Filming Blog

      Hello, Kayla here. This post will be regarding what I did today while filming the commercial. I am the actor for my team. The 1st scene that was shot in the commercial was of me walking towards the desk from the blue tile and take out the original pen from my back pants pocket. That will actually be the second scene in the commercial. The next shot filmed of me was more focused on the packet that was a prop that I was "writing" in. This shot was more focused on the original pen not actually writing/ working as I began my "work". I began to shake the pen as if to get it to work. The next shot which is actually two different shots that will become a split-screen to the previous shot I mentioned will gauge my reaction to the pen not working properly and my body language and actions are really going to show my confusion. The next shot gauges my frustration with the pen. This is when the commercial brings in the joy ink pen. I am then offered a red ink joy pen by a prop(step-in actor). I proceed to take the pen and nod my head in gratitude. The shot after this was where I proceeded to flip the pen to where the logo that states paper mate ink joy gel 0.7 is visible on the pen before string at it to register the brand. I then proceed to start writing with the pen nodding my head in registration and satisfaction that the pen not only works but writes so well and smoothly. This is the last shot where you can see this basically being the previous shot before this just from a different angle. This angle was me actually facing the camera and It being in front of me. I stared off into space but more so just looked up in thought. Here you can see me nod my head and I'm just registering what I have previously stated that the pen not only works but writes so well and smoothly.
