As I will be filming again tomorrow I've made a list of things I will have to do to make this ad perfect;
Find a suitable piece of music
Shoot each shot from a different angle
Ask actors to dress smartly (with ties, posh skirts, and heels! (generally looking more sopisticated.)
Open Passort at picture page
Use more lighting!

Over View
I believe I have basically met the dead line as the running ad (ad 2) needs a few more shots to make the story more stereotypical and easier to understand. (Post 13th July!); Don't presume your audience knows what message you are trying to put across!
I've made draft of the other two ads which means i've met that deadline!
My plan now is to make a new shooting schedule as i haven't got one that is up to date.
My plans for January are to obviusly complete my other ads; For ad 3 I have decided to use a green screen for when they are in the lift, my reasons for this are to make it look more realistic ad to obviously make it clear to the audience where exactly the characters are.
For ad 1 I shall re shoot use the same props I used last time (Phone, knife, two pairs of glasses, Bag and book, a phone and passport) As there are often used for identification in any crime /mystery genre. I may have to use more lighting for the darker shoots that needed to be brighter. I have also been told to give it a little more pace and a sence of urgency so it is unquestionably linked to the mystery genre.
Other tasks will be to find someone to do a voice over for each advert, find a suitable piece of music for each and complete the logo.

Ad 2 needing just a few adjustments
My second advert went really well. I chose a new locating on the spot so as to not drift the actors away from the warm very far but other than that I did keep to the story board other than forgetting a few crucial shots.
The camera work was complimented but the story being told apparently didn't make much sense. I was advised to include a shot of each person looking at their watch; a shot which i knew i had forgot to include once i watched it; that'll teach me for not getting my story board out while filming, although it was windy!
The actors were naturally complaining of the cold so i'll make sure i give them far more warning next time then I won't feel rushed then either!
I'm going to have to also use more shots at different angles of the couple together, with the glasses on and re-do a shot that has a little to much lighting.
Another point suggested to me was that i choose the music before i start shooting again so i have an idea of the pace: I chose OK GO!

2nd reshoot of ad 1
I did a re shoot for ad one but the battery ran out! And the charger insert was broken. Wasn't happy!
Although I had much better lighting, more space and an actor that didn't laugh when being filmed like i had in my first attempt!
