End Scene Film

Today, October 7, I went out to the baseball field with my partner again. This time, I was there to redo one scene. I was also there to shoot the end scene of my partner walking away with the bat on his shoulder. In the classroom, before I left to record, I got tape and re-taped a stick that I made for filming. It's a piece of wood with a GoPro mount on the end. I had to redo the tape so the mount wouldn't fall off. Today was a PSD day, so I only had about 30 minutes to record those scenes. I went to the dugout and put the same clothes I wore last production day. My partner had his clothes folded, ready to go, on his bed, but his mom took them and put them in the wash, so he didn't have them. This meant that I had to be the one in the end scene. I figured it wouldn't make sense if I were the one stepping up to the plate in the scene we had to redo, so we are just going to keep that already shot scene in. I got the bat we used and a couple baseballs to hit. My partner thought it would look cool to have a bunch of Easton products in a pile and have me pick up a bat and walk away. I thought it was a good idea and went with it. So I gathered up a bunch of Easton products, such as a helmet, three bats, a catcher's glove, and a ball. I got these items and planned how to put them in a pile to be aesthetically pleasing in the commercial. I gave my partner the camera and did a walk through of the scene before filming. He would tilt the camera up from the ground to the pile of products, I would walk up to grab a bat and ball, then walk to the field. After he filmed once, he said, "Stay right there, I have an amazing idea!" so I went with it. I did the shot again and and this time he went from behind me and walked to my side and had me toss the ball and swing. This took me a couple tries to get the right pace to walk at, so the final commercial can be a little less than 30 seconds, but I got it in time before school ended.

 Hi, my name is Keith and I chose this class because I have had many friends take it and I've heard great things about it. They were raving on how fun it is creating films and learning how to do different tricks in their filming. I also need a couple more Cambridge credits to get my diploma, so I thought I would try this out because of this class's great reviews. I expect to learn how to edit my videos to do all sorts of cool things such as cross cutting, shot/reverse shot, jump cuts, and many more interesting techniques. My goals are to be able to learn these techniques and create some really cool pieces of work. I want to keep these skills with me when I'm older because I think it is useful to know how to film. You never know where like can take you and who knows, I could end up becoming a film director. For this project, I chose to work with my buddy Jake. We've known each other since kindergarten. Ever since we met each other, we have just clicked. We would spend th...
