Hi! We're already starting the final task, and there's already so many details to think about. Because of my experience from last years class, I had many ideas on how to execute this project. My best friend Alexa Delgado was my partner for almost every project in last years class. We work amazingly together. We listen to each other opinions and work on perfecting the ideas for projects together. She lives extremely close and we're always together anyways. She's the perfect person to do my final project with. I'm so excited to see what we come up with. We prefer to work alone because we wholeheartedly trust each others judgment and work ethic. She has amazing ideas and is a great editor. When filming we have so much fun together. We sincerely enjoy this class and it's benefits we get from what we learned. During our projects, I was usually the one acting in them. Therefore, in the film making process I want to gain more experience in editing. Alexa's insight is so creative and important to me, so I'm sure whatever we create will have great meaning behind it. I know this is something she enjoys to do in her free time as well. Creating mini montages and collections of memories behind great music are just some of the things I've seen her create in her free time. She's an amazing student who knows just what to add. We'll do an amazing short film just like our other productions.

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...
