Music Video Journey

    My personal journey for this whole project has been great so far. Even though it’s only halfway completed, I feel that a lot has been done. Everything has been fairly simple. Like helping choose the song. I originally wanted to do a different song but all of the songs I listen to aren’t that appropriate so, we agreed on “Walking On Sunshine”. I agreed because, there was a happy feel to it. After that the location for filming was chosen, which was Hagen Park. I agreed to film at Hagen because it’s closer to the school. It’s proximity made it easier to fit filming in my after school schedule. All that was left was to start shooting the music video.

We arrived at the park I had to quickly change into the clothes I was going to wear in the video. But filming was delayed due to a malfunction in Safia’s wardrobe. With the limited time we had we still managed. When we first started, I had to sit on the bench and wait for Carla to come show us the song. After that, I had to grab Safia’s hand so the choreography could start. Originally, I was messing up on the dance because I was going too slow and looking at Carla for assurance. I eventually picked up my pace and we were able to get a few good shots. The choice on shooting dates were really though. It was sunny and late in the afternoon so, the camera captured everyone very nicely. This project wasn’t that hard, filming was actually very fun.

As we finished up filming, time was the main problem. The park is right by the school so I had walk back to school. The after school activity bus was my only way of transportation home that day. I  left the park at about 4:40 and the bus usually leaves at 5 o’clock. But I managed to make it on my bus in time. I wasn’t there today in class, but I was told that they were importing all the footage that was on the camera and on Carlas phone. There was footage on her phone because, in the middle of filming the camera died. I wasn’t there to see it but I’m sure we got some great footage after seeing most of it that day of filming. Tomorrow at the pier of Fort Lauderdale beach, will be our last day of filming. I’m positive that we’re are going to get a lot of stuff done.
