Filming by the sea


The location we picked for our music video was changing a lot, so everyone would be able to get there to film. We were aiming to get some shots with the sunrise and sunset to fit the type of vibe of our video. We also had a backup plan if that didn’t work, due to rain or other uncontrollable events. The song we chose can be interpreted in many ways due to the fact there are no words. We used the beach for our location. We didn’t have any issues with health and safety. We were able to make sure that the beach was safe for us to film. We Made sure we were not in the way of any beach goers and got their permission if we needed them in the video. we also checked in with the nearest lifeguard to make sure that we could film for our video. He said that we can film but to make sure that we checked in with him every few hours and to let him know when we are leaving.

For our props we used a car and some of the lifeguard stands. Of course, there is the chance these scenes can be cut out during the editing phase. We also used some beach towels
and sunglasses. Costumes for our music video were some "typical Floridian" beach wear. Shorts and a tank top or a bathing suit as we were going for a "beach vibe". Anything that is considered beach or beach like clothing. (What a surfer would wear).

The camera angles we used for the music video were: wide shot, pan, tilt, trunk shot, high angle shot, close ups as well as two people shots. For our male protagonist, we will be using our close friend Sam. We gave him a suffer beach boy look. We used no beauty make up on him. Sunblock was used as our version of makeup. We had a few props. we used towels, cars, the pier. we are mainly relying on the setting to tell our story. Our setting was at the Lauderdale by the sea beach. We were under the fishing pier for a large portion of the music video.
