Filming first task

Today I went shooting my task to film a short clip to music. I used my friend callum to star in it and I chose a song that suited both our preferences. I chose a song called 'Sweater Weather' by a band The Neighbourhood. Their style and genre is indie rock. I particularly liked their video for this song they did themselves. I liked the cinematic look to it and how it was edited to black and white with a white cinematic border. I decided to mimic the look of the lead singer a little with the choice of clothing and the use of sunglasses and the hairstyle. I filmed near the train lines near my housing estate and the back roads where there is fields etc. The idea was that it would be edited using different effects and filters to give it a certain look and make it appear effective. I filmed certain parts with the actor miming the words and other shots of him doing various stuff such as skating and shot parts of the sky and scenery. I imagined this to be edited to the beat and quick paced to run the footage smoothly together and match the miming parts to the lines of the song. I used the praktica camera to film but I was contemplating on using my iphone for the clearer quality on the camera, however my dog annoyingly knocked a glass of water over it so I was unable to use it for filming later on in the day and had to make use of the camera I had which turned out fine as I wasn't planning on using the sound from the camera and was playing a track over the top, and the image was rather good quality.
