Surf Crazy Music Video and What I Learned.

Hi blog its Lily!! Today I'm going to be talking about what I learned thought out filming this second project, the music video! When we first heard we were going to be doing a music video we were ecstatic. Personally I love music and dancing so this was an awesome project for me. The first thing we needed to decide was what song and genre we wanted to do. We either wanted to do pop or hip-hop. Those were our favorite genres of music so we figured we might aswell enjoy the music while filming. We first chose Say My Name by Destinys Child because the group has 3 members and we 3 members. But we soon realized that that song wouldn't be the best choice because the location the music video took place in would be hard to replicate. In the end we decided on Surf Crazy from the movie Teen Beach Movie. This song is very energitic and fun so we loved it. We started planning and doing the storyboard. We decided for location to film at the beach because it made sense considering the entire movie was filmed at the beach. When it was time to film we headed to the beach. It ended up pouring rain so we barely got any shots but we tried our hardest to make the best out of the situation. Another problem was Anyiah our other group member had sprained her ankle so she wasn't allowed in the water. She ended up just filming us.We went another day and got all the footage we needed. While filming we created a quick dance to put more personality into the video. Overall the filming process took a while and many, many shots but in the end we got everything we needed. The editing process was probably the easiest for the music video out of all the other projects. We just put the title on the beginning, put the clips of footage together and finally, put in the music. What I learned from this project was make the best out a situation. We didn't think going to that beach that day it was gonna rain but we made the best out of it and ultimately had a bunch of fun!
