Final filming blog

Creating the commercial was an awesome task with some difficulties . It was awesome because it was something I have never done before . This was my first time creating my own film other than using my phone video recorder . I have learned many skills during the process of editing , filming and finishing the commercial . In the beginning my journey filming was quiet hectic . I didn’t understand how filming each shot in 6 seconds was such a hard job . The first day my group mates and i filmed we didn’t have any of the materials . Even-though we had two days to film one of the days had already wasted . Another part of our journey was critiquing the Story board . Our story board was much harder to complete then we thought this made us here disagreements on the new story board . 

However we knew that our idea of pure life water bringing life to Fort Lauderdale High was still in tact . Our next filming day i came up with the idea of sharing a water around school . This filming process took our whole other filming day which gave me minimal time to drop the raw footage to the computer .A main reason it took so long was because i filmed way more shots then needed . This  made me grateful that i had purchased my own SD card . The purchase of my own SD card gave me the ability to drop my footage the next day . After finishing the filming of all raw footage the next day was editing. Editing took a longer time because the first day the computers weren’t working .Not only was they not working but pinnacle studios weren’t downloaded on them . Our timing was already pushed back due to the extra time we took filming because i lacked being prepared. The delay of pinnacle studios pushed back our due date by a few days because our lack of ability to edit . 

The editing process came next as we finished filming and the computer was up and running . The editing process took kind of long because i wasn’t use to using such features to edit . Even -though our teach had taught us how to use pinnacle studios it was still hard to learn all the roads of it . The first shot edited was our establishing shot of our school. This is the basis of the whole commercial being that pure life water gives life to FLHS. The idea was finally coming through as i completed the editing process. The film stared my group mates , class members and a teacher . This was to present the idea of sharing a water around FLHS. Soon enough we completed our idea into the commercial . It included all aspects that we wanted to capture and i even added ambient sound of a school to the background of the commercial.
