Week 12

As it was clear from the previous week, we needed to reshoot the video and try to correct as much mistakes as possible.
Thus for the sake of a good image we took lightening devices: two projectors.
The place of the shooting was changed, however not due to reasons connected with the video, rather due to the difficulties met to deliver the equipment to the former place.
Firstly we have discussed every moment of the video in detail. After consideration we have achieved good agreement.
the lights was on, the shooting have started.
in opposition to the previous trial, this time we have devided the video in small parts each with different angle of shooting, camera position etcetera.
thus we had around 10 scenes. most of the scenes was shot ssusseccfully and required 2-4 takes. however some of them was rather difficult: or the chocolate would open in a wrong way, or the fasial expression would be wrong, or something would go wrong and so on.
This time it took up around 2-3 hours to complete the task.
Hopefully we have all the nessesary materials to make a nice advertisement, but we can see it only when we will make in the Pinacle Studio.

we tried to be professionals and every take was marked with a number)

week 11

this week we had already had to have some materials for the add to edit.
thus we took camera and gathered for shooting in Irina's appartment.
Me and a frind of mine was choosen as actors, Irina and Alex was mainly directors and camera people. However during the shooting everybody was contributing and sharing ideas on various issues.

The video was fun. During the shooting we have tried many different ways how to make each of the scenes, and in the end have finally achieved to a satisfactory result.

The hext day, when we came to the class, we had an opportunity to see our mistakes.
Forst of all the lighting was bad.
Secondly the zoom in/zoom out technique defenitely didn't fit the required dinamics of the video: it takes to loong to zoom, wasting the time.
As well personally for me I could catch my own acting mistakes and try to improve the next time (becouse we have desided to make another video)
In addition we make our story board better and more detailed.
And this is the draft of our second storyboard, improved.
