Filming Blog Music Video,

 Filming Blog 

Over thanksgiving break I was complicating if I should film. Due to it being a holiday season, Jamaica curfew started earlier so if I was to go on the road and film, I might take awhile to come home. If you are caught out during curfew you have to pay a fine which was raised o $51 US dollars since it is the holiday time. My house was filled with family who stayed the week because we haven’t seen them at all during the two months we been here. My mom also took this break as an opportunity to bring us sight seeing in Jamaica since we didn’t have school. During break I came down with something. My throat was sore, nose was stuffy, and every time I talked I got a headache. I got tested for COVID since I was going to be around people and did not want to containment my family. This had been my fifth COVID test and it came back negative. Don’t worry all my COVID tests before this one were to get approved to travel and we kept having to go back and do a new one since somethings always went wrong. Whatever I had cleared up in a few days so I began to film the first half of my music video. It was hard to find the perfect day to do it because it was all about someone’s morning routine. Due to it being break, everyone slept in till the afternoon and by then it was too late to film the video. The video was not filmed until Sunday because that’s family day. On Sunday’s everyone has to wake up early to help other breakfast and dinner. The first half of my video included my guest being woken up by their alarm. After that they bush their teeth and go on their morning run. Finally, the first half of the video ends with them gettin ready for their day on the road. The next half of the video will be filmed tomorrow since I’m taking a trip to the Bamboo forest. Here’s a photo of the weather I had to deal with.

Planning for my Music Video

 For my props, I will be using a Jamaica dress with the Rasta colors on it. The Rasta colors are red, green, yellow, and black. A hairstyle that connects to the culture is locs which I will also be wearing. The community will be in the background but due to corona I will not be interacting with them as much. The last prop I plan to use is fruits that remind you of Jamaica. 5     In my commercial, I will have one main person to focus on. The muse will have on a dress with slippers which is common for the culture here to wear. The muse will have no makeup on to give off a natural and fresh look that compliments the laid back video. Finally, the muse will wear a necklace with the Rasta colors on it and other beach like necklaces. 4 The main location for the video will be in Montgomery Bay, Jamaica which has more of a tourist area so I can capture the locals. The locals are always on the road selling food or selling cute accessory’s. Like most regggae videos, they do a short ...

Music Video

  For this music video, I had to go through 30 minutes' worth of footage. For some of the footage, I realized slo-mo wasn't the best option for them because I had to end up speeding it up. When I sped them up, I added transitions to make sure it doesn't look choppy. When filming I made sure I had different camera angles and movements. In the beginning, I started with a birds-eye view by standing on top of the bed. My actor was sleeping and I was hoping to get the alarm ringing in the back of the music but it did not. Fast forward to the running shots this was to put in multiple angles and give off a calm vibe. Running is associated with having a good routine and being on track to wellness. The whole morning routine was to bring the audience along with me on my Jamaica morning routine during the lockdown. If there was no lockdown as stated in the song, you would've seen multiple people out enjoying the Jamaica sun every morning. (10) Next on the journey is the forest. Th...
