Playing a part

Image
So our filming session is finally done. I have never been so relieved of doing something in my life. As I stated before, both my groupmates agreed to the terms I have talked about. But they are planning to record more content on Thursday. They are trying to get more shots that relate to the research we did. The shot we are trying to recreate is the low-angle shot of the shoes while they're dancing. This shot was shown in only one of the videos we watched. But this shot was a shot that I really really liked. Something about it just piqued my interest. The rawness of the shot and how it was shown was something that stuck with me. Besides that, even if I wasn't there for the shoot. I made it up by giving them a list of the shots and how I wanted them to be recorded. From the results I got I'm overall happy with the outcome of these shots. The only downside to the recordings we have is the quality. The quality was shot on our phones and since it was shot on our phones. The shot

Playing the waiting game

Just today I had the chance to talk to my groupmates about the music video. We made a compromise with one another. But I think it's for the best that we did this even if we won't all be in the music video. We made it so that only Lucas and Chris would be featured in the music video and I won't be in it. This is because I'm the only one that has a major scheduling problem and holding back the group. So I offered that I won't be in the music video. But will do the majority of the work for the editing. Mostly because I have the proper resources to do so. I have the most experience in the group and I feel comfortable doing it. I'm pretty much depending on my teammates to get the necessary shots, angles, and movement in the recordings. Since I'm not going to be there this, I have to fully trust them with this task. If they don't do the filming between the both of them, then we are going to be behind on a lot of tasks. I don't want for me and my teammates

A setback in the music video

I missed one of the classes we had together. We planned on finalizing the filming last weekend but it was canceled. This is because one of my groupmates, Chris, was injured during a soccer game. This has prevented us not properly filming the cause of the boot he has due to the injury. My other groupmate was busy with his work life. Working around the time in the afternoon has been a struggle for me and my groupmates. In it being with Lucas working in the afternoons. Chris has a recent injury due to a soccer game. Then me being busy during the weekends with stuff related to my local church. This is due to me helping out in the mornings at the church. That makes me out for the weekends in the mornings. As of right now. We have everything set up to get the filming done. But as of right now, the only thing that we currently have to do is to finalize the day we get the group together. To get the filming done I currently have a plan I want them to know. I wanna see if they like this plan as

After a big meeting that me and my group mates had within our group. We made up our day of when we were going to start recording. We all made time by cutting something we would do on Saturday to meet up to start the filming for this music video. I'm leaving early at the school where I am a teacher assistant at to go to the area where we are going to record. During the meeting that we had we finalized the areas that we were going to record. We made up our minds and we are to record at the beach with a pier nearby and at a local park that we know that many people don't go to. This is so we don't disturb anyone while we are filming and don't cause a disturbance to anyone. As we don't have any real filming equipment at this moment to properly record, we are going to use our phones at this moment to record. We going to record with the built-in program on our phones called camera. If we don't like how the recordings come out then we might rent out a proper camera that

When we first formed our crew of three for the music video I knew it would be hard to schedule. We all have things outside of school like sports or work that we focus on to enjoy ourselves. It's the same inside school since we have schoolwork outside of school that needs to be done alongside other projects. We haven't made a clear decision on what day we will start the filming but we did say we would start this week. Hopefully, we can start the filming process sometime before the week. To at least have some content to start the editing process. I personally think the editing process of the music video is going to take the most time and effort. The editing process for the music video is going to reminisce of the early 2000s. Our group is doing a boy band we took inspiration from the most popular boy bands at the time and we took notes on most things in the music video. Most of the editing style that is shown throughout the music videos is that of basic editing styles that are us
