Group picks!!

 In my media class I have some friends I know I could never work with. When working in a project where work needs to be done, it cannot just be fun I know I had to pick people that would do their work. I decided to work with people I sit around and one of my friends because I know the work would get done. Im serious about my grades and wouldn't want anything to jeopardize it. Whenever you make the decision to work with friends and they don't pitch in and do their part then it will cause problems which is why its better to work with reliable people. The people I sit around show great work ethic and are smart so I knew it would be great working with them. We all offer different things that would help the music video come out great and pass successfully. Im working with Abimbola, Shabrina, and Mariajose and honestly its a four star group. 

When coming up with a group it was fairly easy because we agreed on working together quickly. Picking a song wasn't as easy. I wanted to do a R&B song because it is just a broad umbrella and if the song were to ever change it would be easy to pick another. Before choosing a song I needed to decide what vibe was needed. At first I wanted a party vibe. This means lots of obvious fun having and heads sticking out of windows but essential it didn't go in that way. It was decided that a heartbreak essential sad song would be the best pick and vibe for the video. The song picked was heartbreak anniversary by Giveon. Honestly the song is very descriptive and really has a lot of emotion attached. It would be easy to do a music video because it would be like a breakup vibe which would be fun to create. It was between heartbreak anniversary and Thank you, next by Ariana Grande and honestly this may be a better fit. I think the group I chose also helped shorten the song picking process too because it could have been full of way more indecisiveness. This will be a learning and growing experience and shoutout to Giveon for making a gem.

The editing of the production.

 Hey, Hey, welcome back! After recording it was time to piece everything together. The editing app was decided to stick to Capcut. While editing I didn't want to have to learn a new software so Capcut was the best choice. I was already familiar with it so it just made everything simpler.  When deciding on the song we needed one that fit the vibe and when editing I decided to use the semi beginning of the song. The beginning of the song had too much intro while I wanted it straight to the point. I overlapped it a bit though so that it didn't just roughly go into the song without somewhat of an intro. While filming I didn't take into consideration the time limit as I should have. Some of the videos were pretty long in seconds so I had to cut it down. Having to edit some of each clips to 10 seconds or less without getting the main subject out. I also had to cut videos into two and put them together to cut the middle out as it wasn't important. With the video I had to cut i...

Planning blog: Location, participants, health, and schedule

Welcome back to my blog!  Today I'm going to go even further into the planning of how my group's opening scene came to be. Although planning this was so fun, there was also a lot of layers to it. I'll start by talking about our location. When first discussing about our location, we knew that it would have to be somewhere of a location region as well as a mall where people visit frequently. After conversing about it  we decided on Sawgrass Mall. We were satisfied with that at first the realized that we had an issue.  What we wanted to do would require us to be in a smaller and more confined room. After realizing that, we decided to back on the scratch board and make some compromises. With only a few minutes of deliberating, we decided to use a groupmates' house. With our location confirmed everything seems set.  So far we have all of our scenes set, assigned roles, and our location. Some of the things we're still looking into are the props we will need. With this bei...

Production blog; Filming

 Welcome back!!!!!  Now as stated in the previous blog some hardships were faced. One that I didn't mention was group disagreements. When in a group sometimes tension can run high and be difficult with working with each other. Now even though filming went ok it could have been better. I stated the scheduling made a lot of things difficult which led to some arguments. Now these arguments led tension that were not hashed out until the day of filming. While filming, I wanted our acting to be beyond surface level. This was impossible with the anger that was fueling the room. To be able to film I had to get everything off of the table. Two members weren't seeing eye to eye and in order to not show it while recording a discussion was prompted. After talking it all out, it was a better place to film.  While filming (part two) While filming, it was done in my house and I wanted everything perfect. To have a lot of the scenes authentic, I put a movie in the background so in the sc...
