Commercial Filming Process Part 2

The first official day of filming was no where as easy as it was supposed to go. Not all of the props were brought for the film so it had to be worked around which proved to be very difficult. It took a while for things to get set up properly. The tripod that was given to the group wasn’t functioning correctly so it took a large amount of time to set up, taking away the time for the actual film. The actual filming part was very stressful since it was necessary to record around certain scenes. There were many mistakes made during the acting part since the script was mainly improvised and new things continued to be added in. Getting the actor comfortable in front of the camera so that the commercial looks more natural also proved to be a challenge. Since many mistakes were made throughout the recording process, it had to be redone multiple times.  By the end, time had run out and there was still more to do so the day felt very unproductive. It was more of a test run as to what needed to be fixed for the next day of filming so that it would go more smoothly.
