The filming of my music video project was full of ups and downs. However, overall it was a fun adventure that had to be taken with my group to portray the best final draft we could dig up. To begin with, our first day of filming took place at Lili's house. It was a bit uncoordinated, because we couldn’t find a day that we were all free. Eventually, we found a day that worked for all of us and that was on November 23rd. That same day we had to push the time further because of some inconveniences. One of my group mates, Brianna, brought her twin sister so that she could record for us and they actually got to Lili’s house first. Then I got there about half an hour later. Lastly, Aleiah got to the house shortly after I had arrived. Right then and there we began to film our video. We first started with the scene where I was sitting on the bed.

The first minute and fifteen seconds did not fit our standards, therefore we agreed to edit our song. The beginning was too repetitive with its chorus so I wanted to include the bridge and some of the verses. The day of class before recording, my group and I fixed up the song to our liking. This was a very chaotic process, because I had to make sure that the two parts we were combining from different parts of the song made sense together. This took a very long time to achieve this goal. I had to cut much of the middle sections of the song and therefore the instrumental parts that I would have to merge together, in the end, were tricky to build. At times, my group and I had to compromise on what we thought had the best sound in the video. In some parts I felt it was a stretch to put next to each other but there wasn't any other way it could wo
