My music video project I am doing for my Media class requires me to film the video itself. The music song choice is "Hey THERE Deliljah". The filming took place on November 23rd. The location was at Young Circle in Hollywood, Florida. The setting for the video was at night so I had to go when it was dark outside. I was leaving from a friends house before I reached the park. My mom had a friend in the car, so they had to leave soon. My mom and friend also came from a party at another one of my friends house. They came to pick me up, but I also had to go film. My mom gave me around 10-15 minutes to go film with my group.
Misunderstood, she was under the influence that if the video is short the filming will be short. After 3 minutes in, we weren't even filming yet. Elijah and Zeke had other friends there at the park. This slowed down the process to actually start filming since they weren't going to be a part of the vid. The original choice for the female lead into the music was changed into another friend also at the park. I wanted to get as much effort put into the 10 minutes I had, so I tried rushing things a bit. I decided to be the cameraman and got the scenes into position. The first scene was with the man with the guitar isolated. This was completed at the side of a fountain. The next scene was comprised of the setting shot, which would set the setting of the park at night.
However, it also captured an already placed Christmas tree, which was not planned to be in the video. However this tree sets the mood a bit better with the Holiday and Romantic theme. The third scene was with the man perched on top of a tree strumming his guitar and singing while the girl strolls past unnoticing of the man. The tree blocked most light so it was incredibly dark on camera so flash was needed to film. The camera captured mostly the bottom half of Zeke (the guitar player). Another problem was with the other friends, who kept getting caught in the shot, so they had to move to a completely different position. This was the final scene I could stay and help with since my mom was asking for me to come. Apparently the rest of the filming went by smoothly so I was not worried about the footage. When we went back to school last Tuesday, I asked Elijah and Zeke to dump the footage onto the laptop, but they dumped it on onedrive. The filming stage was finally completed and now my group is ready to move onto the editing stage.
