Despite the title of this blog, there was no filming done this weekend. When we were in school on Thursday, we planned on filming on the weekend. We were going to meet up at lauderdale by the sea’s beach and then film there. This was because they had the perfect scenery we imagined for our video. However, once it became Friday, we had some trouble on planning what time we should all to to the beach to film, because everyone in our group had different things they were doing. Andrew has to go to work on Saturday, so if we did it then he wouldn’t be there. Adriana was supposed to bring her two friends because they are the ones staring in our project. This was just more people to match our schedules with, which made it more difficult. And then Ben, the only flexible person, can go whenever. That’s on the bright side, i’m able to go pretty much whenever as well.
Right now i’m slightly worried about how our music video is going to come out because we can’t seem to find the right date for everyone to meet up together. This could make us have to revert to another plan. The problem is, our storyboard is planned by having two people meet with each other and we show a romance kind-of story. Because we can’t find a guy to participate in our video seriously, we might have to do a lesbian romance instead. This is actually fine because we can use that to make an even better background story, maybe involving homophobic parents. We could show off the hardships that gay people have to go though in this country. Weird stares from around, unable to show public displays of affection, etc. We could use the song to portray an even deeper meaning if this is what we decide to do. However, this would make the video more difficult which means we would have to probably film more than once. This creates the same problem because then we would have to find not one but two dates that all of us could meet up together.
I may try to find anyone that could be in our video to make it more similar to our original plan just so we already have it organized and planned out. Our video is going to be a slight story but also have a very aesthetic look to it. We are going to try to match the mood of the video to the song, taking shifts and different beats into account. The song we chose, sunset lover, has a beat that could sway either sad to happy, so we can really play around with it and do what we think looks best. For some of the video, I might try to get some clips on a sunrise to put at the beginning to set the mood on the beach vid. We are going to have multiple small clips to put together an aesthetic story to hopefully impress whoever watches it. I really hope that our video ends up turning out good because not only do I want a good grade but I just want to be able to watch our video at the end and be like, wow we did really good. We are doing something different than most, so I hope we can make it something none of the teachers have seen yet.
