Production Blog: Timing

Image
 Hello blog. We have advanced greatly. The editor fixed their phone. They fixed the flaws in our video. Our video is better than before. I suggested to add text to the video. It turned out good. We still have more things to work on. Hopefully we finish in time. The wifi connection has been going slow. It has been happening at school. We can work at home. The thing is, we have activities after school to do. We can meet up during study hall. It can be used as time to work together. Or, we can meet up on weekends. I; going to Miami this weekend so we cannot meet up. We have to find a time that is convenient for everyone. It is hard to do that with our busy schedules. Hopefully we find a date to meet up to finish everything on time.

Production Blog: Setback

 Hello Blog. We have come to a setback. The person editing the video's phone broke. It is delaying us in the video. We wanted to finish early. We're going to have to wait until her phone gets repaired. She tried to recover her editing account on her computer. She couldn't recover it. I attempted to edit the video. It did not come out well. Our other groupmate tried. She also failed. We might plan another date to meet up and film. We need to film more parts of the videos. They aren't that clear. We have to do it soon. We need to perfect everything because the due date is coming closer. I'm going on a flight next week. Our video needs a picture of an airport. We need it so the audience knows that the person is catching a flight. I'm going to take a picture at the airport. It'll be of the screens that show where the flights are going to.

Production Blog: Almost Complete

 Hello Blog. Every day that goes by, we get closer to finishing our video. Last weekend we filmed. It was fun to film the video. We have new ideas we want to add. We went to Ludji's house and used her brother. I met him and he liked me. I had to use her brother as an extra person in the video. We did not have enough people. In one scene, we had to show someone driving out. We had to ask Ludji's dad if we could use his car. He allowed us to. We stayed there most of the day filming. The editor in our group worked there too. She edited the video which took a while. Our video isn't done yet, but we are getting there. I asked my classmates for feedback. They gave us tips on what to do or add to the video. We will be using those tips to make our video better. We will fix things so the story is portrayed clearer. We want to make sure that when someone sees the video, they don't have to ask us to clarify anything. Overall, things has been going smoothly, but we have things to i

Production blog: Progression

 Hello Blog. We decided when we are going to film. It will be on Saturday. We spoke on the process. We used the storyboard paper to help. We will ask Ludji's parents for assistance also. We will film on an iphone. We want the most quality that there is. I have to practice how to lip sync. That is what I'll be doing in the video. We will decide if I have to dress up. It depends on the setting of the video. It also depends on what we do in the video. I might get a haircut before the video. I will do this to look nice. I will be editing the video. I have to get familiar with the editing platform. I will use my computer. I'll also talk with my teammates and give them feedback on things. We are progressing good right now. I am contributing in a good way.

Production Blog: Video Planning

 Hello Blog. The process of my blog is going good. My groupmates and I have been thinking about what what to do for the video. We have planned to do it at Ludji's house. I had to ask my mom for confirmation. She said yes. My groupmates had to ask for confirmation too. Their parents said yes. I picked out the song we are going to do. It took some convincing. After some consideration, my groupmates said yes. I've been coming up with ideas with how to do our project. I have also been looking at other videos. They have helped me with the angles. They have also helped me see the type of shots I should use. I've downloaded apps to adjust the video one we are done. My mom is into music videos so I asked her and she's helped. She told me what effects look good and which ones don't. The apps that I downloaded to edit the video is kind of complicated. I have to watch videos to learn them. I also have to ask my friends for assistance who edit things. This process has been pret

  Passionfruit by Drake Props : Sparkling water to disguise as champagne + champagne cups, phones for exchanement of text messages, and fake money to buy drinks with. Costume : Dress with leather jacket, suit, red pajama pants and an oversized t-shirt, red pajama Location : Filmed at Ludjmilla's house, on a saturday in the afternoon Backup plan : Filmed at the park, on a saturday, in the afternoon. We will use the same props and same costume despite the costume change.  The Story takes place first at a club with flashing lights and different camera angles.  The boy and the girl make eye contact and the boy goes over to the girl to start talking.  They feel a connections and exchange numbers  However, the girl isn't from Florida. She is from California.  This raises a long distance issue.  They continue to text over the phone until they see each other again

 Bruno Mars: That's what I Like  Cams High Angle- He looks up to the camera when it is in a high angle. Shot- He has a shot of him dancing to the Music. Medium Long Shot- Shows him dancing to the music. Tracking- When he walks to the side of the camera, it follows him. Clamps Lighting- The lights dim and get brighter during the video. Acting- Acts like he's dancing with a dog. Props- Sunglasses Sound Music- He is dancing to a song he made. Editing There is no editing Daniel Caesar: Best Part Camera Angles, Movement, Shots  • Wide Shot - Shows the sunset and the subjects I  • Medium shot- Shows the subject from the waist up  • Track shot- The camera moves along side the subject when walking along the shore  • Eye level - The subject is lip singing as he's walking along the shore  Costume, Lighting, Acting, Makeup, Props, Set  • Lighting - The lighting on the right side of the screen appeared darker so you couldn't see the subjects face in detail  • Costume- Both subjects

My group for the Music Video

 Hello blog. I am working with my friends. Their names are Ludji and Mai'lyia. I met Ludji last year and she is my best friend. I met Mai'lyia trough mutual friends and she's a good friend. Ever since she bought me chips I knew our friendship would last. I chose to work with them because of their drive. They are eager to do work and get work done. Every time they see me slacking, they make sure that I get back onto my work. They are also a good support system too. They check up on my mental health whenever I need it. That has really helped me throughout my school process. The also make me laugh too. We chose the song "Passionfruit". It was written by an artist named "Drake". We chose the song because of the beat. We liked how it sounded. We also wanted an upbeat song. We wanted a song by an artist we were all familiar with. It also doesn't have that many bad words in it. It was the top option out of all the songs we chose. I came up with the idea of

Introduction to the Music Video

  Hello, my name is Joel Francis. I attend Fort Lauderdale High School. I am in the 10th grade and taking AICE Media Studies As. I enjoy sleeping and playing football. I also enjoy going on vacations. This summer I went on a cruise to several different islands. We went to the Bahamas, St Maarten, Antigua, and Aruba. In my free time I go to the park or stay home and relax. I want to be an NFL player in the future and a mechanical engineer. Some things I don't like is failing to do something I tried very hard to accomplish. Also, I don't like quitting. In the past, I used to play soccer and I played baseball for one year but didn't like it. My mom took me out of soccer for middle school I tried football my 8th grade year and I enjoyed it so I kept playing. My hands gets injured a lot, so the doctors say that if I want to keep playing football, I have to take extra precautions to protect them. This year I might branch out and try different sports like wrestling or join a club.
