Commercial filming process

So, my lovely group members came to my flat at noon for a day of video shooting!

Armed with cups of costa coffee which helpfully injected caffeine into our bloodstream (to last us through the day), they all gathered in the lounge.
I changed into my outfit for Mrs Claus and Quincy (my supposed husband in this commercial) had to bulk up his tummy with cushions.

Scene 1 Take 1

ACTION!

It took us about 8 shots to be finally satisfied with the scene. And of course, a thorough practice of the script between me and Quincy and a few tweaks to our lines in order to shorter it to a max of 10 sec (due to the advert being only 30sec).

Next, the shot of children receiving their Christmas gifts!
Karolina, Pam and Anwui came into my room and we used the window sill with the lovely curtains as a backdrop.

Sneak preview of one of the NG shots:

Scene 3 Take 10;
ACTION!


This scene took us a total of 13 shots! But we managed to perfect it alas :)


-----------------------------------------------------

After 3 hours,

IT'S A WRAP!

We're all satisfied and excited to piece the shots together.

Coupled with effects and background music (the most appropriate Christmas songs, we're such geniuses!), we can't wait to create the perfect BA advert for everyone to view!
