Filming Frenzy

Okay so i haven't put up a post in awhile but thats because i've actually been filming like crazy! I went to rent a camera from the audio visual department but it turns out that if you don't want to return the camera by 8:30 am you get charged 50 cents an hour! I know that doesn't seem like a lot but i wanted to rent it for over 48 hours so yeah i moved on to plan B! Borrow my friends camera. So far it seems to be working. I filmed all day on monday and i got some great footage on fri, sat and sun night too!. I've also come up with a lot of ideas.

For the beginning i think i will start off with black and all you her is the sound of an alarm. Then it will fade in to a digital clock and all you see is the time. Then my characters eyes will open and her day will begin. There will be a short scene of her on the way to school and then a montage of her doing all her work in various places such as the classroom, her locker, the library, on the train etc. In the background there is going to be techno music. The music is going to get louder and louder as the day progresses. By the time the music is blasting loud my character will be in a club and the montage of her partying will begin. If i can edit it the way i want too I think this video portrait has the potential to be really good.

I'm excited because at first i procrastinated alot and I was really shy about filming things in public. However once i got into it i have really been enjoying looking at life through a lens.
Anyways I'll try and do a better job of keeping you posted!
