Filming Blog

For our filming process, my group was slightly behind because we were all very busy during Thanksgiving break. We also each had a lot of other homework which was due sooner than this music video, so we completed our other homework before beginning to film. To start the filming process, we went to my house because it is the closest to our school. My mom provided the transportation for us from our school to my house. When we were at my house, we changed into our costumes that fit the song and aesthetic of our music video. We went to the beach to film some clips for our video. While at the beach, we also just hung out for a little and enjoyed the beach once we were done filming. After finishing filming at the beach, we went back to my house. My mom provided the transportation for us from the beach back to my house. We continued to film more clips at my house.

While at my house, we brainstormed some more ideas on what to film. We had ideas from our storyboard, but we wanted to film different clips just incase we wanted to do something different from what was on our storyboard. We used my color-changing LED lights while filming because they create a cool effect. We filmed ourselves dancing to the song of our music video. We made sure it was kind of dark in my room to make the LED lights stand out more. While filming, I made sure we used the shots and angles that we identified in our storyboard. We also decided to add different shots and angles other than the ones on our storyboard. We did this because we realized that we didn't like exactly how the shots came out. We also wanted to have extra clips so we could decide which ones we liked better when we do the editing process. After filming in my room, we cleaned up any mess we made while filming.

To film part of our music video, we walked around Las Olas, which has shops and scenery. While we walked around here to film, we had my mom supervising us. She made sure we were safe throughout the entire filming experience on Las Olas. Since we were in public, we made sure to be very considerate whilst filming. We made sure not to be in anyones way or disturb anyone. We also made sure that wherever we filmed was safe and not sketchy or dangerous. My roles in the filming process were to find transportation and ensure we used the correct shots and angles. My mom provided us the transportation from our school, to my house, to Las Olas. During filming, I made sure that we included the proper angles and shots by referring back to our storyboard. We also made last minute decisions to add different shots and angles to make our music video look as best as it can.
