Production Blog: Filming Chelsey's Part

On Wednesday the 12th, I resumed filming with Chelsey. This time David was not able to make it, so I had to film/direct Chelsey. As the director, I made to sure to bring my props for the commercial. Again, I am the owner of the headphones I had to make sure that I brought them. Also, I had to bring the equipment since I was the one who already had a tripod for a phone. This time we used my phone, since it would be more easier to import the clips into my computer. I also brought the storyboard with me again to figure what scenes and angles we needed to film. The first thing that I directed was the transition from me to Chelsey, signifying that this is now Chelsey's part of the commercial. For the next scene I did 2 different shots that had incorporated long shot and a medium shot. The next scene that I filmed was Chelsey walking while I did a pan and a zoom following her. After that, I took 5 different shots of her, that included different angles, camera movements, and camera shots. I filmed a high angle, low angle, a close up, another medium shot, a pan with a medium and medium-long shot. During the time that we filmed the lighting was okay, it could've been better if filmed earlier, but we didn't have that option. This time it wasn't going to rain so the sky was a bit more clear. During my time filming with Chelsey, I made sure to stay away from the area I filmed with David since there is supposed to be change in scenery. Luckily, there was a part of the park not to far away from where I filmed with David. This spot still allowed us to see our bags too. I insisted that we should film more shots like Chelsey pressing the 'b' button on the headphones and the pan with the medium and long medium-long shot. This would allow me to extend the commercial to the right time during the editing process if needed. This part of the commercial about 30 to 40 minuets to film.
