filming blog

This past weekend, my group and I did not film anything for the music video. We could not film because my group and I all had prior plans we could not change. However, we are planning on filming soon. Although this weekend is not ideal to film we have no other option since one of our group mates will be out of town for the Thanksgiving break. So, to make up for her absence my other group mate and I had to secure other actors. We asked 3 other people to help us film and act in our video, so it comes out good. We are hoping this will take no longer than one day of filming. Additionally, to start the filming process we checked out a camera from school, since we would be unable to over break.
However, It is difficult right now to figure out filming because we all live far from each other. We each live about 30 minutes away from each other. This would not be as much of a problem if we could film at school. Although, for some reason we are not allowed to. Additionally, our video requires a lot of props and equipment, and a type of transportation. This is because we will be going to multiple locations, and doing different things. This also affects the filming process because we need to find a day where we all have multiple hours free, and someone to drive us places. Moreover, we are all helping by preparing to film. One of our group mates is helping by collecting props. While another is helping organize the people who will be helping up during the video. So, while we might be delaying the actual filming of our video, by preparing we will be able to film in a shorter amount of time.
Moreover, when we film we have decided to not use the camera provided by our teachers. Instead, we will be filming on our phones. This is because we have heard from some classmates that the cameras are difficult. Also, recently I helped some other students film their video with their phone and it was very simple. Since we most likely will not have so much time, this seems like a good solution. Also, we have been adjusting and discussing our video. We have made some changes, and new descions about what we will be doing. For example, we decided it will be best for us to film in the evening so we can film some shots at night. Then, to do this, we have talked to our teachers about how we will film at night. They explained how we could film at night, and be able to see in the dark lighting on camera. Overall, while we have not filmed yet, we are very prepared to start filming. Hopefully, we will pick a date soon, and complete filming.
