Kung Fu Fighting (Video Project)

[game_guy]

I'm taking a Digital Video class in school. Our most recent project was that we had to make a music video with at least three people per group. Our song as you can guess is Kung Fu Fighting by Karl Douglas. Well we used five however only four appear in the video. Unfortunately I'm not in the video. However I did help come up with the idea, I did direct the video, I filmed, and edited the video.
But I didn't do all the work. My friends (who were my partners) helped me out with this too. The first too people you see on film are Anthony Torres and Alayna Devine. The next two people you see are my friends Cody Guerrero and Alex Aadland. They also helped structure the idea of the video and of course they acted out the parts so I didn't have to be in the film!

This film may be very amature-ish but we had a lot of fun making it. I hope you enjoy somewhat of the video! Please comment, subscribe, and possibly thumbs up?

Lemme know what you guys think!

I did some camerawork a few years ago, but i'm not an expert or anything.

Some basic stuff:

* At 0:08 the guys face is not visible for 10 seconds or. The characters's faces always have to be completely visible at all times.

* The camera is shaking a lot, use a tripod all the time!

* It feels like you didn't have had any theoretical lessons before you filmed this (not your fault). Always film in certain shots like bodyshots or close-up etc. and decide on these things before by creating a storyboard. here you write down every little scene including what happens in this scene, how long it takes and what kind of shot it will be

It looks like you guys had fun, and at the start that is the most important anyway

@Opera; I know <3

Our school district is so poor. Theres shit to work with. No tripods so I tried to use a chair. My teacher is so fucking lazy. He tried to teach us about shots but he just gave us a pdf file to read about and a test to take with visual images. That didn't teach us anything.

We did have a lot of fun making it like you said and I wish I had real camera equipment, tripod, lights, green screen, then i could make something pretty awesome I bet.

Thanks for you comment!
