Filming Blog

        After a few long days of crucial planning I started filming for my music video. The process of filming this time around was not as exciting. There where a few bumps in the road, which we overcame. Filming took us a good three days to do and I feel it went successfully even with all the down sides. From my group mates and their variety of opinions to choosing the exact spots we wanted our shots on the beach. Of course all these decisions where very time consuming, so we had to keep it moving. Overall I can say filming wasn’t all that bad. I got to shoot in an area that wasn’t school. This was a very insightful and informative moment for me. Anyways let’s getting into our filming process


       So first we went to the mattress store. We walked around to canvas the area. After a few minutes we found a couple spots we thought would be nice to use. So one of my group mates asked a employee for the manager. When the manager was found, we asked permission to film in the store. All I could think in that moment was the worst. “ What if the manager says no” , “ This is going to be a disaster”. Truthfully my stomach was in knots while waiting on the mangers response. Once we got the okay to film we set up the camera in one of the bed room settings. We used the tripod to get a better angle of our two actresses on the bed with little camera movement. This method was a success, our take in the bedroom setting was a great success.

       After our first take in the bedroom setting we found a kitchen setting to film in. This was going to be the part in the video where the male RnB singer was cooking his love breakfast. This shot took a couple tries. I would suggest a shot to get of the make RnB singers face, and my group mate would say another. Eventually we found a shot we all agreed on. More on, to me when we shot at the beach was the real fun. We shot at fort lauderdale beach, it was so beautiful. We shot our male RnB singer walked down the beach reminiscing about the good times with his love. We tried to get the sun going down in our video, but unfortunately that didn’t work. All in all, our filming process had a great turn out. I can’t wait to edit now.
