Filming Blog: Back on Track



We finally got a day where we all could meet up. It was a hassle, but we cleared up our schedule to get this done. The whole redo of us trying to re-record the scenes has us a bit annoyed. But we all knew that we had to follow through with this plan. Since we are reaching the end of the filming process. We are all enjoying each other company as we don't know when we can meet up after this. We are all so busy and whenever we meet up to record it is always so relaxing to be with them. They have a certain energy where it just comes naturally whenever we record and I enjoy it. But the filming that we are doing is within the house. We started by filming a bird's eye view over a box with a flicking light over it. This process took us a while for one simple reason. We couldn't find a way to get the birds-eye view without getting ourselves in the shot. Our shadows kept getting in the frame and it was noticeable to the point where your eyes kept looking at it without realizing. As a result, we end up finding a ladder and using it to get the shot. With the use of the ladder, the shot came out how we hoped for. The following shots after that were super straightforward and simple to record. There were a couple scenes where we recorded outside with the proper lighting coming through for us. The scenes inside were overall really simple and the easiest to record so far. The establishing shot we had in front of the house was the only shot that was also easy. Overall I feel confident with the shots we got done and I'm pretty excited to get this back on track.

My group for the Music Video

Image
For the music video, I already had people in mind when I first heard the idea of the music videos. So I proposed my idea to both of the people that I had in mind, my classmates. Lucas and Christan. I have known both of these guys around the same time. Roughly around 2 years I have known them and I feel like we have a solid connection with one another since we had classes before this. And we do go on out and talk outside of school. Also, I trust them since we did have previous projects we had together. We all know the role we have to play if we ever assign each other a role. If we do assign each other a role we know if we don't do it then we all know we not going to do that to each other. For our song choice, we are doing the Backstreet Boys - I Want it That Way. The reasoning behind choosing this song is that I brought it up. And thought it would be fun if we three dressed up similarly and lip sync to a boy band song. As a joke but it eventually became our main idea as we started a...

Filming Blog: The Film Location

Image
  The big day came of us finally deciding where we would film. We know how we want our shots but the location is the current issue. Our main place where most of the shots going to take place is going to be at Lucas's place. Lucas's place is the most ideal for our group since it's located near our place and has the most space between all of us in the group. Also within his house, is where we recorded the first time around, and personally, I can imagine the different scenes play out within his house. Most of the storyboard was based on his house. The room layout, and the house too. As most of the spots where I want to record are going to be in the dark we are going to see whether we should set up the lighting and if it fits the atmosphere we are going for. As his house is near the beach we are planning to see if there's a way we can incorporate a restaurant or an alleyway near that area since I feel like the shine from the moon nearing the end of the final task would look...
