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 filmed shots of them walking together, playing soccor together, and more. One of the scenes was at the bleachers, where "Parker" gives each girl a present. I really had to give some acting tips on this one, because they all did not look appreciative at all for the presents. Another scene which I really liked was when he throws a football and the girls cheer him on. 16

    After it got dark, we went to a boba shot to finish up. I filmed Gavin giving both Charlize and Sabrina necklaces, and I tried to do a cool thing where the camera starts up close to the boba and zooms out as it follows him walk up to Sabrina. We filmed a couple more scenes there, and then we went outside again to film the final scene in which the girls catch Gavin cheating! This was definitely the funniest scene to shoot... You'll see why soon enough. 

    It was such a fun day, and though awkward at times, I think it turned out pretty great. I guess you'll be the judge of that though. 

    Bye for now,

    Ella Valentina Agnese

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...
