Behind the Scenes

 Here is the behind the scenes of component 3. This was made by Tisha, Kimora and I (Cassie).

Reflection: 

Working on the behinds the scenes part of my project allowed me to see the whole production process. In past projects, I’ve always been the main actor, so it was a new experience to be apart of the filming crew. My role is I usually gave insights to the camera man, took behind the scenes pictures, took pictures for our artist’s instagram, and acted as background or secondary actors. The main problem when creating this blog post was the random scenes Kellie and Karl filmed, as they couldn’t really take too many BTS-esque pictures. We also simply did not really put too much effort into those spontaneous scenes, so we couldn’t really explain the process behind it. The solution we thought off was using phone accessories and equipment such as octobuddies (suction tool that allows phones to be stuck onto a surface), tripods, pop sockets, etc. This allows Kellie and Karl to film from afar without them actually holding the phone, making it look like we have a camera man, and allowing them to document their process. Next time, I would ask Kellie and Karl to ask someone around them to assist them in taking at least a few of their shots, so there is at least a larger variety of footage and there would be more behind the scenes pictures.

Filming Schedule

Here is the filming schedule for component 3. This was made by me (Cassie)

Scene	Date/Time	Location	People	Props	Equipment	Notes
Park Scene	15/11/25, 4:00PM	Peninsula Island	Cassie, Kimora, Tisha, Kellie, Karl	Picnic fabric, Snacks, Basket, Flowers, Painting, Camera	Phone, Digicam, Camera	Kellie and Karl came an hour late, so we had limited time to film before the sun set and it got too dark.
Photobooth Scene	16/11/25, 1:00PM	Photoism, Living World Mall	Kellie, Karl	None needed	Phone	Since this was a very simple shot, Kellie and Karl did it in their own time without the rest of the team.
Shopping Scene	02/12/25, 6:00PM	Mr DIY, Trans Studio Mall	Kellie, Karl	Random goods from Mr DIY	Phone	Kellie and Karl spontaneously decided to film this while they were together. Unplanned, but may be useful if we need more scenes. The rets of the team was not present because this was on Kellie and Karl’s personal date.
Night Out Scene	05/12/25,  7:00PM	Shooters	Kellie, Karl	Game materials	Phone	Again, this was randomly filmed during their personal date, which is why the rest of the team was not present. However, we gave Kellie and Karl insights on how to film via WhatsApp.
Record Cafe Scene	12/12/25, 10:00AM	Analogue Listening Space	Tisha, Kellie, Karl	Drinks, Pastries, Headphones, Handbag	Phone, Digicam, Camera	Tisha helped Kellie and Karl film this during Cassie’s internship hours and Kimora was overseas.

Reflection: 

This filming schedule will remind us when we need to film. It’s crucial we plan this in advanced so we don’t end up procrastinating it and have to film everything last minute at the end of the project timeline. I decided to create this short, simple, yet straight to the point filming schedule just to keep track of when we would have to film. I also added Kellie and Karl’s unplanned filming sessions here so we could keep track of the individual scenes. One problem we faced is that Kellie was going abroad from December 13th to January 13th. This meant we could not film for the entirety of our winter holiday from school. This made it very difficult for me to find times for us to film, especially since everyone was busy with school, exams, internships, etc. The solution we thought of was filming much in advanced as soon as our storyboard was finished. By filming way before all the other groups in our class, we could make the most of our limited time together, while still being in the same phase when we arrive back at school. We also let Kellie and Karl film footage of their dates when possible so we have extra clips to use if we ever needed it. When Kellie arrives back in Indonesia, we plan to film the rest of the scenes swiftly so we can move on to editing. Next time, maybe I would film more over the days we had left and managed my time better so we could squeeze in more filming sessions so we wouldn’t have to stress too much about it when we’re back to school.

Screen Test

This is the screen test for component 3. This screen test was filmed on my device, and everyone contributed in filming it, while Kimora edited it. This blog post was done by me (Cassie).

Screen Test
/ˈskrēn ˌtest/

noun

a filmed test to ascertain whether an actor is suitable for a movie role.

Why did we create a screen test?

My team and I decided to create a screen test so we can tell who would play the roles of our main characters best. We needed someone who was confident and comfortable on camera, especially when filming affectionate scenes since our music video contains themes of love. Doing this will help us avoid actor-related problems in the future such as an actor having a different vibe than what we are looking for, or an actor’s delivery not being as good as we wanted. By doing a screen test, we hope to find someone with good star quality who can execute our vision properly. Additionally

Our Process 

First, we sectioned the lyrics and decided one person would lip sync one section. Once that was done, we first filmed ourselves as we may be possible candidates. Then, during free periods or after school, we looked around for people who were willing to be our actors. We gave them limited instructions: just lip sync to the song/say this line and the rest is up to you. So, body language, delivery, and other factors was purely up to the actor. After filming enough people, I put all the clips from my device in shared google drive, where Kimora edited it on CapCut. Tisha then uploaded it on Youtube.

Screen Test #1 - Our Artist

From our candidates (except the two boys, we did that for the laughs), we decided actor #3 AKA Kellie, our team member, was the most confident and comfortable with the camera. She often posts lip syncing videos to her TikTok, so this was no surprise. Kellie was perfect for what we envisioned, so we decided to select her as the actor for our artist. We named our artist “Ellie”, a shorted version of Kellie. 

Screen Test #2 - The Boy

After deciding the female actor, we now had to decide the actor for her love interest. Because of this, we decided to also hold a screen test for Kellie’s close guy friend outside of our school even though most of the guys in this screen test are from our school. Based on line delivery alone, actor #4 AKA Karl, did it best in our opinion. He also has an advantage, as he is already close to Kellie, so we assumed his chemistry with her would be satisfactory as well. To test this, we decided to do another screen test purely to analyze chemistry.
