Production Log Week 5

Throughout this week we also got bad news regarding our cast members two people dropped out as they simply did not have time but to counter balance that I found two new people who were willing to help out . These people where Thamid and Arjan. I explained to them they both of them had to smash a chocolate orange together and eat it but before we started filming Thamid came up with an idea of smashing the chocolate orange open with a hammer which we did not think of which was an excellent idea. I proceeded with that idea as it was quite unique and we did not think of that.

We filmed Thamids part and that left Arjan to film. We were talking about ideas when he came up with another idea which included playing pool. He mentioned that instead of one of the balls on the table we could replace it with the chocolate orange and he can hit it with the white ball and them crack it open and eat it. Again this was an excellent idea as he had a pool table and it was not far for travelling. We filmed that and that meant we got two people done in a day.

Also during the week I asked Jaskaran when he could film he said on a Thursday after school but not to Olympic Stadium as he had a Maths exam the next day so he could not waste too much time outdoors as he had to do revision. But we managed to film his fly-kick in his garden and that was Jaskaran's part competed. All we have to do for the rest of the week is finish off Jordan's Cricket Scene and Prabhjyot's cousins scene and we have all the footage we need for the advert and we can start editing.

Again this week also we did not face any logistical challenges this week except the fact that we could not film in another area because of the time constraint our cast members had throughout the week. Most of this filming period we did not face any challenges because our exams were finished but our cast members had just started which muddled our schedule up a bit and resulted in two people leaving the advert due to no time.

I faced one technical challenge which was minor but during the recording of Jaskaran's flykick my phone's memory went full and it did not record the second half of the clip. This meant when Jaskaran fly kicked the chocolate it broke into pieces but I did bot capture the footage. I had to go out an buy another chocolate orange, clear some of my phone memory at home and come back to Jaskaran to re-film the shot. Other than that we did not face any other technical problems.

Next week or before the end of this wek we will have everything filmed and will have started our editing for the advert. This means we have a tough week ahead in order to complete everything. Our aim personally is to have the advert finished and finalised by next week for sir to take a look at and tell us any improvements.
