Today was the first day of filming the ad. It was only meant to be a one day shoot, however due to technical difficulties (dirty tape slot) the camera would not work and the footage is now damaged.
The green screen was difficult to get right because it was a curtain, as opposed to a painted wall or board, and the creases and wrinkles in the fabric caused a distinct change in color where shadows were present. This was fixed after pulling the curtain as tight as possible and weighing it down with heavy objects.
Although, on the bright side, the takes became increasingly better and the script is now well-rehearsed. This is significant, seeing as the initial takes lasted up to 40 seconds. Now the time it takes for the actors to recite their lines is down to about 20 seconds. This needs to be a few seconds shorter in order to have enough time for the message at the end of the ad, but it is progress.
