The Filming Continues

 We continued filming the next class, as we still had a lot more shots to do. Once again, my partner brought the jackets and two gatorades, and I brought the other two. We decided that even though I filmed the red and yellow shots, we should bring them as backup in case we needed to reshoot them. That proved to be go choice, because after completing the green and blue shots, I decided that we should redo the red shot. Before that though, we shot the green gatorade. It was fairly easy to shoot, as I got the hang of the the angles and movements from the first day shooting the red and yellow. We didn't have any interruptions for the green shot, so I didn't need to film it twice. I filmed the blue shot next. It went well, so we moved on. I filmed the redo shot of the red gatorade next, and we were set, as that was the final shot where I needed to rotate the camera 360 degrees around my partner.
  The next round of shots I had to film, which was my partner drinking the gatorade. Since she was in the red jacket already, I just decided to film her drinking that one first. It took quite a few tries, as she was going too fast, or making a wrong move, but we eventually got it. We filmed the both the yellow and the green in one shot, as they didn't have anything wrong with them. The blue shot gave us trouble, as I messed up quite a few times, and she drank too slow. We decided that she wouldn't really drink the gatorade, as we both wanted to take them home and actually drink them, so I had her pretend to drink them. I think the shots still came out good, and I don't really think that it is noticeable. By this point, we had most of our filming done, but we had one more shot to film. 
  In editing, I plan to add the Gatorade logo and a custom slogan that says, "Gatorade, for when you're feeling, and falling, down." 
  The final shot that I had to film, was my partner falling. This scene will be added to the end of the commercial, after the slogan, to signify the falling quote. It took us about 4 tries to film it correctly, as I wanted to get a realistic looking fall, without my partner accidentally hurting herself. We eventually got the shot, and since that was the last of what we had to do, we went back inside.

Filming the Rest of our Video

     After filming and editing a majority of the video already, I only had to shoot a few scenes. I had to print out a few pictures we took on the first day we filmed, and film a stop motion scene of them being added on top of each other. This gave me a lot of trouble, as I could find anywhere to print out the pictures. I went to two different Walgreens, but both of their photo departments were down. We also when to CVS, but had the same results. Eventually, we just had to got to Walmart and get photo paper for our printer, which I didn't know my printer could use. We went home and It worked fine, so I got to work actually filming.       I set up my area on my dining room table, using my parent's phone as a flashlight, and my phone to take the pictures. I set up a stand for my phone to keep the pictures steady, and I took the pictures, adding one photo each time. I sent it to my laptop, added it to the video, and moved on to my other scenes. The last s...

First Day of Filming..... A Partial Success

     The first thing I filmed was the scene with the sorceress (played by my sister) running through the woods. We went to a small local park close to my house to film. It was an all around difficult experience. We had to find a position that would hide the street and cars around the park. Along with that, we had to get into good positions where I could film her when she ran. It was extremely hard. We had to reshoot so many times. Keeping up with her was hard, especially when I had to try to keep the camera steady. I have so many shots that started off good, but by the time she got to running, were all blurry and cut off. She would either run too fast for me to film, or run to slow, where I couldn't make it believable. It took many tries to even get the first scene right. We eventually got it, which was a relief. The next scene also took a while. It was hard getting the right angle and positions for the next scene. We tried over, and over, and over to get something we cou...
