Rainy Day (Filming Blog)

 Today was our first day of filming. I was excited to finally be able to make the storyboard and our ideas come to life. The location was at my partner Adriana's house. We were supposed to start with the recording of my scenes first. Almost all of my scenes are supposed to talk place outside. But when I arrived it was raining outside, so like we wrote in our planning blog we rescheduled my scene s to be recorded on a different day. Then we just got prepared to film my partners scenes, because all of her scenes are recorded inside. When we started to record we were using my speaker to play the song, so that we could follow the lyrics. But my speaker died a couple scenes in so we had to play the music from my partners phone. Also we were having trouble finishing scenes because my partner kept laughing and breaking character. We then realized slowly while completing some scenes that our idea was hollow and had little structure. So we decided that we were going to stop filming scenes and revise our storyboard. This would be so that we can know what we really want our music video to look like and actually have a plan. My partner Adriana went over the storyboard to fix it. She moved a couple scenes around and also completely changed some scenes. After she did this she showed me the changes that she made. I'm glad we decided to change the storyboard when we did because we both were confused about the storyline headed into filming. Now we both had a clear picture of the story line. Which make the next time we film easier. But we did record some scenes so we can still use those clips in the finally version of the music video.
