Setting Up To Flim

Image
 In a music video, multiple things come into play to produce a good music video. For example, the story is an important factor because that is what's going to be happening in the actual music video. Then we have to consider the setting in our music video we planned to use Kaydiane's house. We used her bedroom, bathroom, living room, and front door area in the house. We also recorded outside the house in her neighborhood and at a local park 2 minutes from her. Before we began filming we needed to get a few things, props. We needed film for our camera, flowers, and customers. Not only did we need to get our props but also food to feed our actors. We first went to Target for a film sadly the first location didn't have any.  We then proceeded to go to another location but they didn't have any either. As a result, we went to Walmart where we were able to find film. Lastly, we went to Publix where we picked up the flowers and the food for our actors. for food we got wings and

Three, Two, One, Action

Hey Blog, I'm back again. So, after our main male actor finally arrived, we began getting ready to start filming. Since he was late, we filmed scene 6, where the main female character (Chantae) and the friend of the main character (Leila) are sitting and talking about Chantae's crush. I began calculating how long the scenes should be so we only recorded a little or little. The scene we began recording was 4 seconds long. When our male characters came, we went to the outside of the park to film scene 1. Then, while we were still outside, we recorded scenes 2,3 and 7. Through our recording, I was calculating how long each scene should be. Leila, our female side character, helped a lot by giving us suggestions on different camera angles. For example, using a close-up in scene 7 and an over-the-shoulder shot for the swing scene. We also used a point-of-view shot in scene 9. She also showed us that using cinema would have focused better on each person's face, giving us better qu

Our Actor Almost Failed Us

Hey Blog, long time since we last chatted. As you all know, I've been working on a music video with a friend. We wanted to start filming as soon as possible so we started yesterday. We began by making sure everyone had transportation and we brought all our props and food for our actors. I had a game that morning, so Jaiden ( my group mate's brother/driver) picked me up from my game. We then headed to Target because we needed film for the camera. However, Target didn't have any film so we had to go to Walmart instead. Then, after that, we went to Publix and brought roses. We also brought wings Hawaiian rolls and an appetizer for everyone to eat. Then we headed to my group mate's house because that's where we were shooting our video and got set up.  Our female actors were on time and had their own transportation. However, of course, something had to go wrong. After a whole week of making sure our male actors wanted to be in the music video and were coming to shoot, th

My Group For The Music Video

For this project, I chose to work with my friend Kaydiance Coleu. You may or may not remember her from my previous commercial. I chose to work with her because we have been friends for so long (8 years) and our parents know each other. This will make my parents more comfortable allowing me to meet someone somewhere to film since they know her parents. Knowing this we could spend more time together and tell our parents we have to meet up with each other because this time we are working on a school project. Kaydiane is a hard-working student and though her GPA is bad she works hard to bring it up meaning she's a reliable friend I can depend on to help me. She always helps me in ways she can whether be school-related or not so I know she won't let me down now. Not only that Kaydiane already has people we are willing to be in our music video. As you can see she's already trying to get ahead. Other than the fact that Kaydiane is an awesome student and friend being in a group wit

Introduction To The Music Video

 Hi, my name is Felisha Gedilus and in this blog, I'm going to be introducing myself so you all can get to know a little more about me. I was born on May 10, 2007, at Broward Hospital in Fort Lauderdale.  I'm currently a junior attending Fort Lauderdale Highschool and I'm 16 years old. This year I am taking four Aice Classes which are: Aice Thinking Skills, Aice Media, Aice U.S History, and Aice English Language. My favorite colors are blue and purple. My favorite as of right now are Philly cheesesteak subs, and Haitian mac and cheese. I've been 5'3 since 7th grade and I weigh around 113-119 pounds. After school, I like to take part in sports even though I could improve at them for example, cross country, basketball, and track. My favorite season is winter because Florida is always hot and it is that one time of year when it's not as hot. My favorite shoes I owe right now as my Unc's Toe Jordans 1's or my basketball shoes. I think I don't like what m
