Ice Rink

I began the first filming day by meeting my group members at Glacier Ice Arena. I paid $17 to get a skating pass. I couldn't skate intensely and be in the videos on the ice, but I was still excited to go on the ice with my group mates. I got my skates from the counter along with the group. As soon as I put my skates on I realized that we forgot to film our beginning scenes coming into the building and getting the skates. I decided that the scenes would just be filmed out of order since the skates were already on. My group and I went onto the ice to film. I started off slow because of my injury and I wanted to get the hang of the skating before I was filming. I did this because I did not want to fall with the camera in my hand. I began filming my group mates Kaya and Addison skating together. They skated past me and did this a couple times so there would be extra scenes just in case we needed them so the music video would be long enough. I then filmed a tracking shot from behind Kaya, Addison, and Ben, following them on the ice. Then, I filmed Ben falling on the ice. It began as a still shot and then I skated towards Ben and Addison and Kaya came from behind me to help him up. I zoomed the camera into his head so we could use it for a transition into the next scene during editing. After I finished filming the scenes on the ice, I filmed the rest of the scenes that were forgotten about at the start. I filmed Ben getting new skates from the counter as an over the shoulder shot. Then, I filmed Kaya, Addison, and Ben re tying their skates. At the end, I filmed them coming into the arena. I was inside of the building and they walked through the door. They then walked to the ticket booth. This was a very productive filming day. I had a lot of fun being behind the camera and directing the shots.
