Filming Blog

Our group unfortunately hasn’t filmed yet. We are all looking

forward to filming our music video. Since we all actually listen

to the song we plan on making the music video to, it’s going to

be a fun process. It’s an upbeat song that we’ve been listening

to for years. ‘Kiss Me Thru The Phone’ is a classic that came out

in 2008. Like mentioned before in the storyboard blog, we plan on

putting a twist to the music video. Originally, the song is a love song

that centers the artist and his love interest. However, my group and

I plan on making the music video have a plot of a stalker story. Closely

listening to the song and its lyrics we were able to come up with a weird

twist. The main character in the music video will be in love with the other

character but it’s in an obsessive way. The stalkee will be going through

the process of not realizing the stalker, recognizing the stalker, and

confronting her. 

We have planned extensively on what we would like the process of

filming to be like. This includes what was written in the planning blog

and the storyboard blog. We had also talked in person and over text

messages on what we would like to do for our music video. We have

three official locations that we want to film at. These include the

Galleria Mall, a public park, and one of our group member’s house.

The reasoning behind these locations are specific to the settings. For

the mall location, we had wanted to choose somewhere that the main

character can first see her love interest. The mall was perfect because

many people go to the mall so coming across her love interest wouldn’t

be so shocking. The park was fitting because it’s a setting that can be

seen as more casual and not so ‘stalkerish’. We included the house as

a filming location because it’s where the climax of the music video is taking

place. The stalker finally is seen as insane because she had gone to the

love interest’s house. 

Hopefully everything goes as planned. When we were filming our

commercial everything went smoothly to where we got the takes that

were necessesary. However, the editing process was a little more stressful.

Since there was a problem with the editing software, my group and I

had a very short amount of time to actually edit. I feel like if we had

more time to edit, not just an hour and thirty minutes, then the final

product would have been better. I want to do as much as we can to

be able to have as much time to edit the music video. That is why we

decided to film on the 11/26 (Tuesday) even though one of our group

members can not make it. We are filming scenes that she isn’t needed

for. Then we would like to film on 11/30 when we can all film. We all have

positive thoughts in order to have what we have on paper come to life.
