filming

Myself and Cilia mangaged to get out and start filming advert 2 yesterday in our free periods and today at lunch up untill the end of the day. We also filmed some test shots in order to create a sequence of our jungle 'shake, click, fresh, ahh!', I will post this sequence soon. However, once we uploaded yesterdays footage (not the sequence) onto the mac it came to our attention that the footage we had shot wasnt as helpful as we thought. This is because there wasnt enough POV, CU and ECU shots, which fit into the advertising code and conventions.
Our solution to this problem was to re-shoot the advert making sure to include more close-ups and POV's, which is what we did today. I feel the footage is already alot more effective as audiences will see the characters point of view, rather than watching them from a distance.
However, once we got into the macroom to upload the footage, the tapes chose to be difficult and not come out of the camera!! and then once we managed to figure that out and plug the camera into the mac, the footage wouldnt upload! Sooo, we havent yet uploaded the footage as we will need some help from mr michie/ford... but I feel we have moved on further in the production process. Hopefully we'll have more lucky next time :)
