For this project, I helped develop a video parody of Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off.” This was done to practice process, teamwork, and the one-shot film method. My part in production was the cameraman and editor.

Our thoughts behind this project were to portray a group of college outcasts traveling from party to party, not being accepted until the end where a large party ensues. I feel that process was heavily exercised throughout this project because working between two large groups, things were added, cut out, changed, etc. Not only was timing stressed because of the distance we needed to travel, technical skills were stressed as well. I used a steady-cam to help ease the movement of the camera but because we moved so quickly, its full potential was denied. In the end, I feel it was a decent video, given the time, meeting limitations, and resources.
