Filming: first day

         This weekend my group and I did not film because we are planning to film next weekend. We also didn’t check out a camera, so that was another issue. We’re planning to film on the 1st of December. We are going to three locations. The first location we’re going to is the beach, specifically we’re going to go to Fort Lauderdale Beach. The second location we’re going to is the mall, whichever mall is closest to the beach. The third location we’re going to is someone’s bedroom because that’s where one of the scenes are. One of the other locations is someone’s car. This as well is another scene which helps us start the commercial. It’s important that we go to all of these locations on time so that we can use as much of the day as we can.
        When we get to these locations. The timing is crucial because the sun goes down earlier now so we only have a limited amount of sunlight we can film in. It’s very important to film and sunlight because since we’re going to be at the beach we need the natural light. The same thing goes for as if we were in the mall or in a car. Filming at night time makes it very hard to view the actors. My group and I could not film this weekend because all of our schedules did not match up. It was a little difficult finding a day we could all film on. The first is a perfect day because it gives us enough time to edit and review our commercial before the due date. The editing process might take us about two to three days because my Group mate Savanna is very good at editing. Same thing goes for Haylie who is very good at filming.
          My group and I really like the song no scrubs. We all collaborated and chose this song because we heard it throughout our childhoods.The hip-hop and the rhythm of the song makes it easy to get into a happy mood which is the type of commercial we wanted to create. So far my group and I are thinking that we should create sort of a dance to the song. We also wanted to bring some guys because since the song says no scrubs, in our commercial we would end up pushing them away. The song also is very easy to learn because the lyrics are very clear to be heard. We all thought that filming no scrubs at the beach and a few different locations would be perfect because we would do jump scenes when we edit. When we use multiple scenes it will help go with the rhythm of the music which will make the Commercial look more professional. but we will be filming for sure December the first. We are all so excited!
