Filming Blog

My group has not started the filming process yet. The reason for this is we all live very far from each other. We intend to start filming over the break. The reason we plan to do this is so we have more time. If we where to film on school days we would have only a couple hours. The reason for this is because school ends late and driving there would take time, along with homework. Also, we will all meet at Lucy’s house to begin and maybe go other places. Our way for transportation for filming is our parents. Also we intend on following our story board. We will follow it as close as possible. The reason we want to follow it so we can keep the correct timing. To add, we will follow it so we keep the same ideas. If we do stray away from the storyboard it will be minor and for a reason. One reason we would do this is because something does not workout. Another reason could be the time limit on the music video. My group needs a lot of supplies to film our music video. The technological supplies are Camera, SD card, Tripod etc. We will check out a camera from our class tomorrow. Along with this we will check out our tripod. We need a tripod for filming. The reason we need a tripod to film is because we only have three people in our group. The reason we will check it out tomorrow is because there is a break for Thanksgiving. We need to bring a lot of things to film. Somethings we need are flashing colorful lights. I can supply these because I already have some. This will be for the club scene. It is important to have these lights because it will contribute to the setting. Also we will need dresses and jewelry and makeup. All the members of our group will be supplying their own. To add, we intend on having more people in our music video. The reason for this is so we can clearly show the viewers where we are. We will be showing them that we are in a social setting, like a club. We are trying to get two or more people to help us enhance the setting. These girls will also be in dancing, going out dresses. They will supply themselves with their costumes and accessories.

Our new AICE media project was assigned today by our teachers, November 14th 2019, this new assignment seems very interesting and fun. Last project was a commercial that was mildly easy, yet very fun. It was a very fun assignment to do and my group was very successful. I learned that the filming process is more enjoyable then the editing process. I also learned that I enjoy the filming process from our last project. The reason I think I like this is because I can take charge. I love to act in these projects as well, I learned that from our filming day for our commercial. This is important to have because is no one was comfortable acting the project would not have turned out as good at it did. To add to this, something that I could do better is to have better attendance. I need to come to class more because I keep getting off track. This would help my group and my self including my grade. Another thing I can do better is learn how to edit better. The way I will do this is by paying attention to other people. Also I can ask my teachers and look through my notes for this.
 Our group decided on the song “I got a Feeling” by the black eyed peas. There was other songs discussed such as “Ice Ice Baby” or a country song. I said that we needed a song that we could properly act out or preform something to go with the song. Our songs genre is pop. The reason we chose it is because it is and up beat song and it is easy to make up what we will do in the video. This will be helpful because pop is a large genre and going to have a lot of information.
Costumes: Our costumes will consist of pajamas and clubbing, or going out clothes.
Lighting: In the beginning there will be natural lighting, and for later there will be flashing different color lights and darkness.
Acting: There will be three actors included in this music video, and we will be acting like we are getting ready, they will be exited and happy. Also at the end they will be acting like they are at a club and they will be dancing.
Makeup: There will be makeup because there will be three female actors. It will be light to medium makeup because they are going out.
Props: We will be using a lot of props. Some consist of makeup, red solo cups, accessories.
