filming blog- continuing

Filming is done and this is the second blog for it. We did not do a second day of filming. The one day that we completed our filming seemed to suffice. During our filming, we had a hope to complete everything in one day.

This is a summary of how our filming day went:

     We had about 7 different scenes that we shot. The first included the opening actors, myself and Victoria. We came out of stage curtains and began dancing. Then Emily, the person who filmed shot us running down the stairs, with hopes to jump cut into another scene. After filming us running down stairs, holding hands, we also ran up the stairs to bring us back to the stage within the video. We Then shifted outside. The view was nice and would compliment the song choice. We decided to use the trees and the scenery to our advantage. Since the song was a love song, we wanted to display a sense of love between the actors. We did a cheesy scene that i have seen in many movies. Victoria and I, hid behind the trees and popped out and smiled at each other. It was supposed to have a romantic vibe to it. The next couple of scenes were thought about on the spot. We saw a nice area, with an open roof and long benches with paintings on them. We did a quick shot of us jumping on top of the bench and then swirling around. To be totally honest, the dancing, with no music was kind of awkward but comical. The last shot was also scenic and romantic. There was a spot in the school where there were nice wooden benches spread out within grass, flowers and trees. The sunlight hit perfectly onto the benches so we decided it would be the perfect way to end the music video. Emily got many angles to guaranteed a great shot. She filmed us holding hands, staring into the sun and then she cut to the sun. We wanted to incorporate different camera angles into the film, to make the editing interesting. 

    The purpose of creating this music video with a romantic feel to it was to match the song. The one twist we did decide to do was shying away from old fashion views. Most romantic songs from the 1900's included a women and a man dancing. Since it is 2019, we decided to use two women to show a romantic love song. This helped us modernize our music video. However, we still want to keep the gist of the old fashion song and music video by making the film black and white.
