Advancements in filming my music video

 After completing the filming of scenes three through six, we filmed the first two and last two scenes. To prepare for filming, I printed out a picture of the silhouette of a girl carrying shopping bags. I searched the internet for at least an hour trying to find a drawing that I could use, as many had watermarks on them. Once I had found and printed the correct picture, I attached it to a clipboard and set it aside, as I had to prepare the rest of the set. I did so by making my bed, preparing the chair for the cameraman to sit in, opening the music video on my computer, and changing into the clothes needed for the scene. The first time filming this scene, I asked my brother to film it. This did not work out, as we would fight over how to film and he would not listen to me while I showed him how and where to hold the camera. Before I could complete the filming, he had to leave as well because he had to complete his homework. I then asked my father to film those scenes and he obliged. Because everything was prepared from the last time we tried filming, my father was ready to begin filming. I directed him at which angle and shot to film at and once this was done he would begin recording and pressed play on the music. I would be in position and ready for him to press play on the music when he did so, leading to the filming of those scenes being quick and efficient. In addition to filming the first and last two scenes, the sixteenth scene was also filmed. This scene was filmed late in the day, because of scheduling complications, leading to a shortened amount of time to film. To prepare for this scene, I found the correct magazine to use, filled up a cup with water, put on my costume, adjusted the lounge chair, and cleaned the leaves from the ground. Filming this scene was slightly difficult because my brother would constantly hit me with the palm leaf. In addition, at some points I started slightly earlier than I needed to, leading to my father having to film the scene again. Despite these difficulties, the filming was completed. However, after looking back, I realized that we may have to film this scene again, as my brother's flip flops were within the take that I was going to use. I may be able to use another take, however, the re-filming of the scene will most likely be done. In addition to re-filming this scene, I also have to film the rest of the scenes this upcoming weekend and begin editing.
