    Hello there, I'm back, in the last blog I wrote about how my group finished filming the last scenes, now it is time for editing, so before I can start talking about the process I went through editing I want to talk about a few changes that happened in the clips, so as I said before, Kason who was a member in my team had to leave because he was no longer part of the school, but together Gabriel and I convinced him to help film because even though he left the group, he still has own up to his responsibility of helping the team. So, even though he technically wasn't part of the team he helped us out, so because the cameraman was back, I decided to film again so the shots looked better so I could show that everyone did the best they could. In the storyboard, there was a scene that the team and I redid which was the mall scene, when Gabriel watched the mall scene it turned out that the camera was shacky and looked very blurry, so I didn't want to use that in the music vide...

    Hello there again! It is me again! In this blog I will be talking about the last two scenes my group had to do so we could finally edit. So in my last blog, I talked about how I filmed one of the scenes in my house, and how I needed help from my brother to film my shots, but because these three other scenes were filmed outside of my home it wasn't like I could bring my, brother, along with me to help us film just because the third member of our group left and he was our camera. I will say it was a very bad time for him to leave but there was nothing to do about it. Now let us move on and talk about my time filming with Gabriel, even though half our group was gone, both of us did our best to shoot good clips, on one day we went to the park, and the first shot was a tilt shot and there wasnt anyone on the first shot so it was easy to just film because either of us could've filmed, not for the second and third shot was something a bit tricky. The last two shots of the se...

    Hey there! I am back yay!,  I am bringing along good but at the same time some bad news. To have an idea of what this blog will be about I will be talking about my filming progress. Yes, yes finally my group has filmed hooray! To refresh, in my last blog, I was describing what the first scene to be filmed was going to be so that is what I will be talking about. As I wrote in the last blog, this scene was to be filmed at home, I will say it was pretty tricky to film without the cameraman but nothing that I couldn't find a solution to. In the storyboard, the bedroom scene starts off with a shot clip of the outside of my home so it can establish where the scene is taken from, the next shot was me in my bedroom, on my bed texting the other person, for this scene was a bit tricky because I was taking the video from my phone, but I needed a phone to show in the video, so I looked through my old stuff and found my old phone from three years ago. The way the video is tak...

 So hey there! I am back! So there's been a bit of backtracking about filming. It's not too big it's just that scheduling is all over the place but hopefully by the next blog I will be able to write about my first shot. So what am I going to talk about in this blog? Well I am going to talk about one of the scenes that will not need my other teammates, so this scene is about me in my own room texting, I thought this was a good idea when the team and I were developing the scenes for our music video. If in case one day one of the team members was not available to meet in person, like say the camera person, I wouldn't need to freak out because I would have a scene in which I could videotape myself without the need of my teammates to help me. Everyone thought it was a good idea so I incorporated that scene into the music video. In the planning of the video I was going to videotape tape and my teammate, Elizabeth, was going to play the female role in the music video alongside...

     Hey there! I am back, in this blog, I was going to talk about what my group filmed on the weekend but, that didn't really happen. I do have my reasons though, in all honesty, the group and I have mad time management so, it was hard to coordinate where to meet, and how to meet. The plan was to meet up in the park, the park is the first scene in the music video. However, I forgot to ask everyone if there were going to be any complications of meeting at the park. I thought everyone was going to be set but it was not, turns out my mother couldn't take me to the park, not only because it was a bit far, but because she didn't have time to drop me off because she had to be somewhere else, so that made it difficult to fil because I was the main person in the music video besides Gabriel, who I would say my co-star if I want to be technical. There was no point in filing one person when in the scene there are two people being recorded in the video because it is one of the ...

    Hey there! I'm back and ready to write, so I want to start off by saying that I am very excited to start this new project, making a music video seems so fun and creative, and now knowing I don't have to work alone is going to be interesting, I feel that working with other people will have its pros. So to dive into this new project, I have decided that I will be working with three other people including myself, their names are Elizabeth, Gabriel, and Kason. The reason I chose those people is that I am friends with all of them and with more people helping out with the project the work wouldn't be so heavy on everyone because each of us is doing their part to help out with the project. In class, each of us made a list of artists that could be a good choice, after thirty minutes into it, there were ten artists on the list, but it did take us some time to narrow the list, in the end, Mac Miller was the artist each of us agreed upon, now the only thing to do was to choose a s...

     Hey there, I'm back Blogger world. I'm Jennifer, or Jenn for short, I go to Fort Lauderdale High School, and I am doing the pre-law program that my school offers, knowing that this is my first blog ever I want to talk about myself so you can get to know me better, or what I like to call them "fun facts". To start, I am currently fifteen years old, and my birthday is on November 14, which in astrology makes me a Scorpio. I would consider myself to be a very introverted person, some people might think it's lonely like my extroverted friends who love being around people, but in all honesty, I enjoy my time alone, I find it calming to not be around people once in a while, I usually listen to my favorite artist which would be The Weeknd, but what I enjoy the most is when I am home alone and it starts to rain, It's such a peaceful environment and amazing time to read too. I am very into academics knowing that my future depends on my grades because I want to go ...
