Filming (hopefully) done! At Last!

Today's blog is about finishing the rest of the shots that were not finished on a previous filming day. So after the previous filming, I rested for a bit because it was getting a bit exhausting going back and forth to get the film. So this blog is about filming after resting. After about a day (or two) I then went on to finish the last couple of scenes. I decided to change the scene of the flashback. Instead of talking to someone I decided to make it a call and include the hand swinging down to a blurry view of the phone. By doing that I saved the time of trying to find someone else to try and get the shot. I wouldn't want to bother someone else with the tedious task of re-recording the action of standing in one place. So after deciding on that change I set up the camera to record me lifting the phone to my head and acting as if I was talking on it. And after that, I had to try and record a close-up of the phone going down but I didn't want to just separate the clip and zoom in on it. As a result, I came up with the idea of getting a family member to tilt the camera for me to follow the phone (Negotiation-100). So after a couple of scenes, I recorded a quick clip of me walking over to the bushes then the fun part came. So first I set up the tripod at the side of the bushes to not be directly behind me when I enter then record the camera going through the bushes behind. This was to create a kind of transition. I then moved the tripod to view the street and then I jogged down the road a bit but not too far. I came back to being it and hold the camera upside-down the view my legs to have it shake. I did this because I wanted the change in atmosphere to be apparent. I wanted the tone to be instead of going on a walk for a meet-up to be kind of frightening. I then settled the tripod up once again to look at a shop that is down the street. I then (with permission from the owner) set down a letter on a chair and then recorded myself sitting on it. And then I got up quickly which finished that clip then opened the letter but only flipped it open. I finished off the rest of the shots by having a close-up of the letter coming out of the envelope with just the word help. I also recorded a shot of me looking up to the sky/street quickly. This shot may or may not be included depending on whether or not it fitted in.

But... what comes... next...

Planning Storyboard for my Music Video

Image
 Now for my storyboard, the average length of each scene would take around 5 seconds each to come together to make 12 pictures and descriptions to encompass the plan shown by the storyboard. Scene 1 In this scene, it starts out with a mid-shot with several many short shots of the actor getting out of bed. In this shot, the camera mustn't move so it will be recorded as one long shot and cut into shots less than 5 seconds. This sequence will go in time with the music that will be playing. This will come up to about 12 shots being used in the first 5 or so seconds and then a while also being a short shot it would be much longer and have a pan to a door exiting the room. I feel like including an easter egg or something like that in it as something random to give a light and funny feeling in the beginning. Scene 2 The second shot would also be a wide shot that is composed of multiple clips. In these shots, it will show a different part of the same room but in these shots, it will be the...

Planning for my Music Video

Image
 Now for the plan for this music video to be recorded for the assignment  ages! The song that I planned on using which was mentioned previously is Feels Like Summer  by Childish Gambino . The genre for this song is R&B/Soul so the overall tone feels chill and relaxing. The main part of the story that I'm planning to make is to have something to do with traveling. This idea came from the original music video as it was mainly composed of an animated Childish Gambino walking down a long path all the way to his home while showing parts of other people's lives throughout the video. For my video, however, while it may have traveled the overall story will be different from the original. The props would include a way to cause a need for travel so it could be a letter or text/call on the phone. Since it's traveling another thing needed would be the outside (I guess?). A starting and ending location is also needed. There will also need to be reminders about the reason for trave...
