Originally I planned to film over the Christmas break however there was another repeat of bad weather due to the snow and found it difficult to get to the location and to gather the two actors. Fortunately the snow cleared near the end of the holidays and I could finally film what I needed. I also filmed over this weekend to finish what I started. The filming went quite well; one problem that I faced was directing the actors. They had trouble hearing me and understanding exactly what to. However over time I gradually got the hang of directing and things ran a lot smoothly. I learnt that I needed to project my voice much louder and clearer for the actors to understand, I needed to give more step-by-step instructions rather than just on the spot instructions as this created a lot of confusion before hand. Another problem which I faced was getting the actors to start acting then stopping, again this was my own fault as I needed to be a lot more clear and organised.
I am very pleased that I have finished filming and editting my first advert, how ever this is my first draft as I may need to develop it further. Over the next following weekend I will start shooting my the second advert.
