 Hello World, The day officially arrived when it was time to edit the music video. First, I began uploading all of the scenes that we filmed on production day onto Capcut. Capcut is the editing software that all the editing for the music video. Then, I had to rearrange the clips to do in chronological order. The storyboard that was created earlier in the project process helped a bunch when it came to figuring out and remembering what order each scene goes in. The next thing that I had to do was input our song, but there was one small problem. The song "Love Me" by Justin Bieber wasn't already on the app. So, I had to download the song onto my phone, but I had to look up a bunch of websites to be able to download it and have the ability to add it into CapCut. Once I placed the song into the video, I began messing around with some transitions. To me, this was one of the most enjoyable parts of the whole editing process because I got to be creative and have fun with the vari...

 Hello World, WE FINISHED!!!!!! My group and I went to Barnes and Noble on Tuesday and we were able to finish filming the WHOLE video. But before getting to the location, we ran into some problems. The first problem was that one of the actors who was going to be one of the main character's friends told me 30 minutes before I left my house that he wasn't going to be able to show up. So, I asked my brother to be in the music video and he accepted the offer. The second issue was that my friend, who was also an actor, told me last minute that she wasn't going to be able to come either because she had no one to drive her. So, I offered to give her a ride to the location, meaning that problem was solved. Since I had to pick her up, I was going to be 20 minutes late from the 11 a.m. time that we originally placed for everyone to be there. But, that wasn't a problem since everyone was running late anyway. When I got to my friend's place, Madelyn (my group mate who was going...

 Hello World, So... we went to film on Saturday. In my opinion, it was a waste of time. I had a plan to film everything on Saturday but Michael (the person playing the main character) told me last minute that he was only going to be able to film for an hour. Then, Natalia (the person that was going to be Michael's friend in the video) also told me that she was going to only be able to film for an hour since she had to go to work. We all still went to see how much we were going to be able to get done. We were only able to shoot the first 3 scenes which wasn't too bad considering our circumstance. The filming process was so difficult, not because of the actual filming but we kept laughing the whole time. Since I'm the girl that our main character has a crush on, one of my closest friends (who is the person playing the main character), it was really awkward when he would have to stare at me as if he was in love with me. In a majority of the takes that we filmed, you could see ...

Hello World, So... we haven't begun filming yet. I feel like this is so delayed because it is. I wanted to start filming earlier but none of us had time and everything felt so complicated. First, we were having a hard time finding all of the actors that we needed for our music video. Second, we were never able to figure out a day and time when we would all be able to get together for us to actually film. However, we are going to begin filming on Saturday!!!! We are going to film at Barnes and Noble because it was the first and best library that we could find which checks off all of our requirements. I had to do quite a bit of research on which library we would be able to film at because we aren't allowed to film on any school grounds. We are going to arrive at our local Barnes and Noble at around 1 p.m. since I have plans before that time and it fits the schedule of everyone better. If I'm being honest, I'm really excited to start making the music video. I feel like it...

Hello World, Well, it's time to start making my new project. This new project that I'm making is a music video and we have already run into some difficulties. The first difficulty that we had was trying to find the main actor in our music video. What we are planning on doing is to have someone play Justin Bieber and have a girl who would be "Justin's" crush, which would be me. We had someone in mind that would've been the perfect Justin Bieber but after about a week of trying to convince him, we were unable to get him into being part of our music video. So, we were on the hunt again for another actor. The backup actor that we had in mind was my friend Michael. He is as hard-headed as the first person that we tried to bring into our crew but luckily after constantly asking and bugging him, HE ACCEPTED!!!!!! For the filming schedule, we planned to film on Mondays since it was the most convenient day of the week for everyone. However, lately, everyone has somethi...

 Hello World, My group and I got to the part of our project where we got to make a storyboard for our music video. Each box is a scene that will occur in our music video in the future, each scene will be a sequence of events. Box 1: Justin Bieber (JB) is walking into a library with his two friends to study. Box 2: The three boys walk into the library and JB notices that his crush is studying at the library as well. The girl was studying by herself. Box 3: When he saw her, he was mesmerized and looked at her as if she was the love of his life. His friends don't believe that anything is going to actually happen between the two of them (the girl and JB), so one of his friends tells him that he's a fool. Box 4: The girl is studying and minding her own business, she also doesn't notice that JB is there with his friends Box 5: It is a split screen. On the left, it shows that the girl is studying. On the right, it shows how JB can't stop looking at her, resulting in him d...

 Hello World, We have reached the next step in making this project which is planning . Today I will be talking about the planning blog, the planning blog will talk about what we prepared so far, including the music video. This blog will include the props, location, filming schedule, possible future plans, and costumes for the music video.  The song that we will be using for our music video is "Love Me" by Justin Bieber. The location we will be mostly filming the music video is at the library. We thought this would be a good place to film as it matched the genre best for our music video. Some other locations we planned to film include downtown Florida and the beach. The reason for this is because there are a lot of scenic places in those regions that would be perfect for filming.   For costumes, we decided a hat and sunglasses would be a major part of the costume since the lead who will be singing will wear the hat and glasses. As for clothes, it will be more casua...

 Hello World, We did some research for our music video... here it is Name of song: What Makes You Beautiful- by One Direction   CAMS : Uses many high angles with long shots (show an overview of the scene the ocean/beach), eye-level angles with a medium close up (some when a singular member's part came on it went into an eye-level angle to show just them), a few low angles (show them walking), used a few Dutch angles (one use when taking a pic with sparklers,   EDITING : Action match of when they were driving to the beach and when they were already at the beach. Fades out at the end to the beach. Fades into the beach. Many inserts such as when the clips of the girls they were supposedly singing about got inserted in.    SOUND : There was little ambient sound (at the end of the video the sounds of the ocean). All-diegetic sound (the song/the band sang it, but lip-synced it in the video)   MIS EN SCENE : T-shirts, 1 wearing short sleeve button up, wearing ...

 Hello World, When I got this assignment, I was really excited!!!! I knew in an instant who I wanted to work with. My group for this project includes my friends Madelyn, Shadae, and myself. I'm for sure not the only one out of the three of us who automatically thought about each other when the teacher said we could work in groups. One of the main reasons why I chose the two of them to be my partners was the fact that I already had a connection/relationship with them. As a result, it wouldn't be awkward when it came to filming, trying to figure out where we would do our project, badgering them to finish one of the assignments, giving honest opinions, etc. I also chose them because I knew that I could rely on them and that they wouldn't leave it up to me to do all of the work. Something I knew for sure was that I did not want to do this project by myself. A project of this size would be very difficult to produce with good quality and at the correct times, especially when I ha...

 Hi world,  I’m Giovanna Pereira and this is me (I guess). Well, I’m not really sure about what I should be saying so I’m just going to write whatever comes to mind. When I’m older, I want to be a lawyer (specifically a transactional lawyer) and I want to own my own law firm, I'd call it Dwell Law Firm. One of my greatest passions is God and the church. I'm extremely dedicated to the church and God has done the impossible in my life, so why not do the things that will make Him happy?! I'm currently a leader for a children's life group, I'm a host for a teen life group, and I'm part of a small team called the Enjoy X team. The Enjoy X team plans, sets up, and takes control of the Enjoy X services (which is a church service for teenagers). In my life group for children, I currently lead 5 children. Their names are Enzo, Bella, Rhyara, Alan (I call him alanzinho), and Ben. Those children are one of the best things that have come into my life and I am grateful every...
