Filming Blog Beach (Music Video)

I made the list of where to film when to film, what to film in and who to film. So far, we have only filmed for about one day and only covered three to four scenes, which is quite a bit of progress. All of the scenes were shot in Young Circle Park, Hollywood, FL. The costumes were regular attire; the lighting was particularly bright, as we were out in the afternoon; the number of actors present was three; there was no makeup required for the scenes; as well as no props required; and the setting was a peaceful, bright grassy field relatively peaceful to the surrounding hectic city. Overall, the scene was not exactly disturbed nor was a lot of footage reshot due to pedestrians or strangers, meaning the filming went pretty smoothly.
First, I had let the actors know what time we will approximately film. The time of day is very important as it is the primary source for our lighting and sets the mood for the video. Since we were filming the relative later parts, most of the lighting was bright and complimented the actor and its surroundings rather than contrast with it. Of course, the lighting does not always portray the same in the film so I decided to put it at the most ideal angle to capture and reflect the light. Additionally, I've allowed the actors to have a certain choice over what happens, based on the various options I present to them. So, the actors get to choose whichever option as long as it does not jeopardize anything nor does it seem possible to do so. The scenes that were being taken seemed quite safe, as there was no real danger being caused nor any actual people provoked. All of the scenes had to do with love, recognizing self-assurance and peace. Also, elements that were traditionally used in Selena Gomez's song Who Says. The scenes filmed were very fast yet still, effectively, got the message across.
Honestly, after filming so much, the set up has just become quicker each time. From the camera to the tripod, it has become very easy to set up all the equipment. Also after we were done filming, I created a schedule roughly for the next week or so for filming. The schedule includes such as what time we have to meet/ where, what clothes to bring, if makeup is required or not, and even the type of emotions being conveyed within the scenes being shot. I have decided that this system of operations was much more elaborate than the last one as the actors expressed their confusion through the first scene's directions and requirements. I knew that even though the only other places need to be shot, which is the beach and bathroom/ bedroom scenes, that reshooting the scenes will also be needed at the end of filming; which means, I had to shorten the number of days of the actual filming into days of reshooting film since multiple takes would be required for a perfect goal. The next day we are supposed to film is November 26th, however, it is not permanent. That day, I hope to film all of the beach scenes as South Florida will be in warm temperatures then, around 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit. The beach scenes are the lowest amount of scenes, so with that out of the way, I hope there are the lowest or no disruptions to the film.
