AICE Media Studies

 So I had Thanksgiving break, where I could've started filming, which was the plan. But I didn't do anything for the music video. Disappointing, I know, but before break I finished planning; found my actors, where to film, and the story. But I had a bunch of work to do for other classes, and by the end of the week I went to Orlando for Thanksgiving. Not only that, my friends that I asked to be in my video were also busy, so everyones schedule and time was messed up. So I pushed filming to this week. A little background information, both of them are seniors and are super busy. They either have jobs or just a bunch of work to do for school and college admissions, so I kind of have to work with their time. One of them can't do Monday or Tuesday, the other one works on Friday, and I have plans for Thursday. That leaves Wednesday and the weekend for us to film. I would have to talk to both of them to select a date and time for this week because I wont have time to edit as much w...

 First Scene: In this scene there will be someone walking out of a house and beginning to walk somewhere. Will be a medium shot of this subject, #1, then will turn into a tracking shot of them walking out into the distance. Second Scene: Once again in this scene the camera will move a bit. It will show #1 walking up to a table and sitting down while staring at someone, #2. It will begin as a tracking shot, very minimum though. As #1 sits down they will looking completely mesmerized by #2, this is where the acting really comes in. Third Scene: This scene might need more editing, depending how far my skills go. It could be like a ripple or like a fade out into this scene. Basically this scene will be a "daydream" of #1. In this dream #1 and 2 are sitting together reading a book, laughing, overall just enjoying each others company. There might be more scenes added to show the amount of daydreams #1 is having for the next scene to make sense. Fourth Scene:   This scene #1 comes b...

 So for the music video I have an idea of what I want to do. I just need to figure out exactly how I'm going to do it or present it. I want to show a story and I want it to match the lyrics of "All I Want for Christmas is You." The overall idea is for some to have a crush on another person, and the video is just them watching and singing of how they want to be with this person. But they are too shy until the end of the video they finally talk to them. Throughout the video we can show them day-dreaming about them depending on what lyrics are shown. Props/costumes/sets: -For sets I will either need some type of work place or school to show this crush this person has. They would have need to see them a few times so it needs to be a common place they both frequently go to. - Since its Christmas I will have winter clothes to show its cold. Like leggings or jeans, a jacket/sweater, maybe a hat depending on what I have or my actors have. For decorations to make it seem like Chri...

 So for this music video I will be using the song "All I Want for Christmas is You," by Mariah Carey. Her video begins with a girl looking at her, the snow, and Santa. Then the snow is like magic making her go into a winter wonderland as she sings and dances. Then ends with the girl leaving and winking at Mariah Carey. - In all of scenes the sets are like stages while she preforms. As she "preforms" for the girl the angle show her and her background dancers. She has 3 different locations; winter wonderland, the grand stage with stairs, and the outside of a building (that being "real life"). -All costumes are in winter clothes or Christmas related outfits. Like the nutcracker, Santa, candy canes, polar bears, and angels. - Her overall idea is showing she is in love but she is saying it to the little girl. Like telling her a story by singing it. -There are props everywhere to show the season and place. -There is a lot of editing in beginning and end to show ...

 So last project I had a partner but he wasn't the best. I feel like having him as a partner made me not show my full potential. During it he kept pushing things off, and didn't know how to do things even though he offered i would have to do it over again. So i ended up doing most of it. He just needs to care more and i don't want to risk it again. It was a mistake but I learned from it. I still want to work with someone because there will be a lot going on and I feel like it would be better with a group. But a lot of the previous groups are staying in the same groups and have enough people or are friends. It would be weird for me to just go in and be in their group. So I think the best is for me to work alone. It might be challenging but I feel like i wont have to depend on anyone or have them depend on me. I can work on my own schedule. I will have all the work but thats how I felt with a partner so i think this is best. Now with that done my next issue is what song am i ...

 Hey! I am back to start another project. This one is going to be longer and I have to get more creative with it. Although I know the basics to making these videos and I did the commercial so I kind of know what I am supposed to do. I feel like the last project doesn't represent my best, I can do way better. Eventually I will learn and grow from what I had. It might be hard though, for the last project i had a lot of issues. My partner wasn't the best, I didn't feel like it was a group project. Due to both of our schedules we had very short timing to film, planning got a bit changed. Moral of the story a lot of things just went to wrong way. Good thing though i was able to figure it out and make do with what i have so this time with everything planned and done right it, it will be better. But let's move on from the past and think of what I am going to do for my music video. I am so excited and nervous at the same time. I am not sure what i am going to do or how but i ha...
