Permission for shooting

Gloria Jeans Cafe is the location where major scenes of the music video are to be shot. Since it is a private business, it was important to take permission for shooting to prevent any complications afterward (during the actual production). Thereafter, I sent an email to them, asking for permission to shoot.


The next day I went to Gloria Jeans to ask the manager as well. He didn't allow us to shoot inside the cafe, however, we were allowed to film scenes in the area outside the cafe where tables and chairs had been set. Due to the sudden change in plans, I had to change some of the scenes that were originally included in the storyboard. Rather than shooting indoor, now all those scenes are supposed to be shot outdoor. Moreover, the scene in which the girl (Aroob) asks the manager about her purse had to be changed to Aroob asking another customer (who had been seated in front of her) about her purse.

Media Assessement

In this video, we went full swing on editing and mise-en-scene.  Action-Match and short takes prevented the video from being boring due to the limited camera angles and movements. Animation, adding layers of lower opacity, black and white tint effect, reverse and repeat effect made the music video look more interesting. Write-on and flash effects were used to introduce the title in an innovative way.  We used two studio lights, positioned at 45 degrees from the centre, with translucent white and red filters. A third light was used to form a rim of light behind the actress.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rfe_siD6IE

Shooting (Day 1)

Yesterday I made a list in which I organized all the scenes to be filmed according to different days. Today and tomorrow's scenes mostly included the stabilizer shots so that I could be done with using the stabilizer and return it back to the school's media lab (because other groups would want to use it as well). The numbers written in the list are the same as the numbers I wrote with the scenes drawn in the rough storyboard. After today's shoot, I ticked the scenes that were successfully filmed so that I could complete the ones that were left tomorrow. Yesterday I also made a list of all the props and people required for today's shot and messaged my actors accordingly.  I had informed my actors to arrive at 8am. This was important since today's shots were taken in a public park and an area surrounded by restaurants and cafes where it gets crowded after 11am. I stabilized the stabilizer before the actors arrived. I filmed those shots first that re...
