 Welcome back glad you could come back and join our ending stride. This weekend we made the homestretch. I finished filming. It's as plain and simple as that we have officially finished filming. We have yet to check over the footage but made quality takes this weekend. Spots all round the city for our best day of our lives. We didn't make it into a project type filming time, we put effort and fun into our videos. I got great quality and perfect shots to match the beats and rhythm of our video. It syncs perfect. I feel like it doesn't seem like a kid produced video it is professional and I love that. I used props and scenary to escalate our production. Our journey has changed significantly. We were planning on totally different outcomes and ways to even film in the first place. We now have great cameras good lighting good movement shots. We have the appearance down. I've learned even more about filming in this project. From begining to end has been a rollercoaster of lea...

Beauty of progress

Welcome back to our beautiful project progression. Today we have done some extensive filming at mutliple scenes. I went wakeboarding with David to get good water shots for the video. It signifies a cool great day just like we want it to be. I looked into cool editing tricks for moving videos. Found plenty of cool things to do after we finish filming. But, other than that not much going on until I film with my team this weekend. My editing journey has been progressing and here is how its gone.   I undertook the journey of learning to edit my music video, and it was challenging but rewarding. As I dove into video editing, I became very entertained by using editing software, exploring its various tools and functions. Experimentation with transitions, effects, and color grading became a huge factor is my video. Maintaining consistency in the video's style and mood was a priority, and I learned to sync the visuals with the music, ensuring that every beat and lyric matched nicely. This p...

Path to perfection

 My current engagement in the production of my music video has been strong recently. The journey has been given time and effort from me and I hope its paying off. However, like many creative projects, I've faced several bumps along the way. Unpredictable weather conditions threw a wrench into our outdoor shooting plans, requiring us to adapt on the spot to these unexpected challenges. To keep the project on track, I had to redo the shooting schedule, make backup plans with group, and finally rework our plan. Ive still been quite researched. We adapted by shifting our focus to shooting some scenes indoors, making the most of controlled environments. Achieving the right lighting setup became a critical aspect of the indoor shoots.Like in the grocery store a scene of our video had good lighting. A significant part of the process involved coordinating with the talented actors of my group mates, we discussed how each of us would role our scenes. Naturally, we encountered a few audio p...

In the making

 Welcome back to my production in our music video project! These last few days have been a workload I have been researching how my group can work with this cold weather. I would still like to see cool views and a nice summer vibe. But, with this weather I may have to find an alternative. My original idea was beach, jetskies, and sunny days. Well right about now those aren't looking good. Outside it feels like a winter snowy day with snowboarding and snowball fights. Our song I chose for a reason to feel like an upbeat and great summer day story. I will find a way to work around it and keep my original idea. It felt fun outgoing and a cool production. It still will of course be one but, I have researched alternative ways. I think we should still stick with our theme. Sure waters cold suns not baking out. But the main goal is to have the "best day of my life." Smiles, sunsets, fun, and sun. A great theme for this song. I want cinematic and beautiful for a song perfectly cho...

Journey in our production

 Welcome back to our beauitful blog. We have previously gave our storyboard on a sort of layed out simplified way of how are project will go. We gave 12 slides/boxes that each have a scene in it. Under we described what is going on and why its significant. This gives you guys good insight and my group great insight for how we will run the show. I personally have been very into and interested in our music video as iv'e researched well when we picked our songs and I have communicated well with my partners. We have already discussed scenes and props we will use in filming. Me and my group are already excited to get a head start on this music video. To me this is an important project it highlights our first music focussed video shoot where we will make a music video instead of more about our lives. I like the scenary aspect of what my group is doing and the ideas I have put together to accelerate our project. I took quite a bit of time looking for our song. Which sounds over doing it b...

  Song Title  Central to every music video is the song. The heartbeat that gives life to the visuals. "Best Day of My Life" by American Authors is our muse, with the optimistic energy, and upbeat spirit. The song, which acts as a testament to seizing the day and making the most out of life's adventures, serves as our guiding star in this journey. Props Props can be the make or break of a music video, enhancing the storyline and amplifying the video's narrative. Drawing from the upbeat vibes of "Best Day of My Life", we plan on recreating "the perfect day". We plan on doing this by using props such as a phone, to represent getting text by your friend to hang out, a jet-ski to represent hanging out with that friend, and weights like dumbbells' and barbells to show us working out with that friend. All of these props are going to be used and aligned with the song to portray a "perfect day/weekend" with friends. Costumes Dressing the part ...
