Filming in pairs
On our second day of filming we encountered a problem before we even started filming, our camera man Bliss was sick and couldn't come to school so I had to become the camera man. I had to learn some of the position I had to be to take shots and keep a steady hand. I had to do tracking shots and still shots. Also, I still had to be the director helping the main actor with his shots. We only needed to do a few shots due to the fact that we almost finished up on the first day. But missing a group member was challenging due to the fact that I couldn't hold up props or manage crowed control as well so we had some other groups help us with that. In addition I was pretty new to the whole camera man so I messed up a few shots. Thankfully Bliss called us from home to explain to me what to do and how to do it. She told me ways on how to steady my hands and to take deep breaths. To add on she gave us some ideas of some of the shots. Bliss also looked at some of the footage we sent her so she could verify. The few shot we had to do were retakes and the ending of the commercial. The last one took a few tried because we wanted it to be perfect. We had a little problem with other groups getting in the shot but it was quickly resolved. After we finished filming we talked about what do do for the editing. Then we helped here by groups film and catch up since this was the last day. Later we headed back to the classroom to discuss our plan of action for editing. We had some debate over what the end screen should look like. Finally we came up with the camera panning up and the logo appearing. In conclusion we were missing a member but lucky we had very little to do and we needed time to think about our editing process.
