Final Day of Filming Blog

 Today was the second day of filming. Once again, I am filming a commercial for NIKE Shoes. Today was equally as hot, if not hotter than the last filming day. This could be due to my choice of attire. For this filming day, I was wearing a sweatshirt and joggers. Today, I filmed my final scenes for the commercial. The first was the tracking shot of me running from the side. This one was quite a challenge to film. This took many, many tries, almost too many to count. It was very difficult trying to figure out the logistics. Since I did not have professional equipment, my partner had to manually film and run alongside as I ran. This did not work out very well. I later found that I was better at the filming aspect, so I switched roles with Sophia. After this, it took about three shots. I decided that I could pull enough from each clip in the editing process to make it work.  Lastly, I shot the final scene. Since Sophia's shoes were older and dirtier, I used her for this scene. I poured out most of Sophia's water, which was very unwise based on the weather, and made a puddle on the field. She then proceeded to run through the puddle to make a splash, then I tilt the camera up. This also took many tries. I ended up using most of her water for this. Once again, I was able to compromise with the clips I already had and called it a day.
