Production Blog: Fun on set!

Hello everyone, 

A few days ago I started my filming process! I filmed on both Saturday and Tuesday for my music video. On Saturday I gathered up my group at our filming location (set) which was Barnes and nobles. Though that day I did not have very much time to film I got to record multiple scenes. I also got the basic feel for the filming and the music video. I started with the scene of Justin Bieber’s first look at the love interest and when his friend tells him he’s a fool. As I carried on with the scenes I noticed that I began thinking about how to incorporate different shots and angles into the music video. I also noticed that the actors began getting more comfortable when filming my music video. This helped my music video look more natural. Also when I filmed Saturday I grew more comfortable with the camera. I learned how to do clearer shots. Also how to do takes without having the camera shake when doing scenes that follow a certain character. An issue that came up while filming was costume. At first I wanted Justin Bieber to have a backwards hat on so I could incorporate some of his actual style in my music video but ultimately decided not to do it because it didn’t end up looking good on the overall scene. The last issue that came up was that I did not get to finish filming on Saturday so I scheduled the continuation of filming for Tuesday because it worked out for most of us. Unfortunately it did not fit one of my actors schedules so I had a group mates brother step in for the role. Also the actors did not show up in the same costume/wardrobe as the previous scenes. So overall I ended up having to re-film all of my scenes on Tuesday. But since I already had an idea of what and how to do the takes, it did not take me re-film them. Overall I ended up not using any of the takes I had filmed on Saturday in my music video.

 Madelyn Argueta  AICE Media Studies Period 6  Hello everyone,   Today I started wrapping up the editing for my music video . The first thing I did today was crop some of my scenes because my music video was too long . Due to timing problems, I had to cut out a few parts of the Justin Bieber dancing scenes . The next scene s I had to crop were the escalator scene, the running scene, and some of the other outside scenes . By cropping, adjusting, and cutting these scenes it helped me decrease the length of my music video . Then I ended up having to download an app to download my music . After downloading the app to download my music, I proce eded to have issues with the audio . The first time downloading the song, the audio was inaudible . The second time the audio was barely audible . Then finally on my third try I got the music to be at a good volume . After I fixed everything with the audibility of the song, I had to adjust the song to my cli...

Madelyn Argueta AICE Media Studies Period 6 Hello everyone,   Although I have not begun filming, I have everything ready to begin the process of filming. I will begin filming  on Saturday October 21. I have decided to film on Saturday because the weather conditions are in my favor. Also, all the actors in the music video c an all come on Saturday. Additionally, if filming is not finished on Saturday, I will wrap up the last bits of filming on Monday October 23. On Saturday I plan on having the actors rehearse the scenes for about an hour before shooting. This will help the scenes go smoother and seem more natural. Then I will begin filming and film as much as I can before any issues arise such as weather conditions and timing issues. Prior to filming I have completed my storyboards for my music video. My storyboards were developed from the mood of the song’s lyrics and from my research of other similar songs from the same genre. By looking at the song's ly...
