Production Blog- Final Days of Filming

 Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog! Today is about the last few sessions of filming which brings us one step closer to the final polished music video. I spent the second part of my week filming the last remaining scenes. Those scenes were, the intro scene, the patio scene, the car scene, the friends house scene, the drying off scene, the sidewalk scene and the last two garage scenes. I filmed around two scenes per day this week to save time for editing when I had the chance. Starting with intro and patio scene, I needed peak daylight hours for these clips. So I waited until around 1pm before I started filming. I had my partner come over for the filming as they are needed in the first scene. Once they came I set up a tripod and filmed the scene in my room with good natural lighting from the window, and the prop camera I needed to include in the scene. Once that was done with I set up the scene for the patio scene and asked my partner to hold the camera while I was being filmed, that was the first day of filming. On the second day I filmed the car scene and the friends house scene. These were relatively easy because they only took a few seconds of time to do because they are relatively short scenes in this music video. The car scene only required the setting to be nighttime so I waited until 9pm and then acted out the scene with my partner filming me. For the house scene all it involved was me acting confused while my partner followed me around while filming. To make this scene flow as smooth as possible I had my partner use a stabilizer with the camera while filming to make sure the footage was appealing. For the last two days of filming I filmed the drying off scene, the sidewalk scene and the two garage scenes. For the sidewalk scene I filmed at around 1pm to get good lighting, and for the drying off scene I had to borrow my friends bathroom which was big enough to film in without accidently catching ourselves in the mirror. For the last two scenes I filmed late at night in an abandoned garage next to my partners house. These scenes were easy and only required a tripod for one of the clips, and my partner filmed for the rest. That is all the filming for this project wrapped up now, and all the time I have for today! See you all next time!

 It was a pleasure, goodbye.

Final Task- Peer Review

  Hello Everyone! Welcome back to todays blog! Todays topic is going to be focused mainly about a peer review of the Final Task recently finished. The following text will be takes from a friend of mine who gave his time to watch and critically review my Final Task. " The sequence, while gripping and atmospheric, also presented several areas for improvement.  Firstly, the use of eerie music and sound effects effectively set the proper mood and created a sense of suspense right from the start. The choice of soundtrack greatly enhanced the anticipation, making it a standout element that should definitely be kept.  However, the pacing of the title sequence seemed a bit rushed. Slowing down the transitions between scenes and allowing certain shots to linger could amplify the immersion and build a stronger connection with the audience.  Visually, the use of lighting and shadows was commendable. The interplay of light and dark added depth to the scenes and added to the over...

Production Blog- First Successes

 Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog! Todays topic is about the first few sessions of filming for the music video. The Florida weather finally cleared up and was sunny for the first time in a while. I took this opportunity of good weather to start the filming process for a few scenes. The scenes I wanted to get finished up where the, forest  scene, the beach scene and the open field  scene. I planned to film these three scenes throughout the course of two days. For the beach scene I needed to catch the sunrise to make the scene more pleasing to the eyes. So I needed to be up at at the beach at around 7:00 in the morning to film. I spent the first day filming on the beach and got all the clips I needed for the scene. All I brought with me was a tripod and the costume I chose for the film session. I chose a red tank top and a blue pair of bathing trunks so that it would be safe to in the water since they are light clothes. I spent the second day filming the field sc...
