Filming the commercial

To start off with the process of filming i decided to play the runner of our Nike commercial. To fit the role i came to school in my Nike track suit and some Nike running shoes. To add more efrect to the commercial i also brought a Nike duffle bag to he in the film. Once arriveing in class i was chosen to get the equipment. Since me and my partner's already had a camera of our own there was need need to sign one out. But however we did need a tripod so i signed one out. After signing it out i turned in our signed agreement forms. After i opened the box which the tripod came in and made sure it was compatible with our camera. We were in luck because the camera fitted well and worked perfectly with the tripod. After this we took our equipment and went outside to start filming.
Since this was Nike commercial i suggested that i should do a short running scene. In the scene my shoes which were Nike was the main focus of the camera. Along with the shoes my Nike duffle bag was a perect prop for the scene. Once arriving on the school's track we started getting set up for our filming. Since i was the actor i didn't need to do any camera work. It can be said that i looked very good if i do say so myself. Once the camera and the tripod were set up and ready we began filming. At first we wanted to find the best angle to shoot from, so I had to stand in different directions on the track to see which looked better. When we had the best looking direction we tetsed out the camera and did some practice shots and videos. This part was fun because I felt as if i were a foot model.
After the testing we did the real thing about 12 times straight. The videos looked very good when i reviewed them. After reviewing the videos my partner suggested that we film from another angle. So after breaking down the tripod and moving shop a little further down the track we started to film again. In this angle we filmed about seven times. After reviewing these videos i took a short five minute break cause boy i was tired of running. These vidoes were better than those before my partner suggested. Me and my partner took another five minutes to look over and compare the two different angled video's to see which were better. Once we agreed that there were some good ones in both sets we packed up and headed back to class. Once arriving back in class we reviewed the vidoes once again and called it a day since we had own camera and labtop all was lefr was to return the tripod.
