Last week Sunday, my teammates met up with me to finish filming our music video. Lesly, Jazmin, Brit, and Nick all came to my house again, around 1:30 PM. Initially, we had four scenes left to film. However, we ended up breaking the storyboard and switching over to new ideas. We ended up only filming one scene, which was actually our very last scene of the music video. Scene six and scene seven from the storyboard were merged together into one scene. Additionally, scene twelve from the storyboard was changed up. Instead of filming a long shot of Jazmin kicking her socks off then laying on the couch, I filmed an extreme close up shot of her kicking her slides off. It was Brit's original idea to show someone taking their slides off when the lyrics stated, “‘Cause today I swear I’m not doing anything”. This is because a person generally can not go out and do anything if they are not wearing shoes. All in all, these changes to the storyboard was made the day before, Saturday.
Furthermore, scenes thirteen through fifteen were completely changed up. As previously mentioned, we only filmed one scene on Sunday. Basically, we decided to merge the three scenes together, making them one scene and cutting our actions short. Our initial idea was to throw up paper confetti in scene thirteen, lay on the floor in fourteen, and in the last scene, someone would cover the camera with their hand. Instead, we went against the storyboard again. We decided to only throw up the paper confetti, gather in a circle as we cheer happily, then Jazmin walks away from the group and covers the camera with her hand. My mom was behind the camera for the scene and I made sure she filmed us as a medium shot. After this, I looked through all our footage and made sure we didn't need to re-record a scene. Finally, filming the music video was called to an end. I believe that my group members and I were all relieved, so we went out and had some fun!
Overall, filming on Saturday and Sunday was successful. I enjoyed working with everyone and appreciated my mom's assistance. Luckily, we were strategic about filming the music video. One reason being, everyone was involved in at least three scenes which meant that we all played a huge part in the music video. Moreover, we filmed in five different settings around my house. Lastly, everyone had a chance to operate and film with the camera. Therefore, we all actively contributed to the music video as a team. I personally learned a lot regarding film and how music videos are created. As for my teammates, I was able to get to know them better and strengthen our friendship. So, I am very content that I am able to work with my friends.
