Male Advert Filming

We began by clearing the area. Once had moved everything to get a clear back ground, white doors, we began to create the mise en scene. As you can see from our story boards we didnt want to make it too complicated there for the shots just contained to chairs back to back. The chairs being red and gold creating the image of power which was also somthing we wanted to achive.

Filming...

We took our story board with us and filmed shot by shot as we originally planned. We had a few difficulties try to film poker chips we wanted poker chips in staks to look like the got high and lower with out some one touching them. Firstly we tried to this by leaving the camera running and film for 30 seconds then swap the height of the stacks then do it again. Incase this doesnt work we did it again turning the camera of each time, this appeared to run more smoothly but we will see how easy it edit later on in the week. Another problem we had was the lighting. When we made our first story bord we wanted to use dimmed lighting whit the use of strobe lights. We attempted to do this but the school camera did not allow this as the it appeared to dark, so when we up loaded them onto the makes the fotage would be clear enough to use.

Shots we thought worked well...

We really liked snooker ball shots of the balls breaking and scatering across the table so we took advanteg of this a toook it from different angles so we could repate the shots when it came to editing. Becuase these shots worked so well we filmed the poker chips agian droping them into the shot, because whiel we here we had the idea that we could reverse this when editing.

Sponsorship advert High Level 2 - very effective use of music, fast pace and editing. There is too much focus on the Mac lipstick and pink lipstick - this would be a better advert for Mac makeup! You should see the product in action through the girl at least spraying the perfume.
Girl advert Low Level 3- Great use of lighting and well filmed and edited. Consider a voice over at the end and try to change the titles to something more elegant/sophisticated.
Boy advert Level 3 - very good - snappy editing, appropriate music and again, well filmed. Add a male voice over and title at the end.
