Production blog - Going to the Park


 Me and my friends all agreed to meet up after school in the park. We decided the park was the best since it was close, not too hot, and not too crowded. It was a school night so no one was really there except for one parent. The temperature was a big concern for us since we had to wear all black long sleeve shirts. However, when we went it was nice and chilly so it was way easier to film. We filmed using a iPhone 14 since it was the best phone we had and it was the most charged. While filming we got distracted a bit which made it take longer than it should have. I personally didn’t even charge my phone enough to be there for the 2 hours and I had to borrow my friends phone. We brought along two friends who aren’t related to the project so they could film for us. Each scene was filmed at least 3 times so we could prevent any mistakes. The hardest part while filming was actually just staying on topic instead of constantly getting distracted. Once we finished however, we were happy with the end result and decided on Daniel being the one to decide to edit with us helping. While we filmed we would have at least one other person watching the cameraman to prevent any stuttering. We also made sure none of us laughed during the scenes since it was supposed to be a semi-serious music video. If anyone laughed after the necessary time however, we would just cut it out later. The time between each scene was predetermined so we wouldn’t have to decide on the day of filming. The color scheme for the video would be black and white so lighting wouldn’t be a big issue for us. We failed to bring most of the props we wanted to bring. We did agree that on a later date we would do the “flashback” portions of the video. Scenes with the violin would be filmed later since the violin wasn’t able to be brought on the day of filming.

 As of today Me, Daniel, Jacob, and Myles will be working together for our music video. We will have to find good days to meet up since we don't exactly live near each other. We also have to manage our time, so we won't have to do everything last second. Together as a group we decided to do the song "Yesterday by The Beatles." It's a beautiful short song that represents as a general our types of music. It's also a older popular song so it's pretty easy to recognize. We decided to separate our work, so we don't all have to do stuff separately to save time. My friend Myles will be the cameraman since he has the best camera and prefers not to be in the video. Since The Beatles music videos are very chill and relaxing so will our music video recreation. Daniel will buy resources for us to use to make the music video higher quality. Jacob, Me, and Daniel will all be in the music video assigned to different roles. Depending on what we choose we will also hav...

Production Blog - Almost done

 We finally managed to finish all the scenes. We only had to redo three scenes that were only flashbacks. Together we only had to redo 2 scenes which were fairly easy to redo. I bought myself a guitar so I could film the tree scene better since the guitar I used before sucked. I bought a rental guitar for a day and just used it as a prop. I also changed my outfit since it didn't really match with anyone else. The editing was finished and wasn't that hard to do since we only needed to stitch everything together. My friend Daniel did most of the difficult editing and even then, it wasn't that hard. We made sure to double check everything to make sure nothing was bugged. For one scene we noticed a bit of an audio bug, but we just hid that with outside sounds. I also decided to cut out a scene that wasn't the right camera angle that we wanted. The camera made it a lot easier to film the scenes since there was no static. The only hard part about refilming was finding good da...

 Location of scene: Woods/Main Area     Daniel: I can't believe you guys made me come. You know I don't like anything resembling horror.     Mario: Don't be such a crybaby, it's just trees and animals. What's the worst that can happen?     Mario: Now come on, you and Jayden go find some sticks for the campfire.     Daniel: Umm- I guess so.     Location of scene: Deeper in woods     Jayden: Oh yeah, I probably should have mentioned this before we came along, but there's actually a rumor about this place.     Daniel: Excuse me? You're not serious are you? What's the rumor?     Jayden: I've heard there have been a lot of disappearances around these woods. Locals says there is some killer hanging his victim on trees. And that you can see the ghosts of the people buried here, haunting the area, making bizarre noises.     Daniel: What the heck is wrong with you guys bringing me to a place like this?...
