Planning for my music video


 The song chosen for our music video is: Beggin’ on your knees by Victoria justice. Since it is a song that displays teenage material, our music video is going to be displayed that way too. For that reason, we want to make it casual and teenage like. For our location, we chose two different places to film. One of those places is the beach. We chose this place because it is a very popular and also, a place where many people, especially teenagers go and socialize with their friends. The second place we chose is a park. A park is also a sociable place where people can go and have fun which is mostly what our song reflects. We have chosen to film in the afternoon when the sun is still up, like 4-5 p.m. This way, we can make it more creative. The couples that we use in our video will be doing something ordinary together(walk on the beach and hold hands, winging at the park), so the clothing will be casual. However, we so need to follow the conventions of pop commercials, so the clothes will be worn in a trendy way or a trendy brand. Props will not be used in our video because the plot focuses on the relationship between out characters. Its a break up song so we need to focus on emotional portrayal in the short amount of time we have. If we had more time we would probably make the video  include props. Our recordings will take place on November 23-24 and December 2nd. Jayda will not be in town for the third filming day so we must get majority of the scenes complete on the week days. If there is an emergency, rain or any unforeseen occurrence, our group will put our back up plan in play.  We will record at Jayda, Judith, or Jocelyns house.  The recording could be done in our backyards and our parking lots. The couples activities would change. They would probably change to sitting on the parking stump together flirting and having a picnic together. Overall, the commercial will still be filmed on the same days with the same costumes and song.  We have all made sure we will be accountable and sharp on the recording days.

Resuming the editing process

Image
Continuing with our film, my group and I have have started editing each of our scenes. There are a total of 60 scenes. Each one of us has at least 12 scenes to edit. Even though there are a few scenes yet to be shot, we have begun to edit the scenes that are completed since there are quite a few. As for me, I have 12 scenes to edit. Beginning with the sharpening knives scene and ending with the mother making tea from the kettle. The first scene that I edited was the knives scene. This scene consisted of a close up shot of the knives indicating that the evil mother is prepping to get on with her sinister plan. Therefore, this scene has a great amount of tensión and suspense as the audience is viewing the dangerous weapon the mom is using for her plan. Which is why I made the lighting of this scene be low key lighting to créate the suspense within the scene. I also made the scene a bit in slow motion to emphasize the mother sharpening the knvies. As for sound, I inserted an eerie creepy ...

Editing process

Image
As the filming journey continues, my group and I have still not finished filming. We have about 3 scenes to film to be able to complete the movie. The scene where Emily and her friend go into the house, the scene where the mom makes Emily fall asleep with the tea, and the ending scene. As I begin my editing process, I am currently still looking over the scenes that I have to edit. I am not able to edit at this moment due to the fact that I am in a different country because of an emergency last minute trip. As I am looking over the scenes, I am writing down ideas to make the film more creative. Also, I am writing down what needs to be edited, for example, what needs to be cut out from the scene. One of my scenes is where the mom is sharpening the knvies. In my opinion, that scene needs to have a bit of low key lighting added along with creepy eerie music since those are dangerous weapons and it leaves the audience at the edge of their set. The next scene is the scene where Emily and Jan...

Filming Review

Image
 My group and I have taken a pause from filming. The last day we filmed was Tuesday, March 23. The next day we film will be the last since we have completed most of the film. To better prepare for our next filming session, I am currently reviewing my role and lines. This way, it will be easier not only for me but for my group. This will help us to not have to reshoot the scene multiple times and take more time than needed. In the scenes that are yet to be filmed, my character has many lines and the acting has to be adeuqate. The scene where Emily drinks the tea, she has to faint and act weak. Practice makes perfect so the more I practice my lines and character, the more unchallenging things will go. Also, I have been looking into the story board my group and I completed. I have crossed out or set aside the scenes we have already completed in the storyboard. I have marked the ones we haven't. Thing I noticed while at our filming sessions was that we tended to look back at the storyb...
