Filming!

 Today I'll be filming at Jack's house! I brought over some gear including:

The forbidden tripod! Janky-ness returns again for A level! I didn't use it too much, as most of my shots were handheld and had camera motion.

For filming, I used my Google Pixel 8 phone as my camera. I've heard that Pixel phones have some of the best cameras in a phone, so I decided to use this. Plus, I don't have a DSLR camera or anything fancy, so this will do.

I also used a weird piece of tech for a camera: my old Nintendo 2DS. One of my friends was joking about how I should use it because it would be vintage. I thought that actually would work with this music video, as it can tie into the nostalgic brand that many indie musicians, like Dayglow have. And the change of camera quality should keep the viewer hooked. 

My laptop was also there, with it having the shotlist and being able to playback Flower. Playing it will allow Jack to perform in time with the song so it will be easy for me to sync in post production.

The actual process of filming went smoothly! It took around 2 hours to get all of the shots, and then some. Jack helped give me some other ideas of shots, including a shot of a flower being dropped on the floor. Subtilty isn't our forte, but guitars are! We took some blooper shots, like this. The bloopers can be posted on my social media page for promotion.
