This is my very 1st music video. I have learned alot from this video, although i had researched ALOT I hadnt even understood until I finally grabbed the camera and started shooting. By that I mean, the MOST important element of this whole process was to PLAN! which I didnt do too well mt first around, now I 'think' I understand and my next one will be much better from the aspect of seeing it and knowing it had a plan as opposed to just shooting and trying to edit a plan in premiere!(which is what i did) anyways, the talent liked it (especially since there friends & I did it for free..lol) But with all that said I think I can get this 'Music video thing' so expect to see more and much better planned shots from me in the future.
I also know everything I did wrong like : moved the camera way too much (although they kept asking for movement) didnt focus as much as I shouldve (but we were stealing shots and go kicked out of everywhere we shot ..lol oh well we still got the shots we needed) I have no story but this song is more of a performance piece and so on.. I will be BETTER!! lol



Thanks to everyone that answered my questions and helped out!

BobBlankemeier, yessir.. drexel's floor of lights .. you from the philly area bro?

male man, to tell you the truth, I have no outboard monitor to check critical focus or even tell if its too dark or what, I went off eye. I think it did ok in a very low light situation with 1 comer light. although i KNOW it could have been better with lighting setup, as I said in my original post, we were guerilla shooting this video and were told to leave the premises a few times..lol so setting up wasnt going to happen. we had to run & gun.

all told, I now have learned my lesson to secure location & get permission, get some friends to help with lighting and what not so I could focus. but oh, well its my very 1st try at this and I have learned alot.
 
I used to live in Philly and went to film school at Temple U. I was walking over near Upenns campus recently. I went to Bobby Flays Burger Palace. The onion rings are massive.
