        For our music video we did K by CAS. The concept of our video is a girlfriend and a boyfriend, in the beginning the boyfriend is sitting in the car, putting in a cassette he and his girlfriend bought at a record store. He puts it in, and K starts playing. It cuts to flashbacks of videos that he had taken of his girlfriend as they strolled around the city and made memories. It shows all of their home videos. It shows them going over time and celebrating birthdays and different times in their relationship. We filmed this video starting at 3:30pm and went all the way until 10:00pm. We shot in about 20 different places, throughout the entire night. The opening car scenes and ending car scenes are in black and white to give it more of a gloomy and upset effect.

 While filming this video I feel like my editing skills will be improved by watching Ryan edit a few of the scenes, and I feel my cinematography will improve as well because of Erin and watching all the shots she took, I can see different types of shots and how to make the quality pristine.

 Erin was cinematographer/DP, Ann was art director. Ashlee was director, I was acting and helped direct and art direct. and Ryan is editing.

We chose to use a VHS/Home video type effect on the flashbacks because we felt that would highlight their style, their relationship, and show the audience that he was filming her and make that clear to the audience.

The only thing I would change would be make sure we have the male actors locked down way ahead of time. we didn't have much time to film because all of our schedules are so busy and opposite of each-other so the one day we could all be together and film we couldn't get the male actor and had to adjust the entire video, therefore our storyboards and preproduction didn't help. We came up with this the day of, and yet its still my favorite project to date.
