Finally Filming 🙌

 During my Thanksgiving break I was able to actually start filming with the camera and tripod. I made sure to finish all my filming on Wednesday, November 27 so that I wouldn't have to film in the last minute and so that I can rest up during the break. Filming was stressful but extremely fun. The only stressful part of the filming process was messing up on the dances and having to redo the whole scene again. On Monday, November 25, I sent out the dance video I made to my friend Allison so that she would familiarize with the dance and I showed the dance to my sister so she would be prepared as well. On Wednesday I went to my synagogue's apartment with my friends and sister since the location of the video was changed to film outside in the open field with trees and bushes that the apartment provides. At first we practiced the dance inside the apartment the full dance and decided to film the music video into 4 segments to make it easier on us. While practicing we changed up some dance moves and finalized what we were going to do in each segment. Once we finished practicing we changed into our costumes and headed our way outside to set up the camera and tripod. My friend Rahel worked the camera and was doing all the camera movements and making sure we were in frame. She did such an amazing job and we had so much fun filming and spending quality time with each other. Although we had rough patches during filming we managed to get everything done.
   We spent about 2 and half hours outside filming the scenes I needed for the music video. I was able to get all the scenes and it came out perfect. While we were outside on a little box we placed my phone playing the song in the background so we knew what to do for each segment we filmed. Since the filming process took a lot of our time and exhausted us we slowly started to become irritated with each other if one of us messed up. Overall we had a fun time together my friend Allison texted me the next day thanking me for allowing her to be a part of my music video. After filming we were treated to pizza for our hard work. Since we were standing and dancing for almost 2 and a half hours outside we were extremely exhausted and sweaty when we went back inside the apartment. What I decided to cut out from my music video and the storyboard was the shots of the trees and flowers because after recording and re-watching the scenes I didn't think it was necessary anymore to be in my music video. The background in the scenes will provide a bright and nature theme to my music video. Once all our filming was complete we were jumping up and down clapping, happy that we finally finished.
