Don't You Worry Child Music Video

 By writing this blog, it means that the music video of "Don't You Worry Child" is finally complete. Although this journey and process was very long, it was also a fun one that I would do again. With the time extension in this project allowing us to record 60 seconds rather than 30 seconds, it allowed me to be more creative and express what I truly wanted the music video to look like without a time restriction. Being able to have more time, it allowed me to do more in the film with the scenes. In this project I was able to add two locations instead of just one in the Commercial project, because I could explain what was happening in the two locations making sure that the storyline explained it. This was a big differenced because now it wouldn't look like the characters are jumping around locations but, rather having them in-sync with the story and the music video.  

Although this was fun to film it also made me face many challenges. One of the biggest ones encountered was timing the Scenes with the lyrics that corresponded with each other. This is because, in the beginning a scene would be ahead of the lyrics so, the music video would be off as the scene wouldn't match the song. To fix this I had to cut or add a few scenes so that it could match the song and make it look smooth. Because of this obstacle I had to go back to the filming process when I was editing the music video the first time. Even though this set me back a little, I was happy that it happened. The reason why I was happy was because not only did I learn a valuable lesson about on having the sound on when filming so, that I knew when to record but, also the set back made my music video better by adding much need scenes.

After having gone through everything I went through in this journey of creating a music video, I would say that I would do it all over again. The reason why I would do all this again even with the mistakes is because not only did my filming skill develop but, my editing skills developed dramatically. This was the first time I actually edited a film for a long time, having to check the scenes matching the song made me pay close attention to the length of the takes. While editing it was vital that I shortened and lengthen a scene to match the song as make it look smooth. Now knowing the things I know now, I would not make the same mistakes again and thats why I would do it all over again
. Learning from this means that next time it will be easier for me to make a film and not face the same challenges. Although I face difficult obstacles I haven't seen before, I really enjoyed making this music video and I am really happy with how it ended out.

Production blog: non-filming day

Image
As of right now, I have not started to film. The reason for not filming is because of the schedule created to make the making of the film run smoothing. Having just created the script, it would be to be rushed to start filming 2-3 days after. Filming this soon would not only leave the actors figuring out how they can perform a scene in the last minute but, also leave the acting in the film looking off or not the best. This can ultimately throw off the entire film as bad acting can make the film seem unfinished and off to the viewers making them not want to continue watching. Instead of leaving the film making rushed, I want to give the actors sometime with the script. Giving the actors time to read and take in the script will allow them to better understand the story and how they will portray it. This will not only boost their performance when acting out a scene but, it will allow them to test out different versions and add their own twist to make the characters their own. Adding more ...

Planning for the final task: location, health, schedule and more

Image
  Schedule: 3/1/21- 3/2/21:   Actors will revive script and storyboard. This will give the actors time to take in the film and understand what they will do and prepare for their roles. During this time the actors will be able to ask any questions about the film and eliminate any confusion before filming. 3/3/21 All props and costumes will be gathered in order to prepare for filming to begin. This will help as it wouldn't leave me in a rush at the end to get the supplies I need while making sure that I have them without risking a store not having it in stock. 3/4/21- 3/22/21:   The first set of filming will take place. During this time I will record all takes of the scenes with different angles. This will then allow me to review what I like and didn't like in the following days. 3/23/21- 3/24/21:   The first part of editing will take place. In these days I will review all the takes closely and make sure that I have scenes that I want keep and others that I might have...
