Last week was the beginning of Thanksgiving break. Besides relaxing and having fun I also worked. Over the break, I filmed the music video. I put it off until Saturday because I was busy. So on Saturday, I went out with my father to go to different locations. However, we first went to Miami because he had to see someone there. So we actually started filming around 4. Although I did get some shots in Miami on the docks. I'm not sure I'll use them in the music video though. The first location we started filming at were some train tracks.
While here we had to take some precautions. There were the obvious dangers of loitering on a train track. So we made sure to stay mobile. While on the tracks we filmed multiple different shots. We filmed many of the same shots to get them right. We also filmed shots using different techniques. For the second location, we went to a self-storage building. We filmed most of the videos here. We only filmed one actor, me. since I already discussed the theme of the music video in the storyboard I won't need to elaborate on it here.
I feel that filming was a great experience. It gave me plenty of insight into the film making process. Obviously, it doesn't give me the whole picture of a production with over 200 people onboard. But it does give me an idea of what goes on. It also makes me aware of the planning and scheduling I need to think about on future projects. I need to make sure not to procrastinate too. When actually filming it is also important to think about another thing. It is better to take plenty of different shots just in case. I would often think I need to get this one thing perfectly. Overall the process of filming and completing it took a wait off my shoulders.
