19/11 - 20/11 Filming session:

This was my first real filming session of the advert, and from my practice session last week I felt I was ready to start filming.  When working from my storyboard I noted that I wanted the entire actor within the frame. This was a challenge as my conceptual ideas were very difficult to reproduce on the camera. Therefore to make it work I turned the camera 90 degrees so I would attain the entire actor within the frame. This is something I haven’t done before however I felt it was the right device to use as this it prevented the problem.   The filming went well as I was working from my shot list and the storyboard so I could refer to that for the varying shots and concepts that were happing in them as assistance. 

However once I had filmed, and was within the editing stages of my development, a problem had arisen. From turning the camera 90 degrees to attain the actor’s whole body within the frame, I had lost the depth and the quality in the shots when turned back in premier pro. This is something I had not thought about then filming it and it became a real problem, once as such that meant I had to film the advert again.

From this filming and editing session I note I cannot fit the whole body of the actor within the frames in my festival adverts, instead I will be re-filming and having a frame from waist up only. This is something I will have to work with when filming and I will evaluate the process.

This is the footage (first shots) when it isn't turned around, this is the footage I will not be using due to the framing and shot angle:
