Filming

      During our filming experience, I was the shooter at first because our shooter was not here during the first half of class. The scene that I filmed, was the scene where the actor walks through the camera as if she was walking from one side to another. It was because she is pretending to be tired and worn out because she came back from an intense workout. I had to get on my knees and record her from below to give the appearance of a low angle. We had to record the scene over and over again because the angle was not that good. So we re-recorded it about 7-8 times. But the 8th time things went well. We finally got it right, and now we can use the scene in the commercial.
     When the person who was going to shoot the commercial came back from buying dunkin' donuts for the commercial, we started shooting. She shot, the rest of the scenes for the commercial. After the scene of Stephanie walking from one side to another, we shot the scene of her walking from the opposite side of the hallway to the next. This scene was for the part of Stephanie coming back from getting her coffee. Before she becomes super energetic and happy from it. The establishing shot is a must have for our commercial. Why? Because it tells the audience where we are recording our scenes and things like that.
      Lastly, during our filming experince, we got help from a fellow student. Our tri-pod did not come with this little screw on piece to attach the camera to it. So I had to go all the way up stairs to obtain it. After we got it, we still did not know how to use it that well. So some of the clips will be a little lopsided. But after getting that piece we immeditalty started filming. Our camera only had about 48 minutes of battery life left and we did not want to lose our progress. We used up 46 percent of the battery life and quickly ran up stairs to dump everything. I did not have much to do since I am the one who is editing most of it. But I ran a lot of errands for the group. But since we had left over donuts, we all had a donut, and it was pretty good.
