First Half

 WHADUPPP BLAWWG

Since we finished filming and I am about to start editing I wanted to give some background information on the first half of my opening which is the pre-recorded video. The first half of this video, when the little girl is shown, was a brief video that my dad created when I was around 9 years old. The video was short but, last year my father decided to record the entire song. His main concern, or should I say excitement, was to also have the sound/ video transition from little me to big me. So that is what we did :D 

The recording process took about a week. We had a microphone in the closet so that external sounds were minimized. My dad is a music producer so we had all the necessary equipment to tune out any extra sounds. As for the filming process, we bought black tablecloths which we taped on our walls to create an elegant black background, we also had two bright white lights and a singular yellow-ish orang-ish light behind the two main subjects that added a nice orange detail as shown below. 

For the camera, we used a canon EOS 1200D on a tripod which we had available. Using this camera was a privilege since it is allowed us to zoom focus with ease.

The filming process took about 2 hours

That's about it! Those were the technical aspects of the filming process for the first half of the opening. Luckily we didn’t need to reshoot as we had enough time to look back at the shots and decide what we wanted to change, between takes.
