Jibran Karamat Film Blog (A2 2024)

 After shoot day, while I started assembling the footage, I realised I needed more footage to fill the time for the song. So I went out and filmed more establishing shots of the road and scenery on my way to school in the morning to paint a clearer picture of the scene in the city, to fit the theme of the song

 After filming, there was a lot of footage I had to look through.  There were a couple main features I looked for when skimming through the footage Compatibility with the song How well the performance fits the scene in the music How well synced the lip syncing is I didn't really have any chronological pattern to the footage, as I preferred the storytelling of the video to be highlighted in the songs lyrics. So I knew I would be able to mix and match the daytime and nighttime footage within their respective scenes in order to make a more cohesive performance. Even with my more lax criteria, I realised I still needed more footage to fit in some of the low parts of the song to make it fit more smoothly.

 1. Dehydration: the sun was out and we were doing a lot of high energy shots, so I made sure to bring plenty of water for the actor 2. Driving safety: some of the shots were taken in a moving car, so I had to make sure we were following proper driving safety rules, such as wearing a seatbelt, keeping the camera out of the field of view of the driver, and filming in the passenger seat, etc. 3. Health and safety: I made sure to keep a first aid kit nearby at all times

We managed to get most of the shots done throughout the day successfully. We started at 11am and went until 8pm, making sure to take breaks along the way. I brought water and food for my actor during the shoot to make sure he would be at full energy throughout, overall very productive and successful.
