 In this scene, our storyboard depicted Paola seeing an ad for pills on snapchat. She would then swipe up to the story asking about prices. He'd tell her where to meet (at a parking lot) and then to just get in the car. Even thought this was our ideal scenario, there were too many setbacks. It started when we were trying to post the pic of the powder on the scale. Snapchat wouldn't allow us to post it. It locked both Alexa and I out of our own personal snapchats. And even now, as I type this they're still locked. So we then tried to make an ad for it on discord, but we're both not experienced with the app. It was hard trying to work out that situation. We ended up deciding on using messages, sent from Alexa's computer. When it actually came down to the filming there were a few more bumps in the road. It was pouring, we thought maybe it would help with the atmosphere of the film. But when trying it out we couldn't see anything. So we just decided to start it with me entering the car. Our friend Diego just came back from a soccer game. He just changed into his costume. The angles that we wanted to get couldn't have been filmed by Alexa. Who is usually our camera women. So Diego and I had to go back and fourth filming this scene.

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...
