Playing a Part

Image
 So our filming session is finally done. As I stated before, both my groupmates agreed to the terms I have talked about. But they are planning to record more content on Thursday. They are trying to get more shots that relate to the research we did. The shot we are trying to recreate is the low-angle shot of the shoes while they're dancing. This shot was shown in only one of the videos we watched. But this shot was a shot that I really really liked. Something about it just piqued my interest. The rawness of the shot and how it was shown was something that stuck with me. From the results I got I'm overall happy with the outcome of these shots. The only downside to the recordings we have is the quality. The quality was shot on our phones and since it was shot on our phones. The shots were kinda choppy. Other than that I enjoyed what we have so far. Just going to wait for the reshoot so we can get better transition shots like off-angle shots and a side medium shot would be fine. Wa

Playing the Long Haul

 Just today I had the chance to talk to my groupmates about the music video. We made a compromise with one another. But I think it's for the best that we did this even if we won't all be in the music video.This is because I'm the only one that has a major scheduling problem and holding back the group. So I offered that I won't be in the music video. But will do the majority of the work for the editing. Mostly because I have the proper resources to do so. I have the most experience in the group and I feel comfortable doing it. I'm pretty much depending on my teammates to get the necessary shots, angles, and movement in the recordings. Since I'm not going to be there this, I have to fully trust them with this task. If they don't do the filming between the both of them, then we are going to be behind on a lot of tasks. I don't want for me and my teammates to be behind the class. For my part as of right now. I'm playing the waiting game for now so that I

Minor Setbacks

I missed one of the classes we had together. We planned on finalizing the filming last weekend but it was canceled. This is because one of my groupmates was injured. This has prevented us not properly filming the cause of the boot he has due to the injury. My other groupmate was busy with his work life. Working around the time in the afternoon has been a struggle for me and my groupmates. Chris has a recent injury due to a soccer game. Then me being busy during the weekends with stuff related to my local church. This is due to me helping out in the mornings at the church. That makes me out for the weekends in the mornings. As of right now. We have everything set up to get the filming done. But as of right now, the only thing that we currently have to do is to finalize the day we get the group together. To get the filming done I currently have a plan I want them to know. I wanna see if they like this plan as it's a plan that doesn't include me in the video. But I will be involve

 So now we are getting ready to plan to record our music video. We are picking a day for all of us to get together. As of now, we haven't found a reasonable date to record. The weather conditions haven't been on our side. It has either been raining or cold weather. Since our video is mainly going to be recorded outside. We have no choice, but to wait for ample conditions. We also have to figure out the props and costumes. We were going for an all-white pants and shirt combo. But we had to scratch that pants idea. Due to Christian breaking his ankle. He can't wear pants anymore with a cast. Besides that, we are working on what editing software to use. Daniel recently purchased Premiere Pro. Which is a fancy editing software. Even though he is not as familiar with the software. We all think that it's a better idea to use it. In the long run of finalizing the Music video. This whole process of picking a date to record has been stressful. None of us can seem to find a date
