filming blog for Music Video




Talking about our film was our main priority when the film date came out. Our ideas were different and we especially had different ways of having a successful film day. When we first arrived at the park we discussed a lot of things surrounding how we wanted to successfully record our video. We made sure we were all on the same page and happy with the plan. This made sure we wouldn't end up arguing and wasting time. I ended up deciding to just try and record everything we did so we wouldn't miss anything. We all at one point shot something though, so each of us could be in the video at one point. This worked in our favor since we did get a lot of different clips and angles throughout the day. By angling my phone and using different affects I was able to successfully capture almost everything we did that morning. I made sure my phone was fully charged and I put on a protective case incase it fell or broke at any time. To make sure we were safe while recording I brought wipes and extra masks so we could clean our hands. This helped me feel safer while being out in the pandemic. Especially because the play ground got crowded towards the end. When filming I made sure I incorporated all sorts of different camera angles. My teammates also contributed to this and gave angles to do. Angles such as low, high, and pan shots/angles were used. Even though we added more angles and shots some of them ended up not going into the conclusion of the film. This was mostly because we couldn't fit all of the different clips in the 1 minute video. I even made sure to incorporate two shots in some parts. Everyone contributed fairly into the filming process and their ideas helped the process come along smoothly.

 This blog will go over our first filming day which was on March 7th. To start off the morning i had to get up at 8:30 so i could reach Kerens house by 10 o'clock. Even with this extremely early wakeup call though i still arrived 20 minutes late. Upon arrival i realized that only me and Eric were the only ones who arrived, Mya was missing. Mya let us know that our amazon package didn't arrive at our house yet, and we needed it to film since it had our camera lenses. She said if it wasn't there soon she would start driving around to different stores in hope of finding one similar. After an hour of prepping to film with Mya still not arriving Kerens mom decided that Mya should just start coming over to the house while we drive two minutes away to the Best Buy to see if it was there. While it wasn't there we did find something similar we could use and decided that dividing the bill three ways was just something we would have to end up doing. By the time Mya arrived we had ...

  1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? My commercial challenged conventions by exaggerating them throughout the video. Things such as theme, characters, plotlines, and mood are all used to help make a fun and family friendly atmosphere commercial. For example, including clips of my dog at the different points of the day gave the commercial a more home vlog vibe, which is what a lot of families like to do. My video helps to talk mostly animal lovers and families. It also addresses issues about finding the perfect dog collar, one that won't irritate her or other animals.   2. How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text? My product engages with the audience by talking directly to them throughout the entire video. This is shown by me putting words on the screen each time a new clip started. And using words such as “your” so the person knows I'm talking directl...
