Filming Blog
On Thursday, October 29th, I began filming my commercial. At first, the weather was very unfavorable. I thought I wouldn't be able to film that day until the skies began to clear. A little over half an hour later, the sky cleared of clouds and I was able to film. I realized that I was not able to use a tripod for most of the scenes like I imagined, so I asked my sister to help me film while I was the actor in the shots. For some scenes, such as 1, 3, 6, 7, and 8, I was able to film by myself. The remaining 3 scenes were filmed by my sister. As the director, I made sure all equipment was in the proper position and all the shots were filed with a steady hand. It was filmed using an iPhone, using a tripod for specific scenes. I included a drone scene that took a bit of redoing to perfect it completely. I drove around to different locations for each scene and worked around the script/storyboard. Some of the clips did not have the actor completely in the shot meaning no wardrobe change was necessary. The total amount of the filming time came out to be around 4 hours including driving time to get to each location. Overall, my commercial came out nicely. The filming process was more smooth than rigorous. I have lots of room for improvement in areas like editing but I will practice more.
