Music Video Filming Blog

In the past week, my partner and I filmed, and edited our music video. Though there may be some minor edits that still need to be done, for the most part , our video is completed, I would say. My brother helped film a part of the video, when it comes to outside help.

For our filming locations, the first we filmed at was Little Thrift Store, where the owners were exceedingly generous. We were filming a video to their favorite song “Thrift Shop” and ironically enough, in their thrift store they wanted to be as helpful as possible. One of the store owners named Joe, gave me soothing to wear and also agreed to pushing me in a shopping cart.  A kind gesture for someone whom I had just met. We filmed there for 2 days. The first being pretty difficult for certain parts, though when we recruited our brother for a certain part( cut from one person to another behind a shoe rack) it became way easier to pull off.

At Goodwill, we had previously thought were would be denied permission to film at the store though, upon entering the store with our equipment it did not seem as they cared. Filming in there was pretty
Easy. However, there were allot of people who couldn’t seem to keep their eyes off of us.

In editing, finding the right time to end the video was problematic, as it didn’t seem that we had enough footage to stretch past the time barrier. Thankfully we managed, not to mention, the editing that we did being pretty rudimentary, and not needing much to be done expect for a couple of jump cuts back and forth from two different places. It was really how the camera captured our shots that made the video.

All in all, we are proud of this video, especially since we used our own personal cameras to film bringing better quality.
