Filming Blog

Over Thanksgiving break, I filmed a portion of my video. Firstly, I had to decorate my house for Christmas to set the scene. I had to do a lot of holiday cleaning to ensure that everything was precise. Then I set up the Christmas tree with the help of my family. I got to rap the lights all around the Christmas tree which turned out to light up the room. We then unboxed all the antique ornaments and began to place them upon the tree. Sadly during this process, I dropped one of the ornaments causing it to break. Most of the ornaments are passed down from my great-grandmother who collected them as a hobby. Since I got to place the tree topper last year, this year it was my sister turn. I then decorated my living room tables and stands. I have many Christmas figurines that I line the selves with. I filmed all the parts that don't include actors. In total it came out to be about 6 short video clips. I used a variety of camera shots to show as much of the decorations as possible. I did a aerial and zoom shot for the Christmas tree. I plan on using that specific clip in the beginning of my video. I did a pan shot to show the figurines on the shelves. I plan on using this specific clip as a transitioning shot in my video. I used a tracking shot to capture my walking nutcracker in motion. I plan on using this specific clip in the ending of my video. Even though I did complete my whole video I did make progress over the break. Mostly over the break I eat delicious food and spent quality time with family.
