Filming Blog: At the soccer field

 Filming Blog

    The day I went to go film wasn't the original date planned since unfortunately something occurred during the week. The original date was supposed to be on wednesday 10/28 but I ended up filming on Sunday 11/1. I got to the soccer field around 6:30 in the morning. The original plan was to film in the afternoon. I changed it to the morning because I was going to be really busy in the afternoon on the day I was going to film. Also, it was going to be less hot in the morning. I was suppose to be the one in the film but, my cousin ended up being in the film. I had surgery on wednesday so, I couldn't do any physical activity which is the main thing throughout the film. The lighting was good but it wasn't sunny enough. Unfortunately, it was cloudy but we made the best of it. The field was also a little wet since it was raining the whole night. When I got to the field I realized that I forgot my cones to put on the field for a clip that I was going to need them in. Since I didn't have time to go all the way back home for them i improvised and used the extra gatorade bottles I had with me and it actually was a good thing. I took some extra clips that were different then was originally planned like for example I took a clip of my cousin getting up from the bench to walk. I decided on making this extra clip to make a more smoother transition. Also, I took it in the event I needed more film to complete the 30 seconds of the commercial. Also, for the section were I was going to do the shooting scene I decided to record my cousin kicking and then do a close up of the ball entering the net. I decided to add the extra part because it made it more interesting and appealing then just recording her shoot. The filming was actually pretty quick it only took us an hour to complete. I retook multiple just clips just in case I didn't like something or so that I can use the parts I like to use in the final project of the commercial film.

Unproductive days

 This week has been an unproductive week. Well only for this class I didn't do anything. I decided not to deal with anything dealing with this class. But, I didn't do anything because I was lazy I needed to work on other things. I catched up on other classes instead throughout the week. The reason for this was because of work all my assignments have piled up. Also, I wasn't worried with not working on this class because everything is prepared. I just have to wait for the day I am going to film. Also, I got sick this week and haven't been feeling well. I did go take a covid exam and it came back negative thankfully. I am just getting the cold but, I still have to film so whether or not I am fine or not I will be filming. Tomorrow friday, I am finally going to film. I have waited a very long time but tomorrow will finally be the date. I didn't follow the schedule I had originally made for the dates of filming and editing. But, not everything goes as planned. Unfortuna...

 So over these last couple of days I have ran into some difficulties. Some of my family members started to get sick. So now we have to wait for their covid results to come back just to make sure it isn't that. This is making me have to postpone the filming if anything as of right now. I won't postpone it for to long because I have to start filming. Coronavirus has taken a huge impact on how we socially gatter now in groups. It is better to be safe than sorry. So, if I have to take out people from my final project I will do so. My clothes hasn't arrive and if it doesn't get here by this weekend I am just going to have to wear something else.
