Today was our last day of filming the final shots for our commercial. This day was also meant to begin the process of editing for our commercial as well. However, none of the school computers would run Pinnacle Studios! This meant that we would be behind on the editing of our commercial by a day. Nonetheless, this also gave us most of the class to finish filming our shots, which worked in my group's favor. We first checked out the cameras and then gathered our props to head outside. I had to change into my costume since I would be included in the shots today. We then had to re-film some of our shots, as we had a costume change for Alicia and Audrey. We re-shot an over-the-shoulder shot, a zoom-in shot, and a tracking shot. After re-filming, we then proceeded to film the rest of our commercial.
This time, I would be playing a Vans store employee for the commercial. My part was to hand the box of Vans to Alicia. After bringing a table from the media center to the outside, we then began setting up our props to make it look like a Vans store. We had trouble deciding on what shots we should film first. However, I eventually came to a conclusion which my group agreed with. We filmed a medium-long shot, pan, POV shot, and a close-up shot in our “Vans store”. After this, Alicia changed into her Vans so we could film our next shot. Next, we headed to the stairs to film the tracking shot of Alicia's shoes. We then finished off filming by shooting a pan and zoom out of the crowd. Now it was time to gather our props and head back to the classroom to dump.
After returning our filming equipment, we asked for an SD card reader and began the process of dumping our footage onto Audrey's flash drive. Due to us dumping our footage last class, this time, dumping became a lot faster and easier to do. After dumping all of our footage, we then reviewed some shots as a group to see if they were satisfactory for us. We also reviewed some shots that we filmed last class to see if they were also satisfactory. After reviewing, we ejected the SD card reader and returned it back. I also ejected the flash drive and returned it back to Audrey. However, we could not begin editing today as Pinnacle Studios was down. But, it ended up working out for us, as we used the extra time to re-film some shots for our commercial. Moreover, the next class will be completely focused on editing. This is where our shots will fully come together to make the final product of our Vans commercial.
