Our class stood around a long table covered in sheets of
paper. We were reviewing storyboards. These were the several storyboards we
created based on the same script, a commercial for Student Services. Some of
the shots my classmates sketched out were similar, but some were very
different. In the end, we combined shots from several of the storyboards to
make one storyboard we agreed upon. This would be the storyboard we would use
to shoot our commercial.
Before heading out for filming, we discussed reasons for
using and following a storyboard, release forms for actors and locations, and
other things that are important to know before filming anything.
In a group, we filmed outside and indoor shots based on the
storyboard. The most difficult part of shooting that day was the lighting. You
don’t have a lot of control over lighting conditions outside. It’s important to
know how to change the settings on the camera to get the best possible shot.
Even so, you sometimes have to wait for the sun to be at a certain point in the
sky. I now understand why camera crews, actors, and directors have long
shooting days.
Now that the shooting is complete, my group and I will piece
the shots together and add a voiceover and a logo at the end. It’ll be my first
time using Adobe Premiere Pro. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished
project on the projector screen in class soon!
