Public transit

 Hello blog, so with my current work schedule and how busy I have been it’s been a little difficult to film. I have taken into account my partner (Paneet Kandolas) that I have been lacking in attention to the project in my duty of filming in my own free time with her. However, I did film with her on Monday and Tuesday before this week. 


So I’ve planned the filming days that will only contain clips of me and or others that we know. However I am supposed to be the main character so this has been rather difficult. But I decided just today 10/26 that when my friend invited me out I should film our interaction. I got one particular clip that I thought was hilarious. We decided to play around with some swords we found in the Halloween section and film ourselves. Added with more clips of me running across the street and getting on the public bus. Though all of that is a key part of my normal day, it just screams young and dumb, so even if my clips don’t make the Final Cut I still wanna say I put the effort forward to contribute to the video. 

Likewise, when I decided to edit the clips and fast-forward them a bit, my partner had already taken the initiative to edit and put in place our music video seeing as many clips were already on her phone so I did my best to edit and crop the scenes to fit. I went into CapCut and cropped the clip of me walking on the bus, inserting my dollar into the machine. My friend who was already on the bus recorded me walking to the seat beside her. This is an important part to me because growing up with a car and not wanting to walk places is the best transportation for someone who has little money and can not always afford to take expensive transportation. In addition, the angles that were shown were a point-of-view shot and then a long-distance shot showing my full figure. 


I’ve also planned to film tomorrow seeing as it is Halloween, me and a couple of friends are planning to hang out, I’m not yet sure how this filming will go but I am very excited. Thank you for tuning in to the blog, and see you tomorrow.

choppy clips -production

Image
In production I plan on doing a view of my own eyes, through this lens, and taking it into a continuous loop, showing my day-by-day. However, it doesn’t change It is supposed to offer you my day isn’t so different from one of a working adult or that of someone who’s a slave to the government income. Then finally in the end it will show you how I break that cycle and take in my happiness with friends and chilling by the beach. However, on my first day of recording, I underestimated the difficulty. I would often forget to record or accidentally end the recording. Holding the camera up to my forehead was also difficult to capture the visual representation through my eyes. In another situation with the camera being held up, many people look at me weirdly, not that I care too much but personally capturing everyone in my video does seem unnecessary and rude. However, I am considering blurring non-consenting parties out. Clips The clips I have produced have been a little testing clips....

Angles and Editing

Image
  Hello blog, so I wanna talk about editing today. When editing clips I personally filmed. I started with changing the rotation. so if it was filmed horizontally by accident I changed it in my simple iPhone editing to vertically. I have not been able to completely watch the video, because my partner has not let me view the edits she’s made officially.   But when I am able to completely watch it. I hope to take out extra unnecessary clips and or clips that may have repetitive angles. Though there is no fundamental storyline, I want the angles, and editing to support the song. The visual appeal I’m following is that of one summer vibe, when looking at a previously filmed Khalid song she often uses filters over them changing lighting. I also want to do that because the time the song was produced aligns with the aesthetic of other music video videos.  Some creative angles I've shot or pitched can be seen throughout. My personal favorite was my and my partner's first film...

Filming cost

Image
 Hello blog, so to greatly recap my filming history. I must include the spending I've succumbed to in this process. Honestly just saying the title of the song out loud is a little ironic seeing as I’ve spent maybe more than a hundred dollars. I could just be acting dramatic but in this blog, I’ll account for the cost of filming.  So the first day of filming was actually the most budget-friendly and my partner got around with her parents' help, it was honestly the best filming day and we were able to go out and eat after. The second day of my filming was my Lyft to Las Olas (now I’ll pause right here, but something to take into account is majority of filming depends on availability and I work and also have other important classes I also partake in, cost and affordability of certain depends in ranges for me in my partner. I do not mean to exaggerate my spending I’m simply explaining how this project has not been cost affordable and I feel like it’s been neglected and should be a...
