Filming Blog #2

     My group and I went filming on thanksgiving weekend. One of my group mates, Kaliyah, picked me up from work. She picked me up at 2:30 and then our group mates, Shania and Kerin, met us at Galleria mall where we commenced making our video. Kerin was a little late so we had to use the boy Kaliyah was baby sitting to replace her for the first shot. For that first shot we will have to remake it because it did not have the effect that we wanted it to have. We have plans on remaking it on Tuesday after school. We will wear the same clothes that we had on that weekend in order to keep the costumes part of the scene right. The scene was us in the car vibing out to the song. We want to make it seem like a vlog and then the song starts playing and we start jamming to it. This gives the scene the surreal look of a group of friends hanging out while listening to some chill music.

     After we did that shot we did the shot on the escalator. We did a shot of us going up the escalator and then did one going down the escalator. We then went inside of the mall to Holister and I filmed them shopping for different clothes. We went back inside of Macy’s and filmed everyone coming out of the bathroom with different clothes on to show that we were going out. The next shot would be at the beach. Kaliyah, Kerin and myself went to the beach in one car while Shania went with her sister. In the car we played the music on the radio and acted like we were doing a vlog on our phones. This made it seem like we were just taking a video to show that we were together. I took a video of the scenery while Kaliyah was driving to establish the change of scenery. We found a place to park after about 10 minutes and Shania met us there. 

     When Shania met us there we went on to the beach and filmed a couple different shots. We filmed us with a speaker drinking water and dancing to the music. Me and Shania ran on the sand towards the water for another shot. This was to show that we were having fun at the beach. I filmed Shania and Kaliyah throwing up sand and talking to each other, while Kerin set up the music. I then filmed all of them together while the music was playing, incorporating the music portion into the video. After doing all of these things we took another vlog of us saying goodbye to one another and then we all went home after that. We made sure to send each other the videos in the group chat that we have and then send it to our emails. We had to do it this way because Kaliyah forgot that the camera needed to be charged. This caused her to start charging it an hour before we had to meet and the camera only had 6 minutes of battery life. The battery life did not lost because the camera was kept open the entire time we were driving. We all just made the decision to record it on our phones, send it to our emails, and then insert it into the computer to edit it that way.
