The Music Video

Image
This is our music video! We worked really hard on it, so I hope you like it!

It's. Done. Omg.

    Pals. It is bittersweet that I have to say this, but... we've finished the music video!! It has probably been the longest, most hill-y process ever. So so many ups and downs, especially on my part... However, I had so much fun making it, and I learned a lot.      Without further ado, let's talk about the process of the final editing.      So, Charlize came to my house at around 6:30 p.m. After a bit of catching up (of course) we sat at my desk and got started.      The first thing we had to do was transfer all the clips over to my desktop. It was soo tedious, because the files were always to big to send. What we ended up doing was just cutting the clips down to what we agreed we were going to use, and then we emailed it to my computer.          We had a little discussion about our favorite clips, and while I deleted the ones we didn't like, Charlize got the music ready. She used CapCut to add this one part to the song that we wanted, but wasn't at the other part of

Let's Talk Editing

    Okayy pals, we're at the home stretch. Just one more step to go: editing. This is personally my favorite part, as it's where we get to see the whole thing come together.      It took us a while to figure out who was going to do the editing. Honestly, I really wanted to be in charge of it because I had an exact vision of how to the video was going to go, and I wanted it to look how I envisioned it. Of course though, I knew that my groupmates had to be involved in some way. Sabrina said that she didn't really know much about editing, but Charlize is pretty good at it. So Charlize and I are going to work together on Wednesday to get it done.      Charlize is going to come over to my house to do it, since I have this editing softwhare that my dad uses for work. It's a professional editing app called Movavi Editor. It's really simple and easy to use, and I think it'll turn out better quality than if we used something like CapCut. And I've used it a few times

Filming is Done! Woo!

    Pals! I'm soo excited to tell you that we are OFFICIALLY done with filming our video!     It's been a long, bumpy journey to get to this point, but we've made it. Honestly, at some points I didn't think we were ever going to. But look at us go!     There was one final hurdle we had to jump before filming a few days ago. Our original "Parker", who's actual name is Parker, couldn't work with our film schedule after all. It was very frusterating, but we were able to find a replacement. So on Saturday, Charlize, Sabrina, Gavin (our new Parker), and I all went to Holiday Park to film. 9     We tried to shoot in as many locations as possible so that it looked like they were different dates, however we forgot to bring a change of clothes, so that didn't really work out. We essentially filmed identical "dates" for each girl, to show that he was playing them and didn't actually care about them. So I had to do two for each location. I filme

It's Time... Making Our Idea Come to Life

    How's it going pals? It's been awhile...     Let me update you a little bit on what happened. Basically, I didn't get out of the hospital for another week after I last posted. They let me out, but I still couldn't walk or even sit up so I basically had to lie in bed for multiple weeks after that. And a couple days ago, I was able to start walking (not amazingly but well enough). Because of this, we immediately planned a day to film. 7     Even though I can kind of walk now, I feel kind of insecure about it. I look a little funny with the way I've been walking, so I asked Sabrina and Charlize if I could just not be in the video like we had originally planned. After a little bit of rearranging, we re-planned the video so that I wouldn't be in it. We also didn't use any of the locations we originally planned to use, but that was for convenience's sake. 4     As I'm not in the video, I took control when it came to filming. Charlize, Sabrina, and I me
