Filming Our shampoo advert (Marissa's lesson)

Today, after a lot of preparation and planning , we finally got to video/film our advertisements.Our group was advertising our shampoo product (Good for you Shampoo).Using our previously made storyboard , we were given 45 minute periods to film , coming back to the room to upload footage and then go back out again.

We were told to take 3 shots of each scene , so that we had back up material (in case the first take had gone wrong) and we had to ensure that we included a variety of shots whilst filming the different scenes.

My group managed to film everything that we needed to film within the first 45 minutes , which gave us the chance to get a head start with uploading all of our footage on to the editing software (Adobe premiere cs6).once we had imported the footage on to the software , our external hard drives and onto the Computers hard drive (C) we got a chance to start with some basic editing.We had to backup our footage on to the computer drive (C) and onto our external hard drives , so that we could reduce the chance of losing important files.

Once our footage was imported onto the software, we had the job of looking at all of the clips , selecting the best one out of each take and then set where the chosen clip would start and end when played.This enabled us to shorten the clips (to fit the 15-30 second limit) and also to reduce errors and mistakes.This also made the clips combined look more professional and overall smarter.

Next week , we will be able to start adding effects and sound to our video .
