  Storyboard for my Music Video First Shot: The main character is seen laying in bed and wakes up. The shot will be a wide shot to show not only the main character but their room as well. The main character will be in their pajamas in their bedroom. Second Shot: This shot will show the alarm clock with the time slightly after 12 to match the lyrics. The shot will be a close up. Ideally, the alarm clock will be pink and sparkly to match the main character’s personality. Third Shot: This shot will be an extreme close up of the alarm clock, zooming in from the previous shot. Fourth Shot: This shot will be an aerial shot of a breakfast meal. This shot will be in the kitchen, but it will not be clear in this shot. Fifth Shot: The next shot will be another aerial shot but will show more. The main character will push the plate away. The main character will still be in pajamas. The kitchen will be more shown in this shot. Sixth Shot: This next shot will be a medium long shot of the main ch...

That's a Wrap!

    Today was FINALLY our last day of fliming. Today was a school day, and with our group having busy schedules, it was the only day we could all take the time to film before the project was due. My group and I all rode to Siena's house for filming together. After arriving, I took a small break before having to get ready to film. After I finished, I helped to plan every scene and it's layout out with my group memebers. It was decided that the scene to be filmed first was the sleepover scene, one of the last scenes in the video. Kaitlyn, Camille, and Siena got dressed in pajamas and brought pillows and blankets to the living room. It was suggested that a movie play in the background of the scene, and so we played the first 'Twilight' movie. I filmed the first shot, which took a few tries, mainly due to Siena's dog getting in the way a lot of the time. I then filmed the next shot, which showed the three girls sitting on the couch and enjoying snacks. I filmed one last...

Going to Finish Editing Over The Weekend

    In class today, we were able to use some time to work on editing our video. One of our partners, Kaitlyn, was unfortunately absent. She was getting surgery done, so we didn't expect to hear from her today for feedback. This did make it a slower process, but luckily we weren't really put too far behind. Although we didn't finish, we got a good amount done. Right now, we (more so me than anyone, as I am the editor) are working on getting the clips on beat with the music. We want it to sound as smooth as possible, and we want the vidoes to flow with the music. We decided against any fancy transitions, and are just having the scenes cut from one to the other. I can say with confidence that the commercial is coming out exactly how I pictured it. I was kind of scared that it wasnt going to come out looking the way we wanted, but it looks great so far! And I'm sure it'll look ten times better once we finish it. For future projects, I would love to work with Camille and...
