Production Blog: Filming

 I started out today at 12:00 Pm on a Sunday morning and brought my friends with me to help record the scene. It was nice and sunny outside and the beached was pretty crowded. The phones started to overheat because of the temperature but I was able to cool it down by putting it in the shad for 5 mins. After we started by taking a walking shot from the far back of the beach and slowly walking with 10 second clips fading in and coming back until we reached the water. It was a little hard to keep the camera steady while walking in the water so it took multiple tries to get it perfect. Then I had to dip my phone in the water for a second and which was really hard because either it was dipped in too fast or i stopped recording before I put it in the water. It took about 15 minutes for me to get the shot right. But I finally got a clean shot that looked pretty nice. After that I started to run into problems; first the go pro wasn't turning on and that was a big problem because we needed underwater shots. So I had to resort to other filming methods. After I checked the scenes that I got but we couldn't record anymore due to the amount of people starting to pile up. SO I have to say that today was a success and I think that me and my friends will go back next weekend to record the dialogue part.

 Hi my name is Leandro Cruz, I am a senior in high school right now and I took AICE Media Studies because I wanted to explore what media studies is about and what type of careers I could get out of it. I was born and grew up in Florida and I like to play soccer and play guitar. I go to Fort Lauderdale High school and have been through many things going through all my Cambridge classes and passing them. I want to become a better student and to feel how it is to be a editor and producer of my own film. When I first got into this class I was a little worried because there were many kids in the class. And I didn't know anybody in that class so I was weirded out at first. But then I opened up a bit and found someone to help me with the projects.  When it comes to sports, I’ve always had a passion for soccer and have been playing it since 5th grade. I’ve been a player for the Hollywood Wildcats team for many years and enjoy the teamwork and professional coaching I’ve received there over

I went to the park and tried to find a good spot to film. I found a spot with a lot of trees and nature around it. I started by standing next to a pole and looking sad. Then immediately got up and looked happy lip-syncing at the start. Then I danced a little to show the happiness in the song. I made some props to represent the animals in the video. I found a tree that was small enough for me to put the puppet on. I then put the elephant near the camera to make it look really big and used the zoom on my camera to show how small the fly was. I then put in the ground. And Filmed the birds in the sky.
