Filming the Music Video

Now that we have completed our storyboard and planning of the music video the next task we need to complete is filming. Unfortunately this weekend my group and I were unable to film. This was because both Jontae and Edgardo had practice and could not film. Additionally, I was at a funeral on Saturday and Sunday and could not film. Tomorrow during class we will talk and decide when we are going to begin filming our commercial. This will most likely take place during this upcoming week while we are on Thanksgiving break. Moreover we will discuss the logistics of the day or days in which we are going to film the music video. This includes the time and place where we will meet and what parts of the video we will film.

Once we decide when and where we are filming we need to get the equipment to film. All of the materials we need in order to film are available for us to check out to film out of school. This includes the camera, a tripod, and an SD card. We needed to do this as all of the filming for the music video needed to be done outside of school. I will most likely be responsible as I am going to focus primarily on filming while my group mates focus on acting. This is similar to what we did during the commercial project and we felt it worked well last time. Therefore, since we remained in the same group we also decided to maintain our same general roles during the film making process.

On the day we begin filming we are going to meet at our first location. This is going to be at the Galleria Mall where a lot of our scenes takes place. After I film my group mates here, doing things such as dancing in front of a car, we will move to our second location. This is going to be at the beach where I will film a few more shots of Jontae, Michael, and Edgardo. If this plan does not work we have a back-up plan. Rather than meeting at the Galleria and filming there we can meet up at Hagen park on Wilton drive. This is easy because it is also very close and easily to get to for all of the members in our group.
