Ad 1 and a new mac

Having not learnt by my mistakes up until now I haven't captured the best footage. Now that I have my own mac though, I have been able to take it with me when filming. Being able to do this I had no issues with lighting whatsoever other than when the light outside began to darken over time. Ultimately I am currently editing ad 1 at it is going rather well.

Another advantage when having my own mac is that I have no restrictions as to when exactly I can edit my footage and have more time to learn about the software that I have specifically bought.

During the process of  filming I discovered a way of blurring the camera focus to portray the fact that the characters cannot see without their glasses. This effect was rather successful.

Another lesson I did learn that I followed through was that I would film the whole advert in one shot so i didn't have to spend so much time re-adjusting the tripod to finish of a shot I could have done earlier.
