Filming Blog 2

This past weekend my group decided to film our music video. I left town on Saturday to play a game for my soccer team in Orlando without knowing anything. We went on a 1 day trip but my parents decided to stay there since the next day was a Sunday and I had no school. At around 10pm on Saturday one of the members in my group decided they wanted to film on Sunday since he had nothing else to do. Everyone agreed on filming except for me since I was out of town and could not possibly make it there in time.They decided to film the parts that I wasn’t going to be on on Sunday and next weekend we will film my parts since they are not many because I’m not the main character. They started filming at about 4pm and ended at about 7pm. I kept in touch with them and after the were done I was sent some pictures and footage of the video. Everything looked really good since Camilo’s phone camera quality is really good and he is an awesome cameraman.

They first started filming at a park. We invited two of our friends that are not in our class to be part of the filming and they accepted it. They were part of the the scene where we play soccer in a park. The scene came out to be really good and in my opinion it was the best one. We also filmed at a bridge where one of our group members jumped into the lake. We made sure that the place was safe before we filmed the scene and they also had an adult with them in case anything wrong would happen. The scenes that we didn’t film yet are the scenes on the car, beach and the house. I’ll be part of the scene at the beach and in the car. They are really simple scenes and hopefully we will be able to get them done by this week since we have a long break with no school. For now everything is going according to our plan.

We plan on filming the rest of our music video on Wednesday, November 27th. Our plan is to go to Camilo’s house and film there the whole day. Camilo lives close to the beach so we will be able to film all 3 scenes in one location. We are buying candles and fireworks to film at the beach. In one of the scenes we will try to act like it is 4th of July so we need some fireworks. We made sure that one of Camilo’s family members will be there so they can assist us with the fireworks since they are dangerous. I believe that we are doing a really good job on our project so far. Our scenes are coming out exactly the way we want them to be. We are far in front of some groups and we will be one of the first ones to finish filming. The timing is really good, because if something goes wrong our we can’t do something, we can change plans and think about what we should do next since we have plenty of time until everything is due. I really enjoy working on this project, and I’m very excited to film again. Hopefully nothing will go wrong and we can finish up our filming process as soon as possible.
