This includes   clocks going fast, cars traveling fast, day and night, and the sky going by quick.  Scene 2: The next scene is Andy on a bike arriving at a park. The angle of the camera will be at a front view of  him at his arrival.  Scene 3: After that, the next scene is a first person view of Andy reminiscing of old times while watching kids  play at a playground.  Scene 4: The next scene is the flashback that Andy gets from reminiscing and it shows Andy and his old  friend, Jibril, hanging out with each other on their bikes.  Scene 5: Andy is then lonely and goes to the fair. A medium shot is made to show the him passing by the front  gates.  Scene 6: Afterwards, there is then a shoulder shot of Andy, on the line, waiting to get on the Ferris wheel. He  is then hit with nostalgia while going on the ride.   Scene 7: There is then a flashback of Andy and Jibril on the Ferris wheel, hav

  Song Title: Where'd All  The  Time Go?   By Dr. Dog,  an American rock band based in Philadelphia. For a song made around the early 2010s, it was really  catchy  and the sounds give a very happy nostalgia to listeners through the lyrics used.   Props: the props that are going to be used are for things that made entertainment back then such as drawing with chalk, playing with a jump rope, and bikes   Costumes: Clothing that would be used is the type of clothes people wore back in the early 2000s.   Schedule:   Music video researching  about the  similar genre - November 12   Group will plan what story will be narrated and what props and settings are used - November 16   Planning the music video scenes with storyboarding - November 19   Our group will film the music video scenes - Sometime around after November 20 to December 9   Editing of the music video such as effects and lyrics - Sometime around after November 20 to December 9   Music Video completed - December 13   Locations:

Indie music is weird

In this blog, demonstrated here will be the conventions that many other music  videos  use d  and that we’ll also use for our music video.   CAMS:   In generic music videos, they often use close-ups to show the synced singing of the artist.   Another general music video CAMS is an extreme close-up, where lyrics link to  the visuals of the video.   An over-the-shoulder shot is used to describe a narrative in the video that makes a character look at something or someone in it.   Eye-level angle is used to show the natural perspective of how the actors look in a third person view from the front.   CLAMPS:   The setting in the video will be able to give a visual of what narrative the music will describe.   For lighting, there could be the use of  dark  color lighting to  demonstrate  gloomy or even serious tone.   Since the song is about  time , there could be acting based on what people did back then in the past.   For costumes, there could be an older version of fashion that could be use

I'm back with the same group

The day has finally come where me and my friends will be starting the music video project. The previous project (the commercial) was a great success, which is why I'm going to stick with the same group. If you don't already know my groupmates are Jibril Alkishawi and Andy Hernandez-Vazquez. I have known Jibi (Jibril) since middle school and we have been very good friends since. We've been to sleepovers and birthday parties together. Overall Jibril is a very good friend of mine, probably one of my best friends. On the other hand, I have only known Andy for 2 months or so. I met Andy this year in AICE Media Studies and I have become very good friends with him as well, later on I found out that we shared a class last year during the pandemic. We sort of have a plan for what we're going to do in the music video, me and Jibril will be "acting" and Andy will be editing (he doesn't like cameras). The song we chose to do is called Where'd All the Time Go? and

 Hey guys after some time I've come back! If you don't know me my name is Max. I'm 15 years old, in 10th grade, and i'm in the as level of Media Studies. I joined the class thinking it would be an easy A but looking at it now I think im going to have to put a lot of effort in. I've been playing guitar for the past 2 years, sometimes stepping out for little crowds and making some bank. I have a dog named Rocco and I love him very much. My mother is from Russia and my dad is from Romania so I speak 3 languages which has been useful a lot of times. In school I take AICE english, algebra 2, AICE Media Studies, Keyboard, Pre AICE World History, Study hall, Spanish 2, and AICE Marine Science. My favorite class is study hall because well... study hall. My least favorite class is Marine Science because thats the class where I take the most tests and do the most work. My favorite artist is J.Cole. My favorite type of food is sushi but sushi is usually tied with Chinese. On t
