Music Video Review

For this project we got in groups to film/recreate a music video. I got added into a group that I got along with which made this project a lot easier. We decided that we wanted to go with a carefree type vibe for a video. There was a few choices we had but we decided recreate “Young Dumb and Broke” by Khalid. This video had the vibes we were looking for but also takes place in a high school which made it easier for us to film.
I ended up being the cinematographer for this film which taught me so much. I got to learn new things about ISO and changing settings on the camera. This was definitely a fun experience for me and I enjoyed recreating and being able to be behind the camera. It was definitely a challenge to try to get the shots to look ‘carefree’ but also good. A lot of the shots moved around a lot which made it hard to use a tripod. To be honest I only used a tripod maybe twice. The other scenes I either used a monopod or kept it handheld.
This project was overall so much fun and taught me so much. For the most part, I think my group had great communication and we were able to get the project done in a timely manner. If I had to fix something in this project, I would make sure to have every shot in focus and to correct the white balance in each shot. Color correction isn’t fun but sometimes it is necessary.

We had to adapt while filming a scene.
