Filming the video

So far with filming, we've got a few scenes completed. Personally, I left while on break so I wasn't present for one day of filming. However, we are still filming out commercial and I am there for it. For example, we are going to Las Olas our second filming location the next day. To shoot and possibly the park as well. So far we have dumped and saved any footage we've got onto the editing software. With our schedules, we are planning after school days and leaving the end of the week and weekend for editing. The good thing is we already have a vision and are completing it. With only 3 locations filming isn't the struggle it's more knowing how much time we have. Another convenient thing is that all 3 locations are close around town so it's not troublesome do reach all three. 

   My role in the video is to act and I help with filming if we are getting two-person shots. As well as having input on the editing process. With our video, it doesn't involve traditional acting. Our filming style is a montage like with no scripting. My acting is just being in the shot and highlighting what is happening in the scene. Having no script allows us to set the mood through body language and facial expressions. Another thing that would influence the mood would be our song choice. I think my actions will have an influence on the message we want to get across. Which is teenagers having fun, like documenting us enjoying life.  Through the song's message and our acting the mood will be set. 

  With our filming shots, we have very common ideas. Having to figure out running however was challenging. Running with a camera trying to keep it stabilized. Even with a stabilizer setting it wasn't just like how we wanted it. There haven't been too many challenges with filming and the locations we chose. Thankfully no safety issues have occurred, and the weather has been permitting.  The filming has been smooth and no real big issues have been brought up. Filming for me at least has been positive. We have a scene of our video filmed and approved by the group. Now to just to continue on and finish!
