Planning Blog


When it comes to shooting my music video, there are many thing that I need to plan for. The first and most important thing I need to plan for is my song. As stated in previous blogs, I will be using the song 'Centerfield' by John Fogerty.  As mentioned in my Research Blog, the song is under the genre 'American rock and roll', and is baseball themed. Being that the song is baseball themed, brings up the next very important thing to plan for, location. The location I will be filming at is the baseball field at Holiday Park. I will be filming here because it is close to my house and perfect for the scenes I have planed for my video. Also the fields at Holiday Park are my stomping grounds because it is where I used to play baseball. That brings me to my next important thing to plan, schedule. The schedule I will be following is go to the field from four to five PM, two days in a row. I am going to sticking to these times because it is right before baseball practices/games start and the sun is still shining. That brings me to the next important thing to plan for which is props. Props that I will plan to bring with me are baseballs, a helmet, a glove, a bat, and a few other thing. The next thing that I need to plan to bring are costumes. The costumes that I have planed to bring so far are two different colored shirts to represent teams. Finally, the most important thing to plan for is back up plans. When it comes to location, if it were busy at Holiday Park, I could go to Bayview Park which is a very similar field, just no fence. When it comes to schedule, if something were to come up or get in the way of the schedule, I can wait out or reschedule to the next day. When it comes to props, if I can't get the props that I need I will go out to my local sport store or improvise the prop. Finally, when it comes to costumes, if I need any costume that I don't have I could either order it online or go to my local cloth store.

  After watching the edited version of my film with m y two friends and my dad everyone was suddenly a film critic. My dad wanted me to add more music. One of my buddies didn’t like the way his body looked in the leaves. My other friend wanted to wear a mask. Temperamental actors!   I think the scenes with the natural leaves located in the park looked much better than the stor e - bought ones. Replacing them was a wise move . Th e d ay we refilmed was definitely much drier than the first shooting. Things went much better . E veryone was in better form with the sunshine. The rainy day had been good to add a somber mood to the film, but not for filming itself. We had a bit of an issue with the b ath house scenes down by the lake. Over the weekend there had been someone who put a lot of graffiti on the walls . We will need to reshoot the lake and bath house scenes next week. We were kind of hoping to wrap up everyth ing this time but no luck. We are going to rev...

  After having another group review my film, (I showed my original and my edited version). They mentioned some points that needed to be fixed because of the weather problems. They had more positive feedback from the edited version that we reshot. I wanted to have feedback from both versions to have some comparisons and ideas. The second and edited version seemed to be more popular than the first. However, there were still more issues that needed to be addressed.  The part where I was running into the woods needed to be reshot. I thought it was cool to film this scene at dusk to give it a creepy appeal. Turns out that it was too dark to see anything, and my classmates said it was too boring. I decided that the afternoon was better for the lighting and special effects. The leaf scene with the real leaves was much better received. The original film with the store-bought fall leaves got a comedy response from one of my friends. He found it quite amusin...

When it comes to producing and editing my all about me commercial, there are many key factors. The key factor I will be discussing are the songs I chose. I will also talk about where they will be used in the commercial. For the commercial I will be choosing two songs that represent me. These songs will describe me as a person. One song will represent one of my past favorite hobbies. The other song will represent a special moment in my life. But to start off with, I will announce the final picture and video order. It will start off with a picture of me age three, with my Mom and Dad. This will be followed by another picture of me age four at my first year of baseball. This will be followed by a video of me at five playing baseball. Then followed by a picture of me age seven with me, Mom, Dad, My sister, and my brother (complete family). Then this will be followed by a video at nine of me and my friends. This will be followed by picture of me at eleven at my baseball championship and las...
