The plan

Hey Gems. 

Today I will be talking about how my group mates an I will be planning our Music video out. Our song choice was "Are We Still Friends" by Tyler The Creator. 

Props: In our music video we will be using props. One of the props we will be using is a cellphone. The cellphone is one of the most important parts of this music video. In our music video the cellphone shows evidence for one of the characters. Another one of our props is a friendship bracelet. This item signifies the friendship the two friends had before the problem occurred. The item shows the friends second guessing their decisions

Location: Our music video will be shot in two main places. One of the locations is a Maddie's house. We will shoot about 2-3 scenes here. The other big location is downtown near the beach and the beach. The closing scene will be shot at the beach. These are most likely the scenes were the video gets interesting.

Schedule: My group and I have decided to meet up at least twice a week. We first met up on our Professional study day. That we all agreed on our song and proceeded to brainstorm on our story. At the end we decided to meet up on the weekend and one weekday. When we need to get work done online we call each other and discuss everything we need. 

Backup plan: Since our locations will vary both inside and outside we had to make plans about change of location. If we are not able to film at the beach due to certain events that happen we will record at a pool. If it is stormy and we are not able to do that either we decided to fill a tub with water and drown there. Most of the inside locations are at Maddie's house, if for some reason we are not able to film there we will relocate to another house or into a lounge inside of hotels and etc. 

Costume: In our video we will not be using exact clothing. We will wear day to day clothing. In one of the scenes we go to the beach and we will be in the water wearing bathing suits. Most of the clothing we will be using is summer time clothes. Our video is mainly in an outside area, therefore we will not be wearing hot clothing for majority of the video.   

That's most of what we have planned for our music video to run smoothly. Because if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. I'll see y'all in the next one. 



Keep shining. 

Sincerely, 

Makenna Jewels <3

Production: Filming; The Man in the Mirror (maze)

Hey Gems. Welcome back as promised here is the blog were I felt everything went wrong. But we'll get into that. This blog is not A Glimpse in my Chaotic Mind, because I wouldn't have done that, rather a look into someone else's mind. Let's just get into this.  First how do you work at a fair and have the most unapproachable attitude I have ever seen in my whole 16 years of living. Like if you don't like people don't work at fair. Like hello. So as y’all know the mirror maze was a major part of our film. Yes I’m using past tense because that dream came crashing down real quick. So. we mostly filmed in order of the scenes. We beforehand asked each ride or game attendee can we film. When we asked Mr. Attitude’s response was “no, how many?” Then when we were trying to explain the situation to him he just scanned the game-card and told us to go in. However we were what for it to clear so we could get a good take. He doesn’t care at all.  Now that we had captured the ...

Music Video CCR

Hi Gems. It's that lovely time again. Reflection blog. Seeing what I've done or didn't do to learn from it. So let's get right into this. The most common convention seemed to be the actor (in most cases the singer) lip-syncing to the lyrics during all or most of the music video. However for us lip-syncing did not align with the section of the song we chose to use. We also told a story which is a consistent convention within the genre, majority of these have ambiguous endings, similar to our video. This was because the major event had happened. What was filmed was one piece of the puzzle. What followed was left to the viewer as the question 'are we still friends' was proposed. If was the resolution of the video even though it did tie up all the loose ends. This allows the views to form their own conclusions about the relationship of the friends after the music video has ended.  I would not say the video deals with a major social issue but friends murdering each o...

Production; Wrapped in black

Hey Gems.  I hope you enjoyed my rant about about motorcycles last blog. Today's blog is going to be less aggressive. Yes, I know the title is deceiving. But what do you expect when this is a glimpse into my chaotic mind. However today is all about my costume. Let's get into this.   My character Amanda (spoiler) is the stalker so we decided all black would be the best option.  A hoodie was also included in the outfit as to make to reveal more dramatic. Shall we break this outfit down like they do on the red carpet.  A black hoodie that was slightly oversized to have a hood that would cover my face. The face covering that was actually a black scarf which was used instead of a face mask. And I think the worst decision made on my part, black boots with an wedge. Don't get me wrong I love my boots but as a stalker running around a fair, a pair of Converses would have been a relief. The hoodie and boots were paired with dark blue jeans. Side note the nails ...
