Week 4 Filming

Today was the big filming day where we had to capture all of our footage. I had to bring in all of our props, including the suit and the horse mask. Our first attempt at filming wasn't so great: we tried finding an isolated area. Until we found that the cafeteria was almost empty . We tried to film our opening shots in front of a big blue wall. After coming back to the class room, we realised it was a poor choice of scenery,it just isn't something you'd see in a advert.
This is an example of where we went wrong.

After brake we attempted filming in the outside, we went down to a small park called "Narnia", it was just down the road from our campus. This was one of our 3 locations which we decided on last week.
There wasn't any disturbance, as we were only interested on a small part of the park. We tried taking a whole different spin on our idea we decided on using mother nature, which would be appealing for a horse. We filmed in front of a massive tree with grass all around. We tried to follow our storyboard as much as possible here, as it was the opening after all. After that we made our way to the second location: in front of the lace market car park. This was were we started getting very creative as a group. Someone, i can't remember who though; made a suggestion that i should do the moon walk while facing the camera. We composed several creative as well as hilarious shots, we all planned on making the advert go in the comedic direction rather than the serious formal style.

For the ending shot i suggested we should reproduce the dramatic chipmunk, with a horse instead, with the sound effects and everything. We thought this would be really good as our product was the most unique out of the class in my opinion and this would've made it even more unique.

Overall as a group we thought that these shots turned out pretty well, since most of the shots were only improvisations.

This is one of attempts at trying to recreate the dramatic chipmunk.We tried to use darker lighting for a greater effect in the end.
