Planning Music Video

1. For our location we will be filming at the Galleria Mall and the beach. We chose to film here because it is a nice area and everyone is able to meet up at this location. In case this doesnt work we are going to meet up at Hagen park on Wilton drive because it is also very close and easy to get to.


2. For our Health and Saftey we will make sure to buckle up when driving, be aware of surroundings, and make good decisions. We will also make sure no one has food allergies to insure saftey. By doing this we will be safe and have no problems during the filming process.


3. The props we will be using in this video is a car in which we will dance in front of  and lean on. We will also carry money and show it off as a prop. The final prop is food, in the music video Drake is seen giving homeless people food. We are using the car and money to show that we are on the up rise and doing good.


4. The costumes that we will wear when we are filming is a gold chain and hats. We are dressing this way because in the Gods plan music video they dress like that.


5.  The schedule that we will be following is next class 11/20 we will story board for the video. On 11/24 we will film our music video at the given location. On 11/26 we will dump our footage on to the computer and begin the editing process. It is then Thanksgiving break we get back on 12/2 and the next class period is 12/3 we will then finish editing and be done that day. The due date is 12/9 so we will have two class periods to fix anything we did not like and will perfect it and turn it in.

Music Video Research

Today we were introduced to our Music Video project. We have to decide as a group on what song and how we want to do our video. For example , if we want to lip sing it or etc. I’m really big on music so I’m really excited about doing an actual music video. Music has had a big influence on my life and the way I see it. I feel as if this will be the most fun thing I’ll do in high school.

When choosing the song it was a difficult choice. Two of our teammates were not here and were not answering the phone. I preferred songs from the rap genre and Michael preferred songs from the pop genre. Michael and I looked through lists of the top songs and had different opinions. We finally found a song we both enjoyed we agreed on "Gods plan" by Drake. We both like Drake and Gods plan is a mixture of pop and rap. It falls under the genre of pop-rap which was perfect. It has a very catchy beat and the lyrics are well written. Michael texted the other group members and they finally answered and agreed with our choice. Gods Plan is the perfect song for our group.


We started doing more research on the genre and learned a lot. The costumes that are usually seen in the pop-rap genre are comfortable stylish outfits with jewelry. The lighting usually seen in this genre is bright and uplifting. The acting in this genre is cool, not too much like pop but not too much like rap in the middle. The makeup in the genre is nothing insane, it looks natural. The props in this genre varies on what song but cars are usually used as a prop. The setting that is commonly used by the pop-rap genre is usually around a city area or in a house in a neighborhood not like the suburbs or an abandoned place. The genre has a similar sound it's a good beat with not too much rap but not too much pop. The editing in these videos aren’t t too complex and are pretty basic.

Final Blog for Commercial

The last two class periods we've been working on editing our commercial. I felt like this was the most fun thing to do during the process of making the commercial. In a previous class our teacher taught us how to use Pinnacle Studios. We could not edit our commercial when we wanted to so we had to get our raw footage clip to Michael's google drive. Our group was excited to start start editing for the first time. We had to pull out our notes so we could remember exactly everything we needed to do for the commercial. First we imported our commercial folder which was filled with the raw footage. That process took a while so we brainstormed what general idea we had for our commercial. Our commercial was pretty simple so brainstorming was not a big issue.

On the first day we got a lot done. Once the footage imported we got working on the commercial immediately. We went through are raw footages and decided which ones we wanted to use. We recorded each clip at least twice just incase something would've been wrong. After figuring the 5 clips we wanted to use it was time to put it together. Fulvio dragged the clips together. When we edited something it would take a couple seconds to render which was annoying in my opinion. By the time class ended we had our clips in the right order we just needed to add finishing touches.

On the last day Michael got our computer. We didn't waste no time so we could get this commercial done. Michael opened Pinnacle Studios and our stuff was still there. So today we added the sounds and transitions. I did not know it was so much transitions we could use. Edguardo put the transitions and I gave him the advice. After adding all of that in it was time to export. The export took about 5 minutes maximum. We had to put it as a MPEG also. We found it after about 2 minutes , then we were done. At last we submitted it to our teacher.
