My group's filming of our commercial was very successful. We began by meeting at my house. This decision was made because my backyard fits the requirements of the commercial as it is decently large and has a pool. My backyard also has good lighting that is necessary for the commercial. We began by getting all of our props organized and set up. The pool float was placed in the pool and the cooler was filled to the brim with ice. Then, we placed Arizona Iced Tea cans in the cooler of ice allowing them to cool down. This also helped later to form an aesthetic shot. The actors also put on their bathing suits and other costumes to prepare for the commercial. These were most of what we did to prepare. Then, we began filming. Jhon, one of the actors, lied flat on the pool float looking up towards the sky. We captured a Bird's Eye View Angle for this shot. Our introductory shot exhibited very hot weather through a Close Up of a radio playing with the pool in the background(14). We then used a Medium Long Shot to show the mother picking up an Arizona can from the cooler, which switched to another bird's eye view angle of the cooler. Then we used a Two-Shot to exhibit the mother tossing the Arizona can to Jhon. We get a Close Up of the can being cracked open satisfyingly. Then, Jhon took a sip, and said "Wow". We then change to a low angle looking to the clouds. Later, words will be edited into this shot and non- diegetic sound will be played to finish the commercial.
