Filming Day: Arcade

 Today was a good day of filming my group and I planned on going to the bowling alley and the arcade on the same day, but since everyone was not able too only one of us could go which was me. The plans got switched up last minute because not everyone could come with a ride. So we had to cut out the bowling alley and just stick to the arcade. Luckily for me, my friends were planning on hanging out with me that day so I decided to go to the mall where there was an arcade. I texted my teammates and told them that I was able to go to the record that day because we didn't have that much time left to shoot. So I got picked up by my friends and we headed to the mall. Once we got to the mall we recorded ourselves getting food and walking around. We shopped around for a bit and then we sat down for a bit because our legs hurt. After a while, we proceeded to the arcade. Once we arrived we were looking to see if we had to pay or if we could pretend to use the machines and we decided to pretend. We walked around and started off with the basketball. This took multiple takes because three of us went and we had to get the angles right. These shots took around 10 minutes to do because of the number of different angles and the number of people needing to go. After that, I walked around and took various videos of the arcade from up close and far away. After that, we went on the motorcycle ride and there were still tickets in the game so we were actually able to do the games. While they were playing I recorded them on the motorcycle game and then switched out and I went after and they recorded me. After that, we went to a few other games that didn't need tickets to look like we were playing them. We played some air hockey and I got a lot of close-up shots of them playing. Afterward, we went to the gift counter and asked if they would pretend to give us a gift. The guy behind the counter was so happy to do it for us. we got a big stuffed animal and pretended to get it. My friends really did a great job looking happy during these shots.

production : costumes/ props

 A big component of the film was costumes. In the first scene, I wanted the couple to look comfortable, maybe wearing pajamas or super casual clothing. Since they will be on the couch I thought that maybe pajamas would be best. After discussing it with my team we all decided on pajamas. Maybe be striped pajamas or maybe all one color pajamas. I'm thinking about this hard because I feel like it would be very important to the scene and it might add or take away attention to the plot. The little girl with the doll would be wearing a dress or something kinda creepy. The dress would probably look similar to the doll or resemble it and have similar colors to it. I was thinking about shirt and jeans for the little girl holding the doll but I felt that wouldn't be creepy enough. So the dress is for now. I discussed this with my team and they agreed with me on this matter. So the first scene was done when it came to the dream. Next, it was the girl who woke up from her dream. She would ...

Filming Blog: Senior patio

Image
 Today I went out with my group to began day two of shooting. The second I walked outside I could feel the sun beating on me. my teammates also felt how hot it was. I went down the stairs and proceeded to walk to the bathroom to change. I walked in and changed really quick because we didn't have that much time today. After I was done changing I walked to the senior patio and saw my teammates setting up the shot and discussing what we need to do. When I went to the table we started talking about how we needed to reshoot the shot from the last day of filming. I ran into a problem with my team though. One of my teammates didn't have the same outfit on as last time so instead, we had to redo the whole shot. After we came to that conclusion my team and I had to find a grey jacket to use so we didn't have to redo the shot. This would save us so much time. I realized one of our teammates had a grey jacket on but she didn't want to take it off because she didn't have a shir...

Let’s Get Our Groove On !!!

  My group has not yet decided on a song for our music video. We have, however, devised a list of songs that we could do. We also thought about where we would film them, and what the story for the video would be like. One song picked was   Time of  Our Lives   by Pitbull and Ne-Yo. This song is very upbeat so we thought about filming it in a car driving down the road with the roof down heading to the beach. The song talks about having a good time so we wanted to show us being worry-free and having fun.      There is no exact costume to wear for a music video. What we wear will depend on the type of music that is featured. For example, if we were to do  Time of Our Lives , we would be in casual attire such as t-shirts and shorts or swimsuits for the beach scene.  Props also differ based on the type of music and location where the video is filmed. In this case, we would need a car with an open roof or sunroof, maybe a boombox, and beach supplie...
