A soccer showdown

   Today was our second day of filming on October 6th, 2021. Our group was excited to finish our Adidas commercial. Jade Walrave and I changed into our costumes before heading to our filming set. The track, our filming set, was not very busy so we began finding an area with good lighting to film our final scenes. The final scenes we needed to film was the action scene where Jade and I were in a head to head match. We first began by filming a low angle of me and jade running in order to show off the adidas brand cleats. After this we filmed a few of my shoes alone in order to get the perfect shot. Between filming each scene we would go back and review the scene in order to change anything wrong in it. We ended up re-filming the first scene around 5 times before capturing the correct shot. Next we grabbed orange cones to set up the “goal” for our shot. We began practice our blocking for the scene and making sure the angles were correct. It was difficult to originally figure out the filming angle for this scene. The fast movement of the actors playing soccer made it hard to pan the camera fast enough in the shot. After figuring out the blocking to lead to Jade tripping we began shooting. We had originally thought I would be starting with the ball in my possession, however this did not make it possible for Jade to trip and lead into our next scene. We decided that Jade would begin with the ball in her control and I would surpass her.  The first couple of take did not come out correctly. In the first take I was covering the camera with my back and in the second take Jade did not fall correctly so the shot did not look good. Next, we shot a 3rd take of this scene and everything went smoothly. We re-shot this scene 2 more times to ensure we got the best shot. After this we reviewed all of our scenes on set in order to make sure no re-shooting had to be done. After making sure all scenes were executed correctly we grabbed our props, the ball and the cones, and began heading off set.
