 When creating this music video, me and my team had many issues to work out before we could actually make this a reality. With hard work and perseverance, we actually made it through with the music video. Rewatching our video, I have to say that this was the best production that we made. Everything is so well planned and organized, and the quality is so much better than I thought it would be. There's so many different shots, the music syncs for most of the music video, and every scene feels unique and not out of place. Overall, I believe that this video is our best so far, and I am excited for the next video that we will produce. 

 Filming Blog Today was our last day of filming and everyone made it today. We filmed on 12/10/21 at my house after getting Ethan's mom to drop us off. After we got to my house, we dropped our stuff off and got started on recording. We only had 2 and a half scenes to create. We finished the 10th scene by eventually making the chasing scene end with Jason being chased at and me catching up to him. In the 11th scene, the chase continued until Jason couldn't go on anymore and looked back. This was the hardest scene because Ethan was behind Jason and we couldn't get the timing right for the entire scene. So the solution was I had to stand farther back while walking. Then we decided to let Sebastian get in the video just to have him do something. I personally didn't want Sebastian in the music video because it made no sense for the context, but Ethan was basically the producer and said it adds to the mystery. So for scene 12, we made Sebastian and I walk up to Jason while cl

Filming Blog: On Saturday, December 4th, we went to Jason's house so we could film near there. This time, Ethan couldn't make it because he was taking his drivers license test. But this was okay because so far he did not play any big role in the story. So it was Jason, me, and Sebastian who were filming that day. We all wore the same clothes that we had worn before. This was easy because we wore jackets and the same pair of pants the whole way through. So after a little planning of where to go for this filming session, we went to the streets near Jason's neighborhood to film. So we started off with scene 9, which was a chasing scene between me and Jason so they ran and ran and kept taking scenes of just running. Me and Jason said that it was exhausting with all that running but they were fine. In scene 10, I started to pick up the pace and run faster to show how the robber was getting away. Even more running and a faster pace meant we had to take a water break because it wa

 Filming blog On Saturday, November 27th all 4 of us went out to film. Everyone came and we made sure to all wear the same clothing except for Sebastian and Ethan because they were not in the scenes we had filmed before. This time we started at scene 4, which was continuing the stalking with me and Jason. This time, we went near Sebastian's house because there were multiple neighborhoods near here which we had to use for jump cutting between different locations. Then we planned to go to a park so we can film scene 5. This scene had me leave my briefcase down on the ground found in the park, and leaving it to attend to something else (sleep), while Jason hides behind a tree staying out of sight. In scene 6, Jason went for the briefcase as you can see I'm throwing away something found in his hand. The shot found here will be a panning shot. We had also taken scene 7 and 8, where I notice my own briefcase getting stolen and I start to run after him. These two scenes we kept messin

 Filming Blog We started to film on November 20th, and all of our group were here to help film. The place we filmed at was near Ethan's house on the streets. We went here first because for the first 3 scenes, it mostly consists entirely of walking between 2 people. Our costumes will be dark clothing consisting of long pants, and a jacket with a hoodie. Sebastian, Jason, Ethan, and I were all in the music video with me and Jason being the main characters and Sebastian and Ethan being background characters. In the first scene, it will start with a cinematic view of the city, which will be locations such as the cars driving on the road, a view of the lake nearby making it look like a river, or nature found nearby. The second scene will switch from cinematic views to the story portion of the video. This scene follows me walking on the streets, strutting like a gentleman carrying a briefcase that Sebastian supplied him with. The camera will follow him around with the music, then it will
