Filming

     Today I filmed my Starbucks commercial. When I got to the classroom, my teacher handed out SD cards, cameras, and tripods to our entire class. I checked out one of each items listed above for my partner and I to use. Afterwards, everyone went to their filming area which they planned in their mis-en-scene. My partner and I gathered our filming equipment and proceeded downstairs to our filming area. Since the cafeteria was not available and my media classroom was occupied, I had to change my original and backup storyboard. I adjusted my new storyboard to best fit an outdoor setting. I had an hour and twenty minutes to film my commercial. I used my time wisely, ensuring to film each scene multiple times to have a plethora of scenes to choose from.
      In the first scene I wanted to capture a student rushing to sit down and do their homework last minute. My team mate was the student and I was behind the camera. I filmed a long shot of “the student” rushing down the hallway with an anxious look on her face. I filmed this scene three times to be sure that I could later choose the best footage. In the second scene, “the student” scrambled through her books, looking for her assignment; This was projected through a medium shot. In the third scene a Good Samaritan (me) who sees the student under stress decides to ask what’s wrong. To film the previously stated, the camera was on a tripod, I pressed record, then my team mate and I went into action. Of course, I will edit where necessary. In the fourth scene, I walked back on camera and handed the student a Starbucks bottled drink.
      Overall, it was a successful day of filming. I admit: it was quite fun. However, we had a few difficulties in the beginning.
