Hello and welcome back to my blog ! Thankfully Andres was feeling better. This meant it was time to start filming. Since it was a school day, I asked my mom if she could pick all of my group up from school and bring us to the film location. Luckily, she was able to do so.  When I got to the set, the first thing I needed to was change my outfit. The jeans and crop top I had on didn’t really match the character I was playing. Since I was portraying an older woman, I decided to pack a white sweater to wear instead. I also wanted to change into a skirt, but I decided to stick with my jeans instead. This felt much more mature and comfortable!  For the first few scenes, the only person present was Marvin, who was playing the lead role. About an hour into our filming session, it was finally my turn to shine. The first scene I had to film was me hugging Marvin as he was cooking. Despite all my research into natural looking acting, I really struggled with this scene. Since we were frie...

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.

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...

Storyboard Blog: Mapping Things Out

Hello and welcome back to my blog! First Scene: In the first scene, an over-the-shoulder shot and medium close-up will be used to see our material girl getting ready for the day while looking at the mirror. This scene will be filmed at Isabel's house, not at the mall.  Second Scene: In the second scene, our actress will be on her way out while grabbing her car keys and walking to her car. This scene will be filmed from behind at eye level to help transition between the two locations.  Third Scene:  In the third scene, our material girl’s car will pull up to the mall. Surrounding designer stores will be shown as the car drives by. As it begins to slow down, it would be filmed using a tracking shot at a high angle.  Fourth Scene:  In the fourth scene, our actress will get helped out of the car and will have a line of boys waiting for her. To display her elegant outfit, a tilt will be used before it transitions into a wide shot to show all the boys around her....
