A Much Needed Break

     Now that Thanksgiving break is over, I feel an explanation is owed for the lack of work my team did. The group was very busy this week. Each of us had jobs which we needed to be at. We were also celebrating the holiday with our family members, which kept us occupied for most of the break. Even though we did not film, we did get a lot of discussion done about the project. We simplified the vision we had for the music video on a whole. Using the rubric, we picked out specific shots that were required both for rules and for the flow of the video. 

     After much deliberation, my group decided that we wanted to choose another song for the video. We are staying in the same genre of holiday music but going in a different direction with the song choice. We have several reasons for the change. One major one is that the song is heavily romance based. We want to make our video about a friend group, so it wouldn’t make sense to have a romantic song. Additionally, the song starts off very slowly. Our first few scenes are of a character picking up the other two characters from their house and talking in the car. It wouldn’t work with the slow intro of the song.

    We have a few options for a replacement but we are undecided at the moment. The experience is very expensive, so my main goal is to make it count. We also decided to cut down on the amount of actors we had due to costs. This will make filming difficult, but we are going to do a trial run and see how it goes. We need to take as many shots as possible to get our money’s worth.
