Connection Music Video

The song we chose was Connection by OneRepublic. Our concept was about a guy that cannot get a love connection with anyone. The process was pretty long in pre-production. We did not all share the same vision so there were a couple bumps along the way. We were able to compromise, but we still had to re-edit it after we were done filming. Finding actors was pretty difficult. We didn't find enough actors in time so we had to use people from our class. Even though we filmed kind of late in the time allowed, our video, I think, came out extremely well. Finding locations was really easy because we figured all of it out during pre-production. Post-production was simple for me because I was not editor. Something new I learned during filming is how to pull focus. I think we didn't do the best at sharing our ideas because we didn't always get along. I think we did ok on project management, but we could have done better. It was difficult to film because we all work and it was hard to find a time that was available for both us and our actors. I think next time we could work on compromising, because we didn't all share the same ideas and we did the "If I get this you can have this" thing, which I don't feel is good collaboration. I will learn from this experience by getting done filming sooner. I think overall our video turned out very well and I am very proud of it.
