Filming 1

On my first filming attempt I thought it would be a good idea to go out and try to film the shots like they where in my story board, however rather quickly in my filming i soon realised that i was not going to be able to do it like i have drawn on my storyboard. There where many things that i had not taken into consideration, one of which was the 180 degree rule as I wanted to film the car moving but from a multiple of angle, in the storyboard i had broken the 180 degree rule and was forced to re think my options when i filmed it.

On my first outing i wanted to get the first section completed this was to film the car being used on the commute to work. When filming I felt that it would be worth while to film everything as I had planned in the storyboard then if i needed to cut things down or change something i could do it when it was being edited. So I began filming the opening scenes to the advert this was going well as I was able to get the footage required. Something that I was happy with when i was filming was being able to get better or a variety of shots when on location that where different to the storyboard.
For example, I had planned to use a medium long shot of the car pulling up at work, however i had already used many similar shots meaning that there was very little variety, I was able to use close ups of the car pulling for different angles, Like the wheels or logos. This then added a variety of shots but also connoted the car's Wow factors.

Therefore I found that my first filming session was a really good for me to practise and try out different things. As i was able to see where I needed to change things with a wider variety of shots, or looking at the shots and thinking will i actually need to use this or will it just be wasting time. But something that I did not expect to need practise with as the camera and begin able to use that comfortably, i found that many of my initial shots where very jumpy and angled. I uses the first filming session to get to know the camera and be able to use it appropriately then went back on my second filming session to try and getting better shots than i had in the first.
