Filming skateboarding

   Hello there again! Today was the first day my group and I filmed for our commercial. Last time I blogged, I talked about how and what we were going to plan on filming. So today for filming we decided to work on the skateboarding scene because it was the most difficult. We modified it in a way that would be more safe for our actor. We got a little too ahead of ourselves when writing in the scene where someone would fly over the stairs on a skateboard. So we modified it in a way that is safe and still a great scene. We went to the stairs outside of the auditorium, while Darrow (our actor) was the one skating. Dellana (our filmer) was the one filming the scene. She recorded him from his legs down doing some cool tricks with the skateboard. This would be one of the scenes where he gets his boost of energy from the Red Bull, and can do all this crazy cool stuff. We got a lot of useful great clips. We used the slow-motion effect on our phone we recorded with to make it look more dramatic and have a professional feel. Me, the editor will edit the clip to make it look professional as well. There was also a lot of fail clips, of course. Darrow may have fell a couple of times in the making. For the most part he was pretty good at skating. We made sure to include the Red Bull on the floor in some clips as well just to get that advertised as well as we can. We still have a lot more to film but we are excited to film next class on our school track. We will definitely need a new can of Red Bull as well. Anyway, I will keep you updated with the process!
