Hello Again! This blog will go over what we will be doing with this project and what we plan to do with the video. We will go over the props we need and what we will be doing at what dates. We are recording a music video for "Happy" by Pharrell Williams. The props we will need to make this music video will be Silly String, Beach Ball, and Party Poppers. We will also need costumes. Our costumes will be Bright Pastel Colored dress shirts. I want to go all out and think these costumes will fit the Happy themed music video. Me and my groupmates need to discuss our personal schedules and plans in order to set a film schedule after that, we will also have a backup plan. The location for the Music Video will be Friedt Park in Lauderdale-by-the-sea. We chose Friedt Park because there are many walkways and one of them has nice pastel blue walls which will fit the music video. We will not be doing any explosions or anything that might be dangerous so we don't really need any protoc...

 Hello Again! So, unfortunately we will not be doing the San Andreas Theme song and that is because it doesn't have any lyrics. So, we found a new song and honestly, we all agreed that it is better anyways. We chose the song Happy by Pharrell Williams. Going through the process of loking for this song, we started with the surroundings of our originally planned filming location. It is a very sunny place with bright colors. So, we thought it would be good to match that. We decided to choose the song Happy to match the setting of the music video. Other happy songs we thought of in the process were "Can't Stop the Feeling" but we thought that Happy was a much better option because there are many really long stops in the middle where we can end the video to fit the 1:15 time frame. We are also excited to do Happy because it is a very bright song and can be very cinematic. The landscape in the filming spot will match the song so well. We are very HAPPY to be doing this song...

 Hello Again! This blog will go over what we will be doing with this project and what we plan to do with the video. We will go over the props we need and what we will be doing at what dates. We are recording a music video for the GTA San Andreas theme song so we are trying to go for a 90s Gangster rap music video vibe. First of all, we will need Props. The necessities to make this music video will be Prop Money, we will need Bikes so we can film a cool wheelie scene. We will also need costumes. This will esentially be any 90s outfit that anyone might have (Oversized jerseys, Pastel colored clothing, Snapbacks, and chains... etc.) We will be wearing 90s clothing to be in character with our 90s themed music video.  Me and my group mates need to discuss our personal schedules and plans to set a film schedule or a backup plan. The location will be Lauderdale-by-the-sea. We will not be doing any explosions or anything that might be dangerous so we don't really need any protocalls. ...

    Hello Again! Doing research for this project was much easier because of our experience from the last project. During the process of doing research we had discussed many songs including Blinging Lights, a synthpop song by The Weeknd which we quickly decided not to do because of its length. We recognized that the Music Video had to be at most 1:15 so we decided to do a song that can easily be edited into a song of that length. My group has made the final decision on doing a Music Video for the Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Theme Song by Michael Hunter! This song has no music video but it has a very distinct sound somewhere between the genre of 90s Hip Hop and 2000s Hip Hop. It has many cut versions which we can use to fit the time frame and has a gangster vibe from the 90s LA Hip Hop scene. We are excited to use this song because there are many places in my neighborhood that have an old deco look that might resemble the 90s. I am mostly excited about doing this song because i...

     For this project, I will be working with Thomas and Angel. I have not had any classes with Thomas nor had I really talked to him up until 2 days ago but we have mutual friends and seemed to get along very fast. I had just met Thomas last class period and he seems like a good partner to work with. He seems very productive which will be better because my former groupmate and I were distracted easily which was probably because we are friends. I knew of Thomas earlier this year through mutual friends but haven't truly talked to him. I do not know Angel, he is a friend of Thomas' and he seems nice and I think we will get along well. For the last project, me and Lucas had many disagreements which wouldn't usually be a problem but in this case it was a little too much disagreement. So that is why I decided to change groups. I am excited to work with new people and I hope to be more productive on this assignment than the last. I think we will make a great group because we ha...

Hello Again! I am excited to be back and working on a new project. I look forward to showing you my progress in making this Music Video. For now, Allow me to reintroduce myself.  I am a sophomore at Fort Lauderdale High and am taking AS Media Studies. Here is a little bit about me: My favorite thing to do on the weekends is to watch football, particularly college football. My favorite college football team is Oklahoma because my dad went there. When it is not football season, I enjoy watching the Florida Panthers and Miami Marlins. I mostly enjoy going to sports events, I even once haggled the bullpen for a baseball at a Marlins game. I also enjoy playing sports! I play tennis. I'm not particularly good at it, I just like playing it for fun. On a rainy day, I usually end up playing chess or doing my homework. I also enjoy playing video games. My favorite videogames to play are Forza and NCAA 14. I play games on a 3rd generation console, so I can only play old games. I enjoy listeni...
