Production Blog: Filming Part two



The first scene we were filming was Christel walking up to the door to let her friends in. Everyone went outside with their props ands gifts except for Christel. I told my brother to send her a message saying “we outside” so i can film the message and her walking up to the door.  We had to refill this scene about 5 times, since they kept messing up and looking at the camera. Felisha wanted the camera to see Chatae in the back, so I filmed the last 3 boys walking up to try to see Chatae in the background. I don’t think i will use this scene since we have a limited space to meet the time frame.

The next scene we filmed was everyone playing uno. We had to give everyone a random cards and everyone had a plus 2 but Felisha for the uno game.  This scene took us so many tries. They are so loud when we were trying to play and the one time i needed to talk they couldn’t. The first time i filmed it was very awkward and quiet so we had to redo about 7 times before we filmed a decent scene. 

The next scene was Felisha bringing water to the group. I moved around a few times try to get a proper angle. We had filmed this a few times before they got it right. We stopped this scene with Christel holding her gift do for the nest scene i can do a close up to her opening the gift. I told them to get this scene right the first time because we couldn’t rewrap the gift. The scene came out good but my problem was Kieron was talking too much. They told me to just redo it with another gift but the gift is a different size. The second time we filmed it came out way better but i wised i redid the previous scene to match the size of the gift.  By this time we were limited on time because it was starting to get late.

Production Blog: Music video

 After we finished filming the outdoor scenes, we filmed the indoor 0scenes. The majority of these scenes involved only the main character. The first indoor scene was scene four. Scene four was the main character opening the room door and putting the picture in the mirror. For this scene, we used a tracking shot to show her coming in and placing the image on the mirror. This concluded what was supposed to be the first 24 seconds of the song. After this, we filmed scene ten. Scene ten was the main character laying on the bed and then getting up to look out the window. for this scene, we needed it to be dark but not too dark to the point the camera quality changes, or she can't be seen. We used a ring light to add enough light so the scene wouldn't come out too dark, and we closed the blinds so it wouldn't be too bright. I had to adjust the brightness of the ring light since it was too bright in her eyes. We recorded this scene about five times because we wanted it to be with...

Production Blog- Editing

 Hello, today in this blog I will discuss how I finished the editing my music video. As I mentioned in my previous blog, the video from CapCut was very choppy and glitchy. I didn’t want to deal with it so I switched to a different editing platform. I looked on TikTok for good editing platforms for computer. I kept seeing Wondershare Filmora, so that’s what I downloaded. Once it finished downloading I did the same thing I did in CapCut. On the app I added all the clips I timed so I can access it easier. I dragged the song to the video and trimmed it to be 1:15. I drag the vidro clips to match the song. I used the video from CapCut as a reference to how to the video should look. Something I like about the sofeware is that I can preview the video clips on a bigger screen so I didn’t have to constantly drag and delete.This took me a little while to get used to. When I tried to trim the video I click the scissors which splits the video. Not only did it split the video but also the song ...

Production Blog: Filming Part 3

 After the gift opening scene the doorbell ring and the next scene is the friends looking at the camera. I had a perfume box that was decorated, so we put the note in there to put it outside.  Earlier before we stared filming i put the box outside and someone moved it.  I went outside to look for the box and I couldn’t find it. I asked everybody if they moved it and where did they put it. Since nobody couldn’t tell me where the box was I had to check the camera. I’m glad the camera recorded who did it. I had to scroll about an hour back to see Felisha moved it into the bushes so it wouldn’t be seen in the first scene. Once we had the box in place everyone gathered around the google Home Screen and said their lines. Nobody practiced their lines except for Christel so there was a little improvising to save time. This was a fairly simple scene and it only took us two tries to get it right. The next scene i used a tracking shot to show Christel picking up the box. The next sc...
