Filming 27th and 28th Decemeber

Today i had to add to my filming. There was certain scene's that i had not yet filmed and i had to do this, as well as trying to think of new things to come into my storyboard.

Filming 3rd and 4th Decemeber

Today i have added to my filming just by doing more shots of skittles whilst following my storyboard. During this filming session i had to overcome my first problem. This was the fact that the lighting was different to last time However this could not be fully overcame as it was due to natural lighting and it just so happened to be a darker, more gloomy day so although i turned my bedroom light on where i am filming, however this did not make a vast different.

Filming 26th and 27th Decemeber

In this filming session i looked backed at my storyboard to see what i hadnt filmed yet and what had to be done. I continued with what needed to be filmed, however i decided to experiment with the focus of my camera in order to try and have a variation within my advert . I changed the focus to i focus at front and it gets more and more out of focus as the skittles go further back in the picture frame.

Filming 19th and 20th November

From my first shooting session it has given me a better understanding of how much time i will need to actually get my filming complete and allow for time to re-film incase something goes wrong. For the first 366 shots i filmed the skittles going left to right but slowly forming a big zig zag pattern. Once i had done this and made a tower of skittles i filmed them slowly going down to form an arrow which slowly goes off the page. I did this because it will b visually attractive and therefore the audience will be captivated and remember my brand ultimately leading to them buying my product.

Practice Filming

I have gone away and done some practice footage of my advert. So far i have only filmed a quarter of it  as it is quite hard to film and very time consuming. I also have to be careful of the light and what times of the day i do it because if it is all different tones of light then it wont look very professional, and as a result it could make or break wether it is good or not.

As a result of this practice filming it has allowed me to remeber how important some thing are, such as what background you have, as this could completely change the mood/feel to something and make it look good or not, and other things such as how important it is to have the tripod, making sure that everything stays in the exact same place so that the advert isnt looking like it is all wobbly. It is also important to make sure you have a suitable set up for your advert because as mine is a stop frame with sweets i want it to be a flat surface, somewhere where i know it wont be touched by others, and somewhere i or nobody else can knock it accidently.

Shooting Schedule

These are the dates that i am planning to film..

Product Logo

First draft i have drawn of what my logo will look like.

This is my final logo for my product's brand name. I have kept it simple and kept the colour's the same as the colour's of the sweets.
