Behind the Scenes

BTS #1: THIS IS WHEN WE SHOOT FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE TRIED TO IMITATE A SCENE WHERE A GROUP OF TEENAGER IS STROLLING AROUND A MALL CREATING MEMORIES, WALKING AIMLESSLY. THIS IS OUR INITIAL IDEA FOR OUR SCENES AND IT IS OPEN FOR AN IMPROVEMENT. 

BTS #2: THIS IS WHEN WE RESHOOT SOME SCENES AS WHAT OUR TEACHER ADVICED TO. THIS RESHOOT CAN ALSO ENRICH OUR STOCKSHOOT CLIPS AND SCENES INCASE SOME CHANGES ARE NECESSARY TO BE MADE IN THE MIDDLE OF EDITING. THE CONCEPT OF BESTFRIENDS STROLLING THE MALL STAYS THE SAME, BUT THERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES IN THE PROCESS, SUCH AS ARCADE.

Problems and The Solutions

• Rain at the beach
• Solution: Rather than waiting for the rain and run out of time, instead, we shoot indoors in the basement parking lot of Living World Mall
• No permission to shoot in Living World Mall Basement
• Solution: we switch to another alternatives and we decide to shoot in our friend's neighborhood.
• Dark Video Clip
• Solution: We find position with better lighting.
• Solution 2: We borrowed our friend's motorcycle for its headlights
• Late for sunrise shooting
• Solution: We decide to reschedule the day.
• Limited cameraman to shoot the whole group (only one cameraman, Nathan)
• Solution: We use tripod to shoot the whole band.

Self Reflections: This behind the scenes is useful for us to reflect on our mistakes that we encounter during our shooting processes as well as how are we as a team resolves it and then prevent it from taking our time. The pictures above might gives you some illustration on how our recording process is going on behind the music video scenes. It highlights how we set up the places, camera, and the actor's position during the recording.
