BBA Sleep Specs:
Those are glasses with eyes on them so you can sleep in class and the teacher will not notice it.

Our group sat together and we brainstormed. The final idea is a bit of everyone's idea so no one had already further plans. We came up with a storyboard and decided about which camera lenses we
are going to use. Because we had enough time left, we tried filming some of the shots just to get the look of it.

We knew we wouldn't be able to film today so we finished the glasses. Therefore Katie printed two eyes, Sam cut them in the perfect size and I sticked them on the glasses.

Today we met before school to film in Hunter's room. We set the camera and light up and then coordinated the extras. For extras we asked random students who where already in the room. The
shootings went pretty well. A day before we decided to use two lenses. Fortunately we were done before 8am. During class Katie started editing. There we noticed that 3 scenes need to be reshoot
because we failed with the light. At the end of class we had the first rough cut.

This day we just edited and color corrected where we tried to correct the light, but it didn't work.

Really spontaneous we filmed our transition scene in front of the green screen. Katie lay on the floor to spin the chair smoothly. This worked pretty well. The light looks good and after some
tutorials on youtube I knew how to replace the background in Final Cut.
At the same time Sam created the selling screen in Photoshop. First time when I saw it, it looked very childish and nonprofessional. I told him some little things he should change.

I finished everything I was responsible for. Sam changed the selling-screen and did the Voice-over. Katie probably finished editing.
- Make sure the light is not reflected on the board.
- When you change lenses, check if the ISO isn't too high or too low.
- 50mm lens need lower ISO
- Kit lens needs higher ISO
- green screen: play with the settings until it looks perfect.
- dramatic look: shadow on one half of the face.
- No music and total silence can create tension too
- Be spontaneous
- Check tripod before you leave
- Don't put to much information on the selling screen (product name, prize, website and promoting sentence
