Hey it's Aniyah, again! Today's blog is going to be interesting because film day number two was very interesting and filled with a lot of twists and turns. Initially, the video was supposed to be filled with beach props and we invited extra people to include in the video to make it more exciting. The plan did not go as expected because we depended on a lot of people to show up and bring some of the props we needed. But, the day we filmed was on a Sunday and usually people are busy with church. Which was one of the main reason why people come. We didn't get mad, because we totally understood and respected that reason. Other reasons why people couldn't come was because their parents didn't want them to come because they said it was too last minute and the some of parent did not know our parents. I was able to show up, but I came late because the beach we went to is far from where I live and I was busy with family business. I was still able to participate in the filming of our video, but I could not contribute as much as I would have liked to in the video because of my injury.
With my injury and my crutches I am limited to do certain things. I was not able to get in the sand with my crutches because that would have been a disaster. I filmed some of the shots from the sidewalk and Stephanie filmed the shots on the sand. I was watching Stephanie from a distance and from my perspective she was doing really well. She made sure the lighting went well with her angles and shots. I guided her through some parts to make sure we followed the storyboard correctly and to make sure we were timing everything correctly. I was not surprised on how well she was doing, because she did most of the filming for our commercial project and we executed all our angles and movements with great progress. Our pan shots were amazing, especially with the lighting complimenting our shots. We added extra things to the video, so that there could be more than expected. We added a shot of the seagulls, so we can add a background sound of birds to the video.
I suggested that they dramatically jump and dance into the water for the last scene. This was just another way to add to the theme of summer fun behind the song. Even though I was not able to fully participate, I still enjoyed being there and I am very impressed with our progress. I admire how despite the unexpected circumstances, we were able to push through and complete our work with great progress. A similar situation happened with our commercial project, where a lot of bumps in the road came up out of nowhere. But, as a group, we were able to overcome those situations and execute our work perfectly. I am grateful to have a determined, reliable, and cooperating group to work with because we are all determined to get our work done and we can all easily learn from each other and depend on each other. This has been another great working experience and I look forward to completing more great work with my group. Thanks for reading and blog you later!
