Living in Silver Spring
Essentially this is a video of my sister and I going and playing around at a park near our house. Most of the shots we are in the little children's garden. I wasn't really sure how to capture what it was like to live in Silver Spring. I mean, I don't live near Tacoma Park or Downtown Silver Spring or Rockville, so it's not like I can just go there and film the people and what not. And a day in the life that doesn't include school involves me lazing about all day. I was going to include some shot's of me playing indoor soccer, but it would have been difficult to film there. (and we lost badly to the team we played, so I'm not sure if I want to show that on film....) So sorry British kids, a day in the live in Silver Spring means going to a park to film a video about what it's like to live in Silver Spring. I think the British kids should make videos of what it's like to live in England so we can watch.
I filmed this with my mother's DSLR, with a regular lens. It was really hard to try to figure out what I wanted to do, for the aforementioned reasons. It was also hard to find good music for this. Somehow I ended up with French gypsy jazz. I also had a ton more footage that I wanted to include, but the time limit would not let me. I also kind of panicked because free music archives started glitching, so it wouldn't load for a while, and I was faced with the possibility that I would have to find my CC music elsewhere. To be honest, this was probably my least favorite of the individual video challenges, mostly because I wasn't really inspired by it. I did get a fun day with my sister out of it though :)
Mr Mayo for our next challenge, can we do a short film/trailer like thing? Or maybe a silent movie?
Fun facts:
We did not make that snowman, we found it. It was really cute.
My sister's head is okay.
At the end of the video, I slip and fall.
I tried filming the day that it snowed, and I broke a tripod. Like literally, it snapped in two.
