During editing, I decided to change the beginning to include a black and white intro while the colors faded. This was a change to reflect the dark nature of the upcoming video. Then I used Jason's laptop to incorporate the new parts I recorded. The ending is a mystery, not the actual ending of the story, so I decided to blacken everything for a few seconds. Overall, many secrets were discovered in our video when it was up to the viewer to decide what would happen.
Today was our last day of filming and everyone made it today. We filmed on 12/10/21 at my house after getting Ethan's mom to drop us off. After we got to my house, we dropped our stuff off and got started on recording. We only had 2 and a half scenes to create. We finished the 10th scene by eventually making the chasing scene end with Jason being chased at and me catching up to him. In the 11th scene, the chase continued until Jason couldn't go on anymore and looked back. This was the hardest scene because Ethan was behind Jason and we couldn't get the timing right for the entire scene. So the solution was I had to stand farther back while walking. Then we decided to let Sebastian get in the video just to have him do something. So for scene 12, we made Sebastian and I walk up to Jason while clenching my fists. This filming session took an hour to complete.
As in our previous project, jason was our editor. In our video he made it fade from black & white, then into color. The first couple of scenes were recording some scenery. They were cut together to show a varying amount of locations, about 3 seconds for each. When the sequence of scenery is done, I’ll probably be the one walking with the brief case. We did argue about it though, especially how it should be done. Chad was going to play a crucial part as our robber. With this set in motion we tried to wrap our heads around the editing and what we were planning to do. With this in mind our filming was set into motion.
We started to film on November 27th, and all of our group were here to help film. The place we filmed at was near Ethan's house on the streets. We went here first because for the first 3 scenes, it mostly consists entirely of walking between 2 people. Our costumes will be dark clothing consisting of long pants, and a jacket with a hoodie. Sebastian, Jason, Ethan, and Chad were all in the music video with Chad and Sebastian being the main characters and Jason and Ethan being background characters. In the first scene, it will start with a cinematic view of the city, which will be locations such as the cars driving on the road, various stores found in plazas, or nature found nearby. The second scene will switch from scenematic views to the story portion of the video. This scene follows Sebastian carrying a briefcase that Chad supplied him with. The camera will follow him around with the music, then it will cut to the 3rd scene showing Chad that was hiding behind the corner start to follow him. Everything was done correctly and this took only about an hour to make. If anything, it was hard acting as someone who is sad and emo for Chad, and coming out of the corner in a mysterious way proved challenging. Both Jason and Ethan served as the camera man and none of them had problems with shakiness.
This was definitely the hardest project thus far, and we had somewhat of a rough time but by the end we persevered, Personally i think disr...
