Group Blog: Switching Things Up




Hello and welcome back to my blog. For my upcoming project, I decided to switch up my group and work with some new people. Working with Mya and Marvin was a great experience. We divided up the tasks equally, got everything done on time, and had very clear communication. Nonetheless, I wanted to work with my other friends, as I thought it would be more fun. Moving into this second project, my standards for group members have not changed. I still look for responsible and hardworking teammates. With all of this in mind, I decided to work with my friends Isabel, Hailey, and Alessandra. 

I met Hailey back in ninth grade at our orientation. She was super sweet and we quickly became friends. besides her amazing personality, she is also very hard-working. Not only does she juggle multiple college and honors level classes, but she also earns top grades in these classes. With her ability to stay highly organized, I knew she would make an amazing group member. I met Isabel at the beginning of the school year in my court procedures class. She was very kind to me and her humor made every class enjoyable. Isabel also is very intelligent and has great problem-solving skills. If we meet any obstacles while making our music video, I'm sure she'll be the first person to find a solution. The last person in our group is Alessandra. I met her at the beginning of the year in my AICE Media class. As I got to know her, I saw that she was a hard worker and an amazing person like everyone else in the group. With everyone being such good friends, working together will be much easier as there is no awkwardness. 

While we are all unique and have our own interests there are some things we all had in common. Not only do we all love pop music, but we also have a great interest in social issues. Because of this, we made the decision to choose a pop song. The song that we ended up choosing is Material Girl by Madonna. I really love this song and can't wait to see what my group creates. This is Kyra signing off!

Planning Blog: Storyboard

  Hello and welcome back to my blog! Page One: The film starts with a teenage girl, named Hailey, being awoken by the sound of her blaring alarm clock. An eyeline match then cuts to a close up of the alarm clock. A title is placed above it before she hits snooze. Next, a close up of shows Hailey’s feet as she steps out of bed. She stretches to wake up before yelling out to her mom. When she hears no response, she decides to stumble into her bathroom to get ready.  Page Two: Once in the bathroom, Hailey bends over into the sink to wash her face. A title is placed above her head. After washing her face, she examines in the mirror before leaving the bathroom. Using a tracking shot, the teen is followed out into the hallway where she calls out for her mother again. A title is placed on the closed bathroom door. Hailey then peers out into the hall using an over the shoulder shot. A title is shown on the wall beside her. A pan is used to show the empty living room, which prompts a f...

Review Blog: The Final Touches

Hello and welcome back to my blog! My journey through this music video process has been an interesting one, but it is now coming to an end. However, we still had one last issue. Something was missing from our editing in our music video, but we weren't sure what it was.  At first, I thought it was clip lengths. Maybe the scenes were too long and therefore making the video seem boring or uninteresting. When I rewatched the video, I realized it wasn't the length, but instead the editing. I brought this up to my group members and they agreed that we needed to add another editing technique to our video. After some deliberation, we decided to add a split screen at the beginning of the video. This split screen would allow us to show more of the getting ready process in an easy and eye-catching way. It also wouldn't add any extra time to the video.  Now that the minor issues were resolved, it was time to review the video. While reviewing the video, I counted out all the mise en sce...

Update Blog: Far From Home

Hello and welcome back to my blog! This week I planned on continuing my filming process. The first thing I wanted to do was check out the filming location. I knew that the mall was abandoned, so I was concerned about getting inside and whether it was safe to go. However,  this week I am away on a school trip hours away from the  mall. This meant I wasn’t able to visit until I got back. So, before going to the mall, I decided to look for reviews from others who have.  The first place I went to was my friend who lived in Hollywood. He told me that he visited the mall some time back and that it was safe structure wise. However, I was warned about homeless people in the building. This caused some safety concerns for me, as I didn’t want to run into anybody who could be potentially aggressive or violent while filming. I alerted my group about this concern and we all decided to avoid filming in any part of the mall that had someone present.  The next thing I wanted to figu...
