Filming For Real...Well Not Really

On Friday, 11/29/19, my group spent time confirming our filming details for the following day. We planned to meet at my house saturday morning between 7:45 and 8:00. We decided to film in my neighborhood, because my house is the closest to school and I am the only one in my group without a car. We planned to start filming right when everyone got there. This way we would be done filming by 10:00-10:30. We felt that two hours would be enough for us to film all the footage we needed to have to film at the other location. We talked about and sent pictures of our costumes. We chose to go with two different types of outfits, semi-fancy/nice and ghetto. We also talked about which car we were going to use. After a discussion, we decided to use my dad's truck, because it is jacked up and cool looking.
I woke up at 7:15 Saturday morning, to start getting ready to film. At 7:30 I called one of my teammates to insure that she was on her way. After she did not pick up multiple times, I began to worry that she was still sleeping. She eventually texted me back saying that she was awake but not on her way yet. She told me this at 7:45, and she lives about 45 minutes from my house. At 8:05 my other teammate showed up and we started discussing and reviewing the plan for the music video. Around 8:30, our other teammate showed up. Her and I started getting dressed, and changed up our outfits here and there. When we were finally dressed and ready, we realised that the camera was not charged.
We then decided to just use our time to make a very detailed plan for each lyric and exactly what we wanted on the screen. I then explained to my group that it would be way easier to do it the way I’ve done it in the past. To film the whole song at different locations with different people many, many times. Then we can just pick and mix them together. This gives it the feel of a real music video.
