Final

For this project I really wanted to keep things fairly simple, yet still leave some room for fun shots. This project provided some unique challenges, the clips are so short that a lot of work had to go into them to make sure that not only did the fit for length but that the visuals were also complementary to the song clips. We initially had many more complicated ideas, but found them too complicated for the short amount of time that the song allowed. So we really strived for shots that provided a bit of depth, while also being simple enough to be understood in the short time span. Due to the style of filming we wanted, and also the availability of equipment in the equipment center we ended up filming on our phones. This allowed for a faster workflow and forced us to really put all of the action right in front of the camera since our phones have such a broad depth of field. My favorite section is the “ When Will I Find Me” line, for this I really wanted to film in a way that would somewhat disorient the audience and make them really feel somewhat lost as to what just happened. Filming through a mirror and ending on a reveal came together really naturally and I am very pleased with the final result. I feel it is disorientating enough to express the lyrical meaning, but simple enough that the audience doesn’t have to dwell on it and miss the rest of the video because of it. All in all this project was really enjoyable and far more challenging than I originally imagined.
