First Scene- During this scene we will be filming a establishing shot     of the car. The location for this scene will be in front of one of the group members homes that is decorated and festive. We wanted to included     a Christmas tree on top of the car to show it is Christmas time. We also wanted to include this scene to show where the first few scenes will be taking place.   Second Scene- For this scene we will be using a wide shot of the car showing the 4 girls are now in it. We will still be in front of the house but we are getting ready to drive away. We wanted to include this scene to show all the girls in the car from an outside perspective before we showed in the car.  Third Scene- In the third scene we will use a jump cut to now show the inside of the car with the girls. This quickly transitions into a medium close-up of the girl holding her heart and lip syncing to the music playing in the car. We wanted to show the girls emotions before she gi...

Song Title:  The song we are using for this music video is “Last Christmas” by Wham! We wanted to do this song because it is one of the biggest classics of the holiday season. It is a staple for christmas times. Our group each has a connection to this song since we all love this song. Props: For this music video we need some props. Some of these props may include skates, a winter coat, a santa costume, christmas makeup and other festive accessories we may find as we go. Costumes: In this music video, the costume will consist of winter clothes to match the vibe of the song. Possibly a santa costume. The song takes place clearly during the winter season, meaning it would be cold. So, even though we’re in Florida, we will adjust to create the story of the song for our video. Film Schedule: On 11/7/22: Our group researched details about the song we wanted to make a music video on in order to create our own. On 11/11/22: Our group made some final decisions for roles, props, filming loca...

For this project I have decided to work with Sabrina, Sarah, and Michaela. This is the same group I worked with for the last project. I decided not to make any changes to the group that I worked with for the previous project. I chose to stick with these group members because I felt they all provided a special role in developing our project that I found to be very useful. Sabrina was very helpful creating ideas and gathering props necessary to the project. With this being a music video we have to be very creative so Sabrina’s skills will help a lot. Michaela is extremely artistic. This helped us design a realistic story board and helped create a beautiful setting. I feel like this skill will be useful now that we have to create a longer project and storyboard to go with it. Sarah was very time managing and great with editing. Editing was a very difficult skill for most of my group. So, having Sarah who was very tech savvy saved us when it was time to clean up the final product. I also f...

  Hey it’s me again, Lola Mackie! I finally finished my first project and it’s time to start another. I had a lot of fun filming the commercial so I can’t even imagine how much fun doing a music video will be. I have already learned so much about filming and editing but I am no where near perfect yet. Editing is still my weakest point when it comes to the final product but I’m working on it and I’m excited to continue doing so. I already know that I am going to enjoy working with my group in creating a fun music video to one of our favorite songs. Ok, enough about how excited I am now, about my life. First, one of my favorite things to do is play soccer. I play travel and varsity high school soccer. My favorite position to play is the right wing or forward. I play soccer at least 5 days a week and one day I am hoping to play college level soccer on a scholarship. In my free time the best thing to do is hang out with my friends. We love to go to the beach and binge watch movies. Whe...
