Forming a Plan

     Props - 

Due to the great expense that the location requires, much of the budget is not allocated to props. This is because the set will provide a majority of the props. Fake snow, lights, carnival food are just a few of the props that we may use in the music video.

    Costumes -

Like the videos we reviewed, the actors will be in warm, festive attire. Not as warm as those seen in the music videos due to the climate we live in, but warm enough to emphasis the season. The actors will be wearing colors like red, white, and green. Some will wear traditional Santa hats or reindeer antlers. 

    Schedule - 

11/19/22 - Finish researching, planning, and storyboarding the music video.

11/29/22 - Go to the theme park and shoot all scenes.

11/30-12/5/22 - Edit the footage and finish the music video.

    Location List -

We decided to film our music video at Santa’s Enchanted Forest, a Florida based holiday theme park filled with rides, decorations, and food. The music video will showcase a group of friends going through the park and enjoying it. As a result, multiple parts of the park will be shown. Additionally, the group will be shown getting in and out of a car.

    Backup Plan - 

If we can’t go to Santa’s Enchanted Forest, we decided on going to Tradewinds Park. The park hosts a drive through event where we can show Christmas lights and decorations. The park will be a much cheaper choice than

No One Likes a Third Wheel, But Now We’re a Car!

       For the previous projects, I have continuously worked with Joshua Newell and Aidan Jones. I have found that working with them has produced consistently good work. We are able to communicate well and our schedules coincide, allowing us to get a lot of work done. While all of this is true, our group decided to add another member to the mix. We have decided to team up with Randy Sweeting.     There were several reasons why we wanted to add another member to the group. Most of them came from our last project. When filming the music video, we had trouble splitting the work load. It was a bigger project than the first, and we wanted to include more actors. This posed a challenge to the three of us, because we would all have to be present on camera. Additionally, we wanted a different perspective. The three of us agree on a lot of things. As a result, we sometimes miss out on better ideas or more efficient practices because we are so likeminded.  ...

Get Your Popcorn.. Let’s Watch A Movie

 Now that the group has chosen what genre and concept we want our final project to be, it’s time to watch a few films that follow the conventions of the sports genre. Today’s film will be Creed 2, directed by Steven Caple Jr. and starring Michael B. Jordan alongside Sylvester Stallone. What elements (Conventions) of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this  movie have?   The elements of this picture that relate to our genre would be that it is louder, grander, and greater than the first one. By maintaining an emphasis on the humanity of its main characters, it is able to correct itself. More than any punch delivered in the ring, whether Rocky will see his son again and the tribulations of the recent Creed couple are the subjects of greater suspense. The boxing scenes are fascinating and fun. Also, it gives fans a feast of entertainment.  What elements (Conventions) of the genre did the movie have that you like?  I enjoy how Adonis and Viktor...

On the Nice List

 Upon further inspection, our footage wasn’t as bad as I described. We had a lot of salvageable shots. As a result, we are going to keep the footage we have already taken. However, we are going to go back to the park to take some simple shots to make the beginning less choppy. Thankfully, we won’t have to pay to be in the area of the park we have to film this at.  Plans to reshoot went well. We got the basic shots we needed to fill out certain spots in the video. Now, it’s time to edit. We choose to split up the work between us. This was to ensure that each of us had a say in the vision for the video. Splitting the work also alleviates the burden of editing it all by one’s self.  Unfortunately, the equipment I was using didn’t allow me to work with computer software to edit the video. The laptop I had was broken and unreliable, so I went back to the editing software I used in the previous project. I started by putting all the takes we took in a big project and muting each...
