Filming

      Yesterday was a very important day for my group and I. We can't make a commercial without filming so that's exactly what we did. The beginning of the filming process. The class started just like how our teacher explained it would. We got the paper to check out the equipment. filled it out, and gave it to her. She exchanged us a small handheld camera in a case, a tripod, and sent us on our way. As soon as we left the class, we quickly referred back to our story board to review our ideas. We needed our first setting idea.
      It started at the track. Our plan was to take a shot of someone running with Nike shoes on and get a close up of the shoes. I personally was the runner. I wore a pair of Nike Air Max 270's and continued on a slow jog so our camera girl, Paige, could follow me easily with a pan. Our first shot was complete and it came out nicely. Next we needed a close up of the shoe so Roscoe laid on the ground with camera in hand to get a view of the show as I run by. This also came out to we expected.
       We were running low on time so we had to do our next shot fast. We turned to the main stairs for this scene. The idea was we would be modeling the shoes as we sat on the stair case. Unfortunately we didn't have enough shoes to film this. So we had an idea that I would slide down the railing and jump off next to Paige who was wearing a pair of Vans. To symbolize that Nike's are better than Vans, I pretended to show her away and finished with a close up of my shoes.
        Time was up so we returned back to class. We didn't complete all of our shots but thankfully we have another day. We returned the equipment back to our teacher and she gave us an SD card reader to dump. We put the SD card into the reader and inserted the reader into the computer. We then dumped all of our best shots of today into a folder that we will save till the end. In the end it was a successful and productive day.
