 Hey blog! its me again. So after finishing our music video I began on editing. First thing I did was gather all my video in a photo album so I could keep myself organized. After doing this I found my screen recorded song and added it to the album as well. Next I opened capcut and added all the video in order, that's when I saw the app crashed, so I added them 3 by 3. When adding them I cropped and adjusted them to make sure they were right, then I added more and more videos and continued to do this process. Of course I didn't do all the editing. I left some editing for each partner. I decided to add the song so I could cut some scenes on beat with the song. After doing this I decided to assign certain editing to my partners so they could have editing to work on. As I continued editing I got far pretty fast, it felt natural. As I got use to it, it became very helpful and this would help with future projects. The final thing i edited was the end credits giving song credits and p...

      Hey blog! its me again. Its our last day filming! I drove to Maddie's house around 5:30 so we all would make it to the beach by sunset maybe a little before. Once I got there I began to layout was would be filmed. After agreeing my group and I started to head over there. when arrived I noticed it was just about to be unset. So I told my group that we should just begin filming. As my group walked and talked about how it will go we began. I started off by filming my group mate as she was texting on the phone. This was a very important part of our climax. It led into a introduction of what was about to happen.  After that I was in the video until after the climax. The final scene I recorded was the bystander watching as someone kills the other. This opened up our video to a dramatic ending. After recording the bystander I also recorded the murder as they stood in the water starring at their hands thinking about what they have done. I used a wide shot and a hi...

 Hey blog! its me again, today I will be talking about how my group and I worked on our project on Tuesday. I got dropped off at my friends house so the filming could begin. My group and I shot some scenes that needed to be filmed inside for about 30 minutes. After a while I asked if the video would be done today and my groupmate Maddie said that she would be busy after 4. This became a problem because one of our scenes is during sunset, which sets a certain mood to the audience when watching. After resolving that out we began to walk to the beach to continued filming. Once they reached the beached they recommended recording the scene off the sand First. it started off with us filming walking scenes mixed with facial expressions. After filming a few of those scenes I realized when we film the water scenes we will not have enough time to record the sand scenes in time. So I told my group that we should begin on that. So after some talking my groupmates agreed. In one of the shots th...

      Hey blog! its me again. Today I will be talking about how I will contribute to my group in this project. First I helped my group pick a song. I gave them a list of songs ideas for the video. They have mentioned they wanted this music video to be about hate and murder, so I listened to a couple of songs and my playlists and wrote down the ones that fit the best. The list was long so I made everyone pick their top three songs and saw which were common. In this process I will also be filming the scenes i'm not in. In this music video i will be playing one of the most important roles in the plot, so I will not be off camera as much, but whenever I am i will take over filming and record. In order to help my group out I offered to be the editor of the project since I won't do much of filming. Finally I will be helping my group out with difficulties we are having filming. My group and I have decided to meet on our "4 day weekend". During this time I plan to recommend ...

      Hey blog! its me again, quick update on life, I made the school soccer team! Anyways lets get started on this process. ( my group mates and I after planning) On PSD Day my group and I went to Madeline’s house to work and start on our music video during this process I handle describing the song choice to my partners and decided where the song should begin and end. after I established the beginning and end my groupmates thought of ideas while I was getting the sound of the song to my camera roll so it would be easier to access when editing the video. On this day my group and I pictured the scenes in our heads while the song was playing in the background, I realized that it wasn't going to fit all in because there are too many details that were very unnecessary. Therefore, I brainstormed ideas to my group about how to make it shorter but also the same. After a while they agreed, and we on this same day I requested to shoot one scene to see how it looks with the song in...

 Welcome back. To learn how to do something you must see it first. So here we are. We look at 3 different videos, so let's get into it. WUSYANAME by Tyler, The Creator: The music video opens with an establishing shot of a blue car, with suitcases on the top, driving down a road towards mountains in the distance. From this shot it moves to a bird's eye view on the car to a wide shot of the same. The wide shot is then cut into a close of the back windshield and the suitcases.  The Actor (Tyler) was wearing an outfit that fit perfectly with the setting. All other background actor were in a similar style, though he was the only one in a hat. A female lead actor was introduced as Tyler was trying to talk to her as shown through a close up and two shot, cutting between the two. This continues until there is a close up on the dish is her hand as she is walking away from him. She then sits at a table with another man in a two shot, the two bring the only ones in all gray. It then free...

       Hey blog! its me again. Today I will be talking about how my group mates an I will be planning our Music video out. Our song choice was "Are We Still Friends" by Tyler The Creator.  Props :  In our music video we will be using props. One of the props we will be using is a cellphone. The cellphone is one of the most important parts of this music video. In our music video the cellphone shows evidence for one of the characters. Another one of our props is a friendship bracelet. This item signifies the friendship the two friends had before the problem occurred. The item shows the friends second guessing their decisions.  Location : Our music video will be shot in two main places. One of the locations is a Maddie's house. We will shoot about 2-3 scenes here. The other big location is downtown near the beach and the beach. The closing scene will be shot at the beach. These are most likely the scenes were the video gets interesting. Schedule :  My...

       Hey blog! its me again. I will be starting my music video soon. Firstly I would like to introduce my group. I will be working with Madeline Merrick and Makenna Ricks. I choose to work with them because were able to go places to film and work on the project. I call Madeline maddie, and i met her at soccer. I met her when i was about 6 years old. We have played soccer together since then. I met Makenna in the 6th grade. We went to the same middle school, Maddie also went to the same middle school.  I also selected these people because we tend to work well together. The song we selected was "Are we still friends" by Tyler The Creator. This was chosen and agreed by all of us. It started off with a list of songs and slowly started to select some out, we pictured a video with the song and listened to the song carefully. We crossed some off because they didn't fit exactly what we were looking for. We made a group call and listened to each song together and gave ...

The positions I play are center back and center mid. In the future, I aspire to pursue a career in the medical field, with a particular interest ...
