In class on Thursday, we began filming for our commericial. We decided that we would base it on Gatorade. My partner would be the actor in the actual video, while I filmed. I carried the equipment to our schools field, and made sure that everything ran smoothly. Our camera died midway, during filming, so we’re forced to have to film on Monday of next week. Based on the storyboard I was required to do certain maneuvers for the camera, to get the specific shots that we needed. While my partner was running I stood rather far away , to get a track shot of him running, forcing me to pan the camera Upon the tripod.
Other scenes like where my partner kneeled down, required me to zoom in , while maintains a smooth tilt motion; however it was very difficult to pull off without making the footage seem stiff or choppy, as the hinges on the tripod(WHICH WAS BROKEN) moved on their own. After the tilt in each take of this kneeling scene, I had to revert the camera to how standard position upon the tripod. Again, a very difficult things to do surprisingly. I guess it is because I’m not very good at handling cameras.
Moreover, it was a pretty successful shoot on Thursday, as we only need one more shot. I could honestly say I had fun, apart from it being hot as the devil’s toe, and the oh so annoying flies. My partner had recently had an injuring in he leg, though this may be a serious matter, it didn’t take away from how funny looking he was as he ran in certain takes. When I think about it, it probably should have been me running instead of him.
