The second day of filming

Date: 02.02.2026
Location: Timișoara – my friend's house
Participants: Some of my friends and other people, social gathering

    Another day of filming took place during a friend’s birthday gathering, at their house, where I captured more spontaneous, social footage. This setting allowed me to document natural interactions between friends, reinforcing the themes of youth, connection, and authenticity present throughout my music video. I used handheld camerawork to create a sense of intimacy and realism, making the audience feel directly involved in the moment rather than observing from a distance.    
    This footage was largely observational, focusing on candid moments such as conversations and small gestures. The unscripted shots help support the non-linear narrative structure, as they function as fragmented memories rather than part of a chronological storyline.
    This approach also reflects the nostalgic tone of the song, while also strengthening the realism of the video.

    Filming in a real social environment also helped me avoid artificial and staged performances, allowing the emotions and interactions to appear genuine. This aligns with my intention to construct an authentic and relatable representation of youth and friendship.

    Other personal archive materials would be included, to reference childhood memories. You can find it in the previous planning & research post; Archive Footage to Enhance Nostalgia
