Grocery Store Scene

 Hello blog, today I’ll explain my first part of my filming which was at a grocery store. There are three different scenes in my intro. First one that im explaining now in this blog will be the grocery scene. The sound is the parking lot scene or better yet the snatching up/ kidnapping. The final one is the kitchen/ dinning scenes. The most important thing for my video was that of the camera angles because dialogue wasn’t really present other than necessary background sounds. 

The film start with a shot of me removing a tomato sauce can from infornt of my phone revealing me and starting the scene. I came up with shot myself, because I’ve previously used it in previous projects. However, not much was thoroughly planned for this scene. My friends and also director Kylie McDonald. Came up with possible shots and also recorded majority of the shots like that of Maya walking by the camera or the angles of me looking at Maya conspicuously and also staying a good distance away to add thriller. 

My overall favorite scene was the meat clip. It was much more intense because from the other clips it was now more present what my characters intentions were rather than just following someone. Don’t you feel like you’re getting the creeps? Well that’s the whole point especially in the tracking shots i got before and after of us walking around. Some other shots consisted of angles over the shoulder or middle/ full body shots.

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...
