Filming Blog #2 Jansport Commercial


 Our second day of filming was a lot more work and more stressful. Since on day one of filming we only got through the first three scenes, today we were supposed to finish the last three scenes. My partner, Sophia, was the camera women, she shot all the scenes and got the perfect angles while I was the main actor. We forgot that everyone in the original first three clips had to be wearing the same clothes both days or else it would not look right, so we had to reshoot everything today because everyone was wearing different clothes. We still needed extra people for our commercial since we are a group of 2, so we asked Ella, Darrow and Lucas to help. Ella and Darrow had a lot of work for their own project they had to finish first, so we had to wait for them. Lucas had nothing to do so we had him do his part first. He acted as the helpless student without a Jansport backpack. There was one scene where he is alone so we completed that one first while we were waiting for Ella and Darrow to help out. After a while Ella and Darrow finished their filming so they were able to help us, shooting the first three shots were easy since we had lots of practice filming them last time. The forth scene was when the main actor realizes they have an extra Jansport for the kid without one. This scene took a few tries since it was hard to make me pulling out an extra bag look right, the first few takes it did not look the best. The fifth scene is when the two hands meet in the middle and the one actor hands the Jansport backpack to the other one that does not have one. This scene was hard to get the angle correct since it was supposed to be close up but we also had to make the logo clear. I helped to adjust the angle a little and with the right timing this scene turned out well. The last scene is when everyone with their Jansport backpacks walk away happily. This scene was the easiest to do because it started off close up of the Jansport logo and shifted to an eye level angle from the back, so we all just walked away from the camera. Thankfully the lunch bell for B lunch student rang right after we finished filming so we went back to class. Once we cooled down a little, Sophia and I looked back through our footage and adjusted the clips to get the right timing needed. With everyone's help we worked together to create the perfect Jansport commercial.

 Scene 1: The actor will start off coming into school beginning at the top of the stairs in front of the auditorium. A Jansport backpack will be laying on a bench right before the stairs. The actor will be running, grab the backpack off the bench and run down the stairs. This will go from an eye level to a low angle, the camera person will move backwards as the actor runs down the stairs. Then the actor will start walking and other friends with Jansport backpacks will gather around and walk with them. Scene 2: Another actor will be sitting on a bench on the senior patio. Papers and books will be on the ground and on the bench, the actor will be trying to zip up their non Jansport backpack. They will be having trouble and it won't work. This will be an eye level shot from the side. Scene 3: As the group of friends with Jansport backpacks are walking they notice the student with the non Jansport that is broken, there books and papers are falling out and they look sad. They all look a...

Done, done, done!

 So that was the end of the filming. All that's left to do now is edit. I began by trimming our clips to the appropriate length. I listened to the individual who had an opinion. The brightness was adjusted. I tweaked the angles. It took me some time to figure out how to utilize iMovie. As a result, I experimented with several editing programs. I ended up preferring iMovie and went back to my first choice. It was difficult for me to choose music. I also didn't want to utilize music that was protected by copyright. I spent two hours attempting to come up with some suspenseful background music. My group was examining our video as I was editing. I had a feeling my group wouldn't be able to finish editing today. My group viewed a number of editing videos. So far, my favorite aspect of this endeavor has been becoming closer with my group. I was a little nervous at first since they were all juniors and I was a sophomore, but they were quite nice to me. I'm pleased I became clo...
