filming

When filming on Monday night I encounterd a few problems. Firstly there wasn't any natural light in my bathroom as there are no windows. To try and solve this I turned on mirror lights and the lights in the hallway to make it brighter. I have quite a small bathroom so it was difficult to achive the correct positioning of the shot that i wanted to film.

On tuesday me Laura and i looked through the footage and decided that a few extra shots were needed. We decided that shots over the shoulder would be needed and a shot from inside the cuboard of Hannah searching for shampoo. Finally, we thought that the shots in general were too distant and more close ups were needed. So wednesday night, after discussing what shots were needed I filmed Hannah again.

I placed the camera inside the cuboard to get a shot of Hannah looking into the cuboard. This worked really well when looking at the new footage this morning. The cuboard in my bathroom is made of mirror glass so when filming over the sholder the camera captured Hannah's reflection which gave an effective close up of her face which we didn't think to include. Through trial and error and experiment on my behalf when filming, the footage obtained came out really well for us to then use in flash animation. Next week I will start on ad two, the following week ad three. I aim to have all the filming done by the end of the moth so that we have as much time as possible to spend editing our adverts to perfection as using animation is new to me and will take some time to learn how to use it properly and effectively.
