Continuing to film

We finally filmed! This past Wednesday, November 27th,

three out of four members of our group met up and recorded some scenes.

Unfortunately it came to an abrupt stop when one of our group members

who had checked the camera out from our classroom neglected to check if

the camera was charged or not. So when we tried to officially record our music video,

the camera would not turn on. However, I was able to deduce that the camera can be

on when you kept it plugged into the wall. We were able to film certain scenes that

did not require the camera to be moved or at a position that was distant from the outlet

in the wall. We filmed about two different scenes but many takes of each scene. We

honestly did great with what we had. 

Like I said before we filmed a total of two scenes. One scene during the music

video where the stalker realizes that her 'stalkee' is playing ping pong with his friend.

The camera does a close up and then it cuts to a POV where the viewer sees the phone

as if they were the stalker. Then it shows the stalker grabbing her belongings and running

to go to where he is. We filmed this multiple times in order to get enough chances to

capture what we envisioned. The second scene we filmed is when the 'stalkee' is with

his friend playing video games. Like the first scene we filmed we took like three or four

takes of the scene. We then filmed the 'stalkee' receiving a phone call from his stalker.

During this scene, the stalker is continuing to play video games and suddenly gets a

phone call and shows his friend. It then cuts to a close up of the phone where it shows

“unknown” to solidify that it was the stalker calling him. 

We plan to film the rest of the music video this Thursday, December 5th. We have a

minute and some seconds left out of the music video to film. After school on Thursday

we plan on going to the mall to film those scenes and then to our group member’s house

to finish the scenes we need to finish. We ended up changing a lot from what our storyboard

initially looked like. We managed to keep the concept the same but the locations are different.
Instead of a park, the location changed to a ping-pong area in our group member’s house.

We were unable to find a nearby park that fit the purpose of what we wanted. Hopefully we

finish filming the complete music video. From my experience of doing the commercial, the

editing is what matters. The filming skills can be okay but if you know how to edit then

everything can come together nicely. The sooner we do the filming, the sooner we can

edit and have our final product.
