Filming at the beach

I felt frustrated after we were not able to film the day we planned. I Was well prepared to film, but the weather got in the way. Fortunately, I used most of my time during the bad weather to become more prepared for when filmed. This would result in me being more prepared for the next time my group and I filmed. I joined a group call with my group members and we talked about the days it was possible for all of us to film. We talked about many different days then finally decided on the most convenient day for all of my group members, including myself. The day that we decided finally arrived and I was prepared and excited to film. I collected all of the crops and made sure that we had all of them in place. I also made sure that the camera was in a place that was safe and that the battery was fully charged. I made sure the tripod was in its bag and safely secured so that the tripod wouldn’t get stolen or damaged.
          After lots of preparation, my group and I were prepared and ready to film. I arrived at the planned location which is known as the beach. My group and I got together and searched for the perfect background setting on the beach to film out music commercial. We started to film our first shot which was close to the water with a beautiful background. We were able to get many great shots of the actors performing in unison with our selected song. We played the music out loud while filming so when we start editing, the song would match perfectly to the actor's lips. The next scene we filmed was next to a lifeguard station. We asked permission from the lifeguard before we started to film around and on the lifeguard tower. After asking permission from the lifeguard, he told us that we were more than welcome to film on the tower but we just had to be careful. We filmed this shot around the lifeguard tower to signify the change in location from the previous shot which was around the ocean.
          I made sure that we filmed each scene more than once just in case there was an error in our footage. The next scene that was filmed was by a pier. Filming by the pier exposed the natural beauty of the setting that we chose to film at. In the next scene, we tried to get some close-up shots of smooth and clear water. This shot is going to allow us to fulfill a deeper meaning to our music video. The next scene that was filmed was in and around a car. This scene showed the style of the actor singing and changed the mood of the music video as the “celebrity” was introduced. The last scene that was filmed was all of my group members including myself, in a beautiful setting which included the sun as it was setting. This scene was very important as it presented a very joyful and happy ending to our music video. It scene also included a very important message and the theme of the overall music video which allows the audience to interpret a better understanding and connection to the film.
