Filming

For our filming we used Adriana’s iPhone 11 pro. It had a higher quality camera than the ones at our disposal and had auto stabilization. For outfits we had Macy (who played our main character) dress in her school soccer uniform. I played the goalie, so I wore red and black athletic shorts and a red long sleeve shirt. We went out onto football/soccer field and filmed there. We started filming with Macy doing a trick with the ball and then dribbling the ball towards the goal and kicking it into the goal. We than filmed the same process at least three or four times for safety takes. After we filmed that we moved on to filming the event from a different angle. This time the shot would have me in it as the goalie. When Macy would kick the ball towards the goal, I would dive for it but ultimately miss so she would score. We followed the same process a couple more times and tried to find which take was the best. We decided which take we wanted to use and moved on to the next shot. The next shot have the camera close to my back but to where you would see Macy kicking the ball into the goal. A funny event that happened while filming this was when Macy kicked the ball towards the goal and ended up with the ball hitting me in the face. As much as it hurt, I can’t deny that it was pretty hilarious. We did a couple more takes, and thankfully I didn’t get hit again, and found which take was the best. After that we filmed a shot of the ball going towards the camera as Macy kicked it towards the goal. This was one of the harder shots to get. Mainly because we couldn’t get the ball to go exactly where we wanted wanted to. We took a lot of takes to see if we could get the shot we wanted. Another on- set goof that took place was when we were filming this, Macy kicked the ball and hit Adriana’s phone out of her hands and we got it on camera. The next scene we filmed was Macy walking towards the camera and a hand from off screen gives her the Gatorade. Macy the recites the line: “after a long game, I need to replenish my energy, and nothing gets the job done better than Gatorade.” She then takes a long sip of the Gatorade and then looks at the camera. After what felt like a long process of filming, my group and I are happy with the final product we have. Each group member put a lot of effort in there role and we hope the editing process goes smoothly. We plan to add multiple effects and such during the editing phase. We are going to add a crowd sound effect, some audio of heavy breathing, better color correction, and sound effects of the ball being kicked. After a lot of planning, our vision is finally being realized and we have a better idea of what the final product will look like. I’m excited to get this video edited and fully realized for presentations.
