For this task we had to create a music video for a song of our choice, happily our group formed so that we had worked on several other projects this semester already together and we had an instant dynamic ready to go when the assignment started and all knew what we wanted to do. The song was chosen and Cullen headed the project as well as camera operator, and I acted as assistant camera and helped set shots up providing help with using the C100 when filming. When it started raining I also aided in keeping the equipment covered to prevent damage and keeping everything generally safe when working around the public and the weather, as our crew was quite large with a lot of different tasking there was a lot going on.

This task provided the most experience I’ve had yet in regards to planning, preparing and executing a production shoot all independently. I got more experience with risk assessments and booking sheets as well as data processing before handing it over to the editors. The shoot itself lasted several hours well into the night and I felt it was a good stepping stone to understanding the dynamics of a real production, being that you have to constantly be on your toes and ready to roll as well as keeping up endurance when going about a lot of locations in one day. 

Looking on the result of the shoot and the edit, I felt it was a really successful two days, we had met our production sheet dates and were not overdue on any shots nor did we finish too early and wrapped up on the second day and had ample time to edit the video, critically of which also turned out really good and proved it was worth shooting late into the night when it got quieter on the streets so we could get the shots we wanted especially for the colored lighting.
