 Counting Stars by OneRepublic When I started filming the scenes at my house, I started with the scenes in my bedroom. I positioned the camera above my head so that it would face down on me. I had to take multiple shots because my brother kept walking in and making me laugh. After my brother left the room, I did two takes for the scene and chose the better one to use in my video. In this scene I used a medium close-up shot. Then I went into my backyard to film the scenes there. The first scene in my backyard was shorter that the second scene. I took two takes for each scene in the backyard as well. In the first scene in my backyard, I used a dutch shot. For the second scene, I used a wide shot and zoomed in on me. After I finished filming these scenes, I waited for the sky to get dark.  When the sky got dark, I went to my front yard and filmed the final scene. At first it was too dark to see me, so I moved to another spot. Since it was also too dark there I moved again. In the...

Production Blog: Getting Started

Counting Stars by OneRepublic The first thing I did to start making my video was review my storyboard to see if I should change anything in it. I decided not to change anything in the storyboard for now. After that I finalized my locations and decided where I would put the camera to film each scene. Another thing I did was decide what costumes and props I wanted to use for each scene. Then I started filming my video. I did the first and third scenes with me lying in my bed looking up at the ceiling singing the first lyric of the song. In these scenes I will be using a medium close-up shot to show me. I didn't use any props and since I was under my blanket you can't see any costumes in these scenes. Because of this there is no point in listing the costumes and props for those scenes. In order to get a good shot, the person filming needed to be standing over me so that the camera was above my head. For the second and tenth scenes I went out to my backyard and decided to use a bas...

Planning for My Music Video

Image
Counting Stars by One Republic Costumes:  I will wear regular every day clothes in the video. If I decide to cutaway between two scenes, then I'll have two different outfits. Location:  I'm going to have a few different locations. I will use my house - both outside and in a bedroom or on a couch. I will also film some of the singing in a local park. Schedule:  I'm going to start filming on October 14, so that I can have some of the scenes done that weekend. I will also film the following weekend. If necessary, I will do some filming after school during the week of October 16. I plan to finish filming on October 24 when we do not have school. Props:  I'm not sure if I'm going to use any props. I'll think about this when I do the storyboard and when I'm shooting the video. Backup plan:  If for some reason I can't do something when I have planned to, or I can't use a certain location, then I will find another time or location to film.
