Starting to Put the Entire Thing Together

Today we started to film our music video. I was so excited to begin filming because that was my favorite part of the commercial that I filmed previously. We decided to film the scenes by location to make it easiest for us to get it done in a timely manner. I began by getting together all of our props and putting them it the right locations for our scenes. I had to substitute a prop when the item was broken and not able to be put on camera so I used a paddle to support it. After that, I changed my clothes into something that would go well with the theme of our song that is more upbeat and outgoing. After that my partner filmed while I was acting in the shots. After filming some of our scenes, I then cleaned up our props and made our filming area how it was before we set up everything. I then decided to grab extra props that we did not originally think of for the rest of the scenes that I felt would be beneficial to the music video. Then we all headed to our next location to start filming other scenes there.  After we arrived there I started to grab our props and decided to start setting them up. After I set up the props for some of the other scenes, many more people arrived at our filming location of the park and we noticed that it was too much noise and distraction to be able to film. I then decided to take all of our props down and head back to the car. In the car we talked about what we could do to better maximize the next filming day we have because a lot more work was needed due to not being able to film today. I felt more stressed as the other days we wanted to film the weather did not look the best. Not filming added a lot of stress to our next day of filming so I felt it was important to plan that entire day out. After we planned the next day of filming we went back to review the clips that were already shot that day and decided which ones may have needed to be filmed again and which ones were ready for edit. I gave my input on the shots and felt that they were all ready for editing because we took multiple takes of each shot so I felt that we had some good takes and some takes that did not needed to be used. I then asked my partner which days would be best to continue filming and we then planned our next day for filming. I then gave input on what we will do the next fill-in day to stop a situation like this from occurring again and that plan I hope goes well when we film next.

Our Oddball Day to Filming

Image
Today was the first day that I planned to film. It started off according to plan where I met the people that I would be filming with at their house to pick them up and get ready to film. We then headed back to my house to gather all of the supplies needed for the film. I then checked the weather forcast and saw that it was supposed to rain in two hours. Which gave us just enough time to start filming at one of the locations. I thougth we would have time and then it would start raining and it would all be okay. But, as we headed to the filming location it started to rain super badly. But, because of where I live you can usually wait 15 minutes and it will go away. But, today it was not showing any signs of slowing down and it qctually got worse. So, after sometime waiting at the filming location and seeing it begin to flood we had to decide what to do. Some said we should just wait it out some more and some decided that we shoul leave. So, we decided to then leave and go home. When we g...

The Start of a New Chapter

Hi there, my name is Aaron Shaffer and I am a student at Fort Lauderdale High School. I am 16 years old and in my third year of high school. Over the years, through the opportunities I have been able to receive, I have been able to achieve a lot academically. One of those achievements was being able to be a part of the Cambridge program at Fort Lauderdale High School which has allowed me to take multiple college level classes that are allowing me to receive credits, scholarships, and more that I would not have been able to receive otherwise. A little bit about my backstory is that I was born in Fort Lauderdale and have spent all of my life here. I find it a great place to live and enjoy the things that it allows me to do. Having access to so many different activities has allowed me to have many memories made with my friends. Things such as going on jet skis, boats, water skiing and more are things that I could not do in many other places year-round. When I am not out on the waters, som...
