Blog: Another Day of Filming

So today was another day of filming, but we also got some editing in. We went outside and got chairs on the shady part of the track. My group and I discussed whether we need to film more, and Rashawn said we do. Rashawn took out his computer and told us that he started making some edits with the good footage. I made critiques of the edited footage. Once, my group and I finished looking at the edited footage, we decided that it was time to start reshooting some scenes. We needed to change the first scene so that it appeared that Alex was in the lead of the race. I helped position Alex and Jorge on the track, with Alex in the lead. I took turns with Rashawn filming with his phone. I kept doing it over till we got the footage perfect. We also needed to redo the eye level shots. I told Alex and Jorge how they should look in the camera. I helped Rashawn angle his phone camera correctly to get the perfect video. Once we finished redoing the eye level shots, we needed to film one last part of the commercial. I took us to a sunny part of the track and my group and I discussed what we needed to do. We needed to have one last running scene in the track, with Jorge in the lead. I positioned Alex and Jorge on the track once again, this time the sunlight hitting us. Rashawn and I took turns filming the race until we got the perfect shot. Then, we watched over the footage and I suggested that we should spend next class editing. Since we finished, I packed up my things and went back inside.
