Music Video Filming Blog

Filming is the process where people who want to make a film will get their media. This is done with cameras. Our group however did not schedule to film over the weekend. We scheduled all of our filming for during the Thanksgiving break. We found that this was the perfect time to film because we would all have flexible schedules. The weather was also supposed to be nice and sunny. This will be perfect for our shots at the beach. It will really show that our video has an upbeat theme. It would fit much better than if it were dark and gloomy outside. We plan to film on Wednesday, the 27th. We will all need to bring our props and costumes. This includes the beach goer outfit, sunglasses, beach umbrella, beach towels, sunscreen, a plush lobster and a bottle of water. The props will also help bring out the theme of the video. My group plans to use the cameras provided at school, however if this does not happen, we can always use the cameras on our phones. I also happen to have a camera that we can film with. However, it would be nice if we could use the school cameras, but I am not sure if we will be allowed to use them on a long holiday break. Using the phone camera can also be easier to transfer to computers (we would not need to use SD card readers.) With the phones we can just email them to our own email. From our email we can just drag it to our desktop. From the desktop, we can put it in Pinnacle Studios to edit. This is much easier than having to wait in class for a SD card reader. We will also be able to send each other the clips in our group chat.

Our filming locations will be:
Fort Lauderdale beach. This is the most convenient beach to go to for all of our group members.
Group member's house. We are thinking of some shots that would fit in the video that do not have to be in any specific location.
Restaurant: We have a specific scene that we want to be in our video. This will be easy to get because my family does own a restaurant.

I am sure we will not need to get together to film more than twice. We will get together to film on the beach, and at a group members house. We will make sure to get as many shots as possible to make sure we have enough.
