Filming Blog (FOR REAL)

Over our Thanksgiving break not only did we eat turkey, but we also 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. I took charge and texted in the group chat that we needed to get it done. Saturday November 30th was a no go for Jontae and Edgardo because they had basketball. On Sunday December 1st Fulvio went to the Dolphins game so we could not film that day either. Luckily all of our families left earlier on friday so we were able to film later in the day. We all agreed on a time and met at the Galleria mall. Fulvio ran a little late so we didn't film at the exact time we wanted. Our communication was much better which led to us actually filming.

The actual filming process was pretty smooth. We took multiple shots for each scene to insure we had good footage. The scene that we had the most trouble with was the scooter scene it took us a while to find a scooter. Once we finally found some it took us a while to use them because we had to download the app for it which took long. Once we finally had them moving we took a lot of shots of us riding because it was blurry at some points. We also struggled finding homeless people willing to be in our video. Its not as easy as it sounded but we did find one. Overall it was a success we got our footage and we think our video will turn out really good.

Tomorrow in class we will begin editing. We have some experience from our music video so it should be pretty smooth. Although the computers are pretty slow if we start early we can hopefully finish all of it and be done. 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 and knock it out. I'm very excited to see how this video turns out. The hard part is done (filming) it's now just editing. 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.
