Filming Blog: Rainy Day

          In todays blog I'll be talking about our filming process at the beach. Our music video is to the song Surf Crazy from Teen Beach Movie and our location was at hollywood beach. Unluckily for us today's forecast was rainy and cloudy. We didn't really know what to do in this situation. Even though we had a backup plan, which was the pool, it just wasn't gonna work out. First of all none of us own a pool and the persons we were suppose to use wasn't avalible for today. So in the end we jsut decided to go with it. One of the good things about today was, the actors. The actors in our video were our friends eli and agustin. Their both also in Aice Media Studies but in different periods then us. We picked them becuase they know how to work the cameras and already have experiences with filming.

         Before we got to the beach we all carpooled and still went even knowing it was gonna rain. When we got there it wasnt raining at first, which was good, because it gave us some time to get a couple good shots in before everything went chaotic. We went along with the storyboard and we did the first few shots. One thing we had to change though was, Anyiah couldn't go in the water because of her ankle. So we had to chnage a couple of the shots around. When it started raning the first thing we did was put the equiptment underneath and onto a dry area to keep it safe and protected. So we then tried to figure out what we were doing to do next. 

          We ended up putting an umbrella over the camera and towels around the sides while our friends were filming us. Were assuming that this didn't make the best shots but we did what we had to do to get footage. Also since our class didn't have any tripods we always had to hold the camera which may have resulted in some shaky shots. After this the rain kinda calmed down so =it was easier to film. Our clothing got soaked but in my opinon i believe that just puts more character and personality into our music video. But today was a really fun day of unexpected turns, filming, and just a fun day with our friends.
