 Overall, the commercial came out much better than expected. After both previous production blogs regarding editing and filming, some small tweaks and fixes were made. More scenes were dropped, and other scenes were added. I removed a slow-motion scene originally included in the nightmare scene. We all agreed that it was best if that scene was dropped. Also, it would make space for a better scene to be added to the commercial. Also, the closing scene was dropped. A new closing scene was added which improved the quality of the commercial, making it the perfect ending. After all the removal and additions of scenes, the commercial still ended up at 29 seconds. Thus, meeting the time requirement necessary. Regarding editing, there were also some fixes made. I found a better black-and-white filter for the nightmare scene which I used. This assisted in making the nightmare scene look better overall. As well, the commercial filming itself was flipped horizontally to look better. Some scen...

 Once all the shots were filmed, it just came down to the editing. I merged all our best clips and put them all into one video. I had the editing app, therefore I was the one editing the clips, while my group mates gave me suggestions on what to do, improve, and cut. All the editing was done on my personal phone. When the clips were merged together, the length of the video was a whopping 1 minute and 16 seconds. The target time was a max of 30 seconds and a minimum of 27 seconds. To fulfill this requirement, I removed multiple clips that were unnecessary. As well as speeding up some clips without making them look weird. The editing of the commercial once finalized took about an hour. In total, I merged about 12 clips that we used throughout the filming. The first 3 clips did not need to be cut down since they were already short enough to keep in the commercial. However, they were sped up a bit to cut down time. The next few clips did need some shortening. For the second scene on th...

On Sunday, September 23, it was the first day I started filming with my group. All group members were present for the filming, and the weather was good. Due to this, we started filming without any issues. I had the most camera time since I was the main player in the commercial. We started off the filming at holiday park for the soccer scene. I started with being filmed drinking a Gatorade on the bench before the game. After this, I was filmed on the field dribbling past defenders. Finally, I was filmed being fouled by one of the opposition's players and winning a penalty kick for myself because of the foul. While filming this scene, fortunately, the park was mostly empty, and we had the field to ourselves to film. There was no interruptions during filming because of this. As well, it helped speed up the process of filming. After this scene, I acted out what would come out to be the nightmare I had at the start of the commercial. I was filmed missing a chance in a game which would h...
