Filming Day!!! For real this time!

After completing a storyboard for the music video, we planned what days we can film. After debating on which day to film, we finally were able to set a date. We decided to film our music video during thanksgiving break. Kaliyah checked out a camera and tripod. We didn’t check out a SD card because we bought one personally. During Thanksgiving Break, we met up on saturday to film. We met up at galleria mall at 2:30p.m. I was the first person to arrive at the mall, so I waited for my other group members to come. One of the members in my group were running late and it delayed us. Therefore, we started to film without them. We used my phone to play the song throughout the filming process. 

When we started to film, we experienced technical difficulties. We realized that the camera would not turn on. When Kaliyah charged the camera, it turned on for about ten minutes and then shut off. We tried to charge it some more to see if it will turn on. Unfortunately, the camera did not turn on. This led us to using our phones to film the music video. The phone that we used was an IPhone XS Max. The camera quality was brilliant! Also, it was much easier for us to record because we were familiar with the IPhone.

In my opinion, I enjoyed filming the music video. I thought it was cool that we were filming outside of school which gave us way more freedom. Also, in the video we were shopping which is one of my favorite things to do. As a whole, we all brought creative ideas to the table and had fun creating the video. Luckily, we were able to record at the mall quickly because we planned ahead. Once we finished filming at the mall, we headed to the beach to finish. The weather at the beach was great and we found a spot that had great lighting. Again, we were able to film the last few shots quickly because we followed the plan. We all took turns filming at the beach. I recorded the establishing shot. All in all, the filming process was great and we worked great together !
