Filming Blogs

      For our filming today we went to the vending machines to find out that it is out of service during school time. We went to the other vending machine by the auditorium to find it working but there were no sprite bottles, unlike the other ones that were out of service underneath the media center during school hours. We found a security guard that was going to close down that vending machine. We asked if they could open the other one for us to get the sprite but they refused. We also asked in the cafeteria but there were no Sprite sodas. We decided to buy another soda and film as backup but film again another day with the sprite bottle. I had an idea of either staying after school or before school but because Naturelle rides the bus we had to find an alternative, I suggested that I buy the sprite after school. 

With the other soda, we filmed our scenes. First, we started with me grabbing the bottle and taking a sip while stepping forward with the lines of "for a refreshing day". After, I filmed Naturelle sitting taking a sip while stepping up to the camera saying "it is important to drink an enjoyable soda". Next, we set the camera on the table, ran in front, walked, cheered with each other take a sip then say "Sprite is what we choose". We took a photo and walked back to class to hand the teacher, Ms. Marchionne back the pass.

Overall the filming experience we had was quite fun even though there were troubles and things kept going wrong. We preserved and film while laughing and enjoying it. I cheered on some classmates that I saw also making their own commercial. I had fun with the filming and with how we would explain each thing we were doing in detail so we could understand each other. We found alternatives and found solutions. We will be filming again with the Sprite bottle to complete the whole commercial perfectly.
