Filming Blog

 

Today me and my partner Leandro were able to go and work on production. Today we focused only on filming. We were able to take many takes with different shots, angles and movements. I was able to focus on filming while my partner acted. Our skills worked excellently together. Today my favorite part when filming was the tracking shot. I was so amazing to see the way the camera capture the true details of the entire scenery. Although it was a bit frustrating at first when filming. We had to do many takes just to do 1 scene. Seeing all our ideas being acted out makes me even more excited for the next step. I can't wait to dee our finished product that's why I enjoy each little step that is needed to create an elaborate and fun project. There were times where we had to change up ideas a little bit. But in the end it’s to create an easier and an even better looking commercial. Next class we are going to focus on editing and anymore filming if necessary. When filming I realized that your always thinking of the end goal. While filming I was in my thoughts like “Is this scene going to look good with the music?,”. I like that even in the early stages of the production you still need to incorporate every single detail. I really enjoyed filming and being able to capture mostly eye level and low level shots. I really didn’t want to act so when my partner told me that’s what he wanted to do it made it so much easier for both of us. Instead of us arguing about who gets to do what, we were able to just create it so that each of us could do something that we are want to. I like that we can each strive off of each other’s strength and use that to create a better film.
