Welcome back everyone! We finally finished filming our commercial. Our group worked so well together when filming the commercial and we all contributed towards the direction the commercial took. When we were filming, we kept thinking very hard about the shots and my group and I were very mindful to use different types of shots when we were filming so we can have a variety. When filming some of our shots on this day, there were some problems where some of the specific scenes did not look natural. One example of this was our 3rd scene. In this scene, one of our subjects was fake sleeping and it did not look as real as possible and in order to fix this problem, my group and I did multiple shots of the scenes and chose the best ones. For our second scene, we had arranged the set properly. We had people sit in certain places,  stand in certain places , and look in a specific direction when talking. For all our scenes, we had our subjects have some input as to how we filmed it. We did this so our subjects can look comfortable when filming their scene. While we made sure our subjects gave input, we still made sure it matched the message we wanted to get across in the end. We had changed some of the ideas when filming our scenes. For our fifth scene, we originally planned to have the two subjects at a table but we ended up changing it. We changed it because there so happened to be a horse on our school campus that day. My group mates and I thought that filming in front of the horse would be fun and still relay the message we wanted to get through our commercial. It was also better for us to film in front of the horse due to the other 2 subjects who stood in the back. Those unexpected 2 subjects were police officers in the law field. This was good because the mock trial team is comprised of people who want to also work in the law filmed. Since we have now finished our entire commercial, we will now be moving over to editing soon.
