The show must go on! Production blog

  The film is basically done! Today we talked with Zane. We planned out when to meet. Also when she was available to film. We need to film 2 more scenes. The one where I am robbing the bank with my group. And when we run away. This will probably take a total of 10 minutes to film. Not too much time at all. Then we move on to editing. That is Cayden's job. He is a great editor. But it takes longer since his computer is older. But it is alright we are making a progress. Some changes might have to be made. Like how the scene is shot. And where it is set. This means we are close. Also that we are almost done. This has been a long and fun process.

Editing blog: Time for modifications!

 For editing the first half the video we took a simpler route. Giving Addison the job of main editor. We started out at the beginning of the song. I knew that we needed 1 minutes and 15 seconds of film but we could put the video at the start of any point in the song. We put the clips in order of what the storyboard called for. The video of me and my group walking into the ice rink. We bought our tickets and then the video pans to us putting on the ice skates. Addison used a great technique for this. I'm not sure exactly what editing software she was using but it gave a nice slide transition. I hadn't seen it before. It was quiet neat. Another thing I liked was the use of cropping. When the chorus was sung again, it showed us getting on the ice. I thought that it created a sense of memorization. Since most people know the songs iconic chorus, it was solidifying for our audience to watch the main event of the video. Getting on the ice. While the recognizable chorus plays. Not to

Storyboard blog: Storyboard for our music video

Image
  Storyboard Blog Scene 1: Our music video starts out with all the characters walking up to a ticket booth. The ticket booth of an ice skating rink. The characters hand the ticket booth worker money and buy their tickets. This will be a medium-long shot. Scene 2: There is a wipe transition to characters walking to the rink. They head over to the ice skates place. This will be an over the shoulder shot. Scene 3: There is a jump cut. They then purchase their ice skates. Everyone now grabs their ice skates in a medium-long shot. Scene 4: This scene starts out with a split screen of character putting on their ice skates. Tying their laces. It beings with a fade-in. Scene 5: Our characters walk onto the ice. We are using a tracking shot to follow them around the ice skating rink.  Scene 6: One of our characters is focused on. They are ice skating as well. This character slips and falls on the ice. We then use a quick zoom into our characters head for a transition into our next scene. Scene

Filming blog 2: Headed to the mall

Image
 For the second half of filming the music video, we went to the mall. According to our storyboard we were to go to the mall and see Santa. Unfortunately, mall Santa was going to make us pay a fee. So we improvised. I grabbed some paper from a letter writing table nearby. I then shot everyone writing letters to Santa in an "over the shoulder" shot. I then shot everyone putting their letters into the Santa mailbox. I usually do not experience Christmas since I don't celebrate it. We then did some window shopping. Our music video idea was definitely a good idea. The mall was full of Christmas themed things! I liked that the whole mall could become a set for the music video. Every shop we went into had Christmas themed things. I had no idea that I would like Christmas stuff that much. I had to leave early from the mall. So the rest of my group shot the rest of the music video in the mall. They got some great shots. Turns out we didn't need Santa! The filming was extremely
