The production on filming!

 When coming to filming the music video, the vibes wanted were unknown. The music video for heartbreak anniversary was centered around a couple. It highlighted the good and bad times essentially why they needed to break up. Shows how Giveon was truly heartbroken which is what I wanted to incorporate. When filming, it was better decided to do in one area. It would be more convenient since everyone in the group didn't have a car to drive different places. 


There were different aspects to the video that was wanted to capture. The first aspect was a couple that looked semi real. Maria and Felipe were the couple used. They are friends so they had friend chemistry which was great. With the first scene, I recorded it sideways which would be perfect for a music video aspect. The shots were wanted to do in one scene or maybe a second one so a lot of space or time wasn't taken up. When filming, if filming a scene in the car, one of us filmed outside and whoever was in the car was filming in there also. It was to give two different perspectives especially with the editing. When filming, it was a factor to go early in the day so that others wouldn't be disrupted. A couple was wanted in one of the scenes but after filming a couple of scenes, I decided to take the couple out. A random couple may not have enjoyed and then also once filming it was realized that the scenes I planned were longer. When it came to recording, the music was played in the background so it was easier to know where in the video the filming was taking place. 


When filming most of the videos, it was filmed on my phone since it was easier. I have the newest phone and the clearer the video the best. In my next blog I'll be discussing why we filmed at the exact location and more. 


See you soon!!!

The editing of the production.

 Hey, Hey, welcome back! After recording it was time to piece everything together. The editing app was decided to stick to Capcut. While editing I didn't want to have to learn a new software so Capcut was the best choice. I was already familiar with it so it just made everything simpler.  When deciding on the song we needed one that fit the vibe and when editing I decided to use the semi beginning of the song. The beginning of the song had too much intro while I wanted it straight to the point. I overlapped it a bit though so that it didn't just roughly go into the song without somewhat of an intro. While filming I didn't take into consideration the time limit as I should have. Some of the videos were pretty long in seconds so I had to cut it down. Having to edit some of each clips to 10 seconds or less without getting the main subject out. I also had to cut videos into two and put them together to cut the middle out as it wasn't important. With the video I had to cut i...

Planning blog: Location, participants, health, and schedule

Welcome back to my blog!  Today I'm going to go even further into the planning of how my group's opening scene came to be. Although planning this was so fun, there was also a lot of layers to it. I'll start by talking about our location. When first discussing about our location, we knew that it would have to be somewhere of a location region as well as a mall where people visit frequently. After conversing about it  we decided on Sawgrass Mall. We were satisfied with that at first the realized that we had an issue.  What we wanted to do would require us to be in a smaller and more confined room. After realizing that, we decided to back on the scratch board and make some compromises. With only a few minutes of deliberating, we decided to use a groupmates' house. With our location confirmed everything seems set.  So far we have all of our scenes set, assigned roles, and our location. Some of the things we're still looking into are the props we will need. With this bei...

Production blog; Filming

 Welcome back!!!!!  Now as stated in the previous blog some hardships were faced. One that I didn't mention was group disagreements. When in a group sometimes tension can run high and be difficult with working with each other. Now even though filming went ok it could have been better. I stated the scheduling made a lot of things difficult which led to some arguments. Now these arguments led tension that were not hashed out until the day of filming. While filming, I wanted our acting to be beyond surface level. This was impossible with the anger that was fueling the room. To be able to film I had to get everything off of the table. Two members weren't seeing eye to eye and in order to not show it while recording a discussion was prompted. After talking it all out, it was a better place to film.  While filming (part two) While filming, it was done in my house and I wanted everything perfect. To have a lot of the scenes authentic, I put a movie in the background so in the sc...
