Over our Thanksgiving break we filmed our music video. From Tuesday after school November 26th to Friday morning November 29th we all had family in town. Due to this we were unable to film any of these days. Michael and I did most of the organizing when we were going to film. On Saturday November 30th Jontae and Edgardo could not film because they had basketball. On Sunday December I was at to the Dolphins game so we could not film that day either. Therefore, Friday was our only chance to film. Fortunately all of our families left earlier on Friday and we were able to film later in the day. We all agreed on a time and met at the Galleria mall. I ran a little late so we didn't film at the exact time we wanted however overall our communication was much better than last week which allowed us to film.
The actual filming process went very well. Similarly to the commercial I conducted a majority of the filming while my group mates were actors. I took multiple shots for each scene to insure we had good footage. The scooter scene took us a while as finding a scooter proved to be our biggest obstacle. Once we finally found scooters we still had to download the app for it which took longer than we had expected. Once we finally had them moving we took a lot of shots of us riding because it was blurry at some points. We also, surprisingly, struggled to find a homeless person willing to be in our video. Eventually we were able to find somebody to give food to.
Tomorrow in class we will begin the editing process. I already have some experience from the commercial which will make for a far simpler process than during the commercial editing. Despite facing computer issues we are confident that we will complete all that we need to do. Throughout the course of planning and filming we learned a valuable lesson which was communication is key. Due to our great communication over break we were able to film the video and. I'm very excited to see how this video turns out. Now that the filming is complete editing is all we have left. Although we came across a couple problems while filming we found our way around them and were able to get our footage. Overall we had a very successful filming process.
