Planning for Music Video

While starting this project we quickly decided on many things. Such as our song, Violent Crimes by Kanye West. Alexa Delgado choose this song and brought up the general idea of what she wanted it to be about. We talked it over and planned out what we wanted for each scene in depth. We then asked a friend named Ezekiel Morales who isn't apart of this class if he would like to be one of our main actors along with Paola D'orazio and he agreed. We wanted to really incorporate a sort of color scheme that really can connect to the scene beginning presented. So we thought that having a room with LED lights would really help to convey the moods needed for the music video. So we decided to have the location take place in Alexa's room because she has them on the boarder of her ceiling. We were going to begin filming on Saturday the 21st of November and try to complete as much as we can. We were then going to continue whatever we had left for the following day. If we had anything else to add we would've done it over Thanksgiving break and finish. Sadly though, the day before we were going to film, Friday the 20th of November, Alexa's house caught on fire and her entire room was burnt. She lost two of her computers and the paper the story board was written on. Needless to say, we had a few set backs. Alexa was super busy trying to fix the house, so we really couldn't do anything for much of Thanksgiving break. Thankfully Ezekiel offered his house as our location to film. He also has LED light on his ceiling which we were super relieved about. Sunday November 29th was our makeup day of filming and we did a good amount of scenes over there. Then on the 30th to the 1st Alexa slept over my house and the 2nd to the 3rd I slept over her Airbnb where we finished up a lot of the scenes due to the house fire. Most of the costumes for our music video are just going to be normal attire, but the make up will occasionally be made to look as though the actress is crying.

Music Video Intro blog

 For my music video project, I've decided on working with a partner. The person I have chosen to work with is Alexa Delgado. I've worked with her on previous projects before this one. Even on the projects that we were supposed to work individually, she'd always offer to help with anything I needed. We've known each other since kindergarten, and I believe this is the main determinant of why we work so well together. We also already see each other on a daily basis because we live so close together. She is one of my best friends, and we really understand each other, so we tend to have a lot of things in common. Like for example, our taste in music. Alexa brought up the idea of choosing the song violent crimes by Kanye West, which we then concluded as the song for our project pretty quickly. Our video is going to portray the deeper meaning of this song. Kanye was basically talking about the uneasiness of his daughters growing up. The underlying message of what girls have to...

Filming Blog: Volleyball gym

On Sunday the 25th of October I went over to my friend's house so that we can prepare to film at a park near her house. While waiting in the house it started to rain. I then decided to reschedule filming later on in that week because I had other factors that ended up making me decided that I would now need to film indoors in a gym. Because I had volleyball practice, the only day I could film were the 29th and 30th of October after practice. I had to ask my coach prior to filming if it was okay. While filming I had my main actress named Amelia who was willing to do whatever I told her I needed, which was extremely helpful. In the opening scene, I really wanted to start off by emphasizing the intensity of the commercial to come. I did this by doing a tilt shot from her shoes to her face. Then an establishing shot of where she was which was a high school gym. Since the commercial is advertising Gatorade I really wanted to exemplify the highs and lows of training for a sport such as vo...
