My Group for the Music Video

    Hi pals!

    Today, we were tasked with the assignment to create a music video. For this project, we were able to choose to work with a group. I decided that I think it would be beneficial to work with a group, so I chose two of my best friends: Charlize and Sabrina. I didn't only choose to work with these girls because they're my best friends. I chose to work with them because they're both very smart and hardworking, and I think all of our talents and hard work combined will come together to make a great video. I'm not worried about us getting sidetracked or off task, since all of us really care about what we do and will want to make the best music video we possibly can. And, if I have to be honest, I think working with them will just be really fun and we'll have a great time. 

    We've already been flooded with ideas, brainstorming nonstop. We even have an entire notebook page full of ideas for a theme, song, and general plan! This does include our song choice as well. It was hard choosing a song, since we had so many ideas and great options that we didn't know what to choose. After careful consideration, however, we chose the song "This Love" by Maroon 5. The main reason we chose this song is because we think it's perfect for the idea we have for the music video, which will be revealed in a future blog. We also all love the song, and the beat is really nice. As a friend group with really different music tastes, it was honestly surprising we were able to agree on a song as quick as we did.

    I'm really excited to start officially planning and storyboarding the video! I'm also especially excited to start filming, which I think will be the best part of the whole thing! We'll see how it goes. 

    Until next time!

Hmmm… Decisions, Decisions

      What’s up guys! What’s going on? It’s been a minute since I’ve been able to blog without guidelines!      Sabrina, Charlize, and I had a talk today about roles in our final project. We don’t have a “team leader” or anything, so we need to decide who does what in order to make sure everyone gets something done. As in, who plays the characters, who’s doing the voice over, who’s actually filming everything, etc.      This is a really important step in the process since for our music video, we had some disagreement about it. We all agreed that we can’t let that happen again, so that’s why we did this.      So, to start, we determined our actresses. We talked about having me as an actress, but I honestly don’t really feel comfortable in front of the camera. So instead, Sabrina is going to play Madeline. Charlize said that she had a very specific way she imagined the voice over being done, so she wanted to do it herself. T...

Editing Blog: What's That? We're finished?

      WHAT'S UP PALS!!! I am superr hyped right now. Why? Because we're done with our opening sequence!      So, like with the music video, Charlize came to my house to edit. We used the same editing software, Movavi editor, to do our final project. First, she, Sabrina (who was on facetime with us), and I made a game plan. We went through all the scenes we already filmed and discussed which ones we'll use and what order they'll be in.      Then, we put them all into the software. The files were way too big to email, so I had to create a new Google account and back the videos up on Google Photos. This was the easiest way to get them onto my computer.      Getting them onto Movavi was a whole 'nother deal. For some reason, the videos downloaded in the wrong file format, so they didn't work with Movavi. There was no way to download them differently, so I had to screen record each one and upload the screen recordings to Movavi. Alt...
