So, I begin my day by meeting my group at the ice rink. Once all group members have arrived, my group and I go get our skates because we all eagerly wanted to begin skating. So much so that we forgot to film the first four scenes of our music video. Once I realized this I was already on the ice. I suggested that we film all the scenes that required us to be on the ice first to save time. So instead of getting off the ice rink, taking off of our skates, filming the shots, then putting our ice skates back on, and getting back on the ice then filming the scenes that required the ice skating, we would just film these skating clips first. The first scene that I acted out was our fifth one where all characters except the camera person would enter the skating rink and follow the skaters. I suggested that this shot be a tracking shot. Then came the filming of our group member, Ben, slipping and falling on the ice. That's when my group member Addison and I would skate over to him and look worried. Just in case the scenes were not long enough to reach the minute and 15-second mark, I created a backup plan. Since I would not be able to return due to the tight schedule that I had. My group members and I decided to film extra shots of us skating around the rink to use. These shots consisted of me and Addison. Both of us would be skating around the rink hand in hand. Then we moved on to the scenes that we forgot to do in the beginning. My group member Ben believed that his skates were too big for him and wanted to exchange skates so I took this opportunity to shoot our 3rd and 4th scene of us renting and tying our skates on. I filmed Ben as he grabbed his skates from the booth. It was originally planned that three of us would be in the shot but instead, I ended up only shooting Ben. Soon after my group and I took off our skates once again and re-tied them so that I could film our 4th scene. As I was about to leave I remembered that we needed to film our first scene of us walking up to the ticket booth and buying our tickets. Lily stood inside the building filming as Ben, Addison, and I walked in and to the ticket booth. Our film production did not go as we first planned. Our second shot of us walking to the ice skating rink with an over-the-shoulder shot was moved to right before our 5th scene of us entering the skating rink. I changed this because we thought it was more logical and better suited the storyline.
