My partner Kaitlyn and I finished filming the first day we filmed. However, when we were rereading the rubric in class, we noticed that we didn't include a pan. We decided to redo the first clip of me putting on lipstick. We thought of this because our music video ends with a tilt. We also did not want to check out a camera for one clip because the filming process would only take about 3-10 minutes. This would have been unfair to all the other groups that still needed to film. Therefore, I used my phone camera. Kaitlyn did not come over because it was only one shot. Because of this, I had to film myself. I only did the scene 2 or 3 times until I decided that it looked good.
Overall, it was pretty challenging. I couldn't zoom in on my front camera, so I had to flip my phone the other way. Luckily, I was standing in front of a mirror. Therefore, I could look at the reflection of the phone. I pointed the phone to the left of me. Then when it began to film, I slowly moved it to the right. I stopped when the camera got to me. Then I did the scene according to plan, and stopped recording. I left a few seconds at the end of the scene when I stopped recording, but I can cut that part out. I did a few takes, and Kaitlyn and I will decide on a shot during the editing process.
Other than that, I didn't film. However, we did discuss some editing things. We talked about what type of transitions we would use. We decided not to do the phone scene before the music. This scene would've been one of the characters texting the other person,"I can't wait to see you." Or something along those lines. Kaitlyn and I are proud that we finished filming, but we enjoyed the process. During the filming process, we were very focused and therefore finished filming in a timely manner. We also started editing since we finished filming. That way we can take more time to work on the details and try different things.
