But then I remembered how Ms. Kats demonstrated how to open it. After I got it opened I finished setting it up by putting the camera on top. Then I turned on the camera and started recording. I had to do multiple shots to get a good enough shot. But I plan on going back out Monday to get better shots. I need to make sure I get all of the necessary angles. When it was time to close it, I was stuck like it was a puzzle. But I ended up figuring it out.

Now that I know what to do Monday with the filming process. It will be a easier and faster process. I’m going to also start my editing process Monday. I plan on adding titles. I plan on making scenes dissolve and etc. I want to add back ground music or a voice over. I want to edit out the background sounds in my video. I also want to cut some scenes out. I have a lot to do until this blog is finished. I have to keep working until this commercial gets to where it needs to be.
