First filming expirence: The commercial


       Hello, everyone, as you know the school year, has been put online and I'm going to be showing you my progress through the year. This year I have taken part in many media projects and have absolutely loved all of them. The first project I will be taking you through is the first project I ever filmed edited and helped produce. Thought this one was a rough start and a rough project as a whole I ended up liking the complete commercial. So ill start you off with our storyboarding and planning. It went smoothly and we took our time to make back up plans for the weather for our background for the scenes. We finished all of our planning and scheduling and we were on our way to film for the first time. We got our checklist and we were on the way we picked up our camera, tripod and sd card. We walked all the way to our spot to film and it was perfect. We got the right spot and perfect lighting and we were just about done setting up. This is when things started going down hill. We are about to put the camera on the tripod and this is where it went wrong for the first time. The piece to connect the camera to the tripod wasn't in the bag. So we pack up the stuff and bring everything back to the class and get a new bag and this time we checked it before we left. When we got back to the spot it was less sunny and someone was filming in our spot. But we asked them and they were almost done so we start setting up again and we finally get the camera on and it only had 20 minutes of battery left. By the time we got back and finally got the right spot and the right tripod and the right camera we only had 15 minutes to film. We didn't finish what we were filming and we only had 45 minutes the next day. This time we made sure we checked everything and got all the filming done. We edited and found out it was hard to edit with pinnacle and we couldn't even find our right sd card this point. Turn out someone else had also filmed on it and was using it. So now that we finally got all of our films and started editing we had to switch to imovie because it worked better for us. We finished editing and now we could turn it in. NOw we had looked at our grade and we got a 90% not our best try but it was a good start.
