Filming Blog: Gatorade Commercial


 So on the first filming day I was able to get most of the scenes for my commercial done. Eventually I came to back inside to start piecing the recorded pieces together.  The following day I will continue recoding after I have pieces together the scenes gathered so far.  Seeing as I was tired  from filming in the blazing hot sun for so long. I spent most of the day putting the scene together and getting the desired shots.

It was a struggle trying to find out how to work out how to use the camera at first. I wasn’t really used to recording things on my phone because I usually just take pictures. At first I was just acting out the scenes before we turned the cameras on to film. Once I figured out exactly how I was going to act it out we started filming. It took a few takes because the lighting wasn’t really reflecting well in the camera.

With the lighting not being the best I moved to a spot where the lighting was better. After I finished recording the first scene of the film i took a little break to reviewed the takes that we’re gathered. The takes weren’t the best so I started all over agin from ground 0. As soon as I started recording again on the second attempt I got the money shot for the first scene. Everything was perfect in the clip there was good lighting and the camera movement was perfect.

Since I had barely anytime left to film my second scene I had to rush it. The scene required me to do 3-5 jumping jacks before the next scene started. This scene was relatively easy to record and I was able to get it done in the limited amount of time I had. Overall the first day of filming had some rough patches but worked itself out in the end. I am looking forward to day 2 of filming and seeing what the final outcome of the commercial is.

  Horror films are designed to scare the audience and inflict certain emotions into them. The different aspects when it comes filming and editing horror has been investigated. To see what really goes into making a horror film pop out at an audience. For starters, the common lighting used in horror films is low lighting. It creates a mysterious mood that builds tension, stress, and fear. So that the audience will stay on their toes never knowing when something will pop out to scare them.

THE FINAL TASK

Image
 This final is something that I have spent a lot of time making sure that it was perfect. I spent almost five days filming the scenes for the final task, because I wanted every scene to be done with maximum effort. The editing process also took a long time to get done consuming at least 4 to 5 hours out of two days. While editing this final task I got stressed out but I kept going because I knew it would be worth all of the hard work. Sometime even requiring me to take a step back to avoid overworking myself and becoming too stressed. I had to improvise at one point and start to adjust the order in which the clips were placed so they matched up with the music. That was probably the only bad experience that I had but once I finished that up and was able to reflect on everything I was able to accomplish  I  and enjoyed myself. I've improved my editing and filming skills over the course of this project which shows in the final product. I even had a little fun with it and too...
