For the last few weeks of school we started  to work on a Music video assignment. The first step in the process of making a music video is to create a group.  I did that and Alexis Chatfield, Danielle Gunn ,Coral Haeger are my team members for this group and we are going to be creating a music video to the song Faded. We chose this song because it went with our storyline and we knew this song and all of the words in it.



In a music video it might be boring to just watch people lip sync right. Well to keep your full attention we also created a storyline that relates to our song "Faded".But in-between each storyline is a lip sync to the music. But to make the lyp sync and the storyline realate to the storyline we are going to act while singing the lyp sync.The beginning of our story starts with a group of friends that always hangs out. When suddenly they get split up into two groups because they got separated and couldn't find there other friends. Each two friends where trying to find there other two friends. Where they end up going though opticals and places to try to reunite with there other two friends. Then at the end they find each other and every thing goes back to the way it was before.

The Rough cut for this music video went well and I think we are doing really good and will be able to make it for the deadline on Tuesday. W are doing really well so far and I think that we are adding in multiple shots that came bring our music video to life.Our challenges for this music video was trying to make sure the storyline was clear and every single person in the classroom new what was happening.

Movie Trailer Premier

This week in My Gifted and talented program we focused on making a movie trailer and the main focus right now was our storyboard/plan for our video. But before we start filming our team has to complete our storyboard. But before I proceed you probably want to know what our story is about so let me show you. My groups movie trailer synopsis- A surfer with no expectations ventures out in the waves one day alone without her friend. Finding herself in a near-death experience rumbled by the pounding waves, this time she has gotten herself in a dangerous situation. Her friend spots her surfboard, and runs into the water looking for her. She pulls her friend out nearly lifeless. Will she survive? In the story board production process me and my other teammate of mine were the only group members out of four teammates that contributed on the storyboard. But since we finished the story board we can. I've on and start filming our Movie Trailer.


During the final stretch of this project went through some challenges and some successful moments during the production of this film. The first challenge faced was when not everybody showed up to our first meeting so we had to change the rolls of the actors and script. The next challenge we went through was when we had to get our rough cut finished and turned in in one to two days. but, on the positive side we did a good job on that and got some pretty individual shots that can raise our grade. For our successful moments was when we looked at our cool shots and our creative angles. But, overall it was a good experience and I am exited to look at our final result.



After watching every bodies movie trailers I was impressed with the stories that they come up with and the creative shots that our class came up with. Our end results came out pretty good and we have improved so much since the rough cut. Our results from the class were good and they mostly thought that we met all of the requirements and did a great job with our creativity and shot types. Out of all of the Movie Trailers we were ranched third.

Metamorphosis Animation

This week me and my team (Kiersten Donner, Alexis Chatfield,Chelsea Schneider) are going to start a new project called the Animation challenge that includes the steps of Metamorphosis. The first goal for this project is to find a team and come up with two ideas that include metamorphosis. The next goal for this project is to complete a google slide document and include the setting, about the characters, and a little bit about the story. Once we finish the google slide document we have to pick one of our ideas and create a storyboard or a plan so my team has a picture in there head of what we are going to create. Then we have to make a one to two minute animation that includes custom sound track.

This week my team is going to e working on our storyboard for our Animation project. But before I continue I would like to tell you what my story is going to be about, it begins outside of a barn where a pig is rolling around in the mud talking to a chicken friend about her responsibilities. She explains to the chicken that she  just wishes she can be something with no purpose and no responsibilities like a bee. Then she tries running away to a flower field where she lay on his pack looking up at a bee. She starts telling her that she is so lucky to be a bee and that she has so many responsibilities she wishes she wishes to run away from. Then as quick as lightning a million bees fly from the sky start flying around her and then magically she turns into a bee. She feels dizzy and flies up into the air back to rest at the barn and then she looks down and wonders why the grass is so large. She then races to the nearest shiny object and looks into it and screams at her appearance. She spots another bee and races over to her and asks her what happened and then the other bee doesn't answer and just flies away. So, she follows and asks where are you going,"To work" She replies. "You work!!!" the pig said in amazement. The other bee rolls her eyes and continues to fly. Then the bee gives the new bee a job witch is to pollinate the flowers. So that is what she did. It was hard to her at first and then she got the hang of it. It starts to become easier and easier and so she gets assigned to more and more jobs. When she then releases thats she was so lucky to be a pig and that being a bee takes a lot of work and that everyone has a purpose in life. But she ends up loving herself and likes working because she feels accomplished every day and gets rewarded with a honeycomb for her hard work.
I think that our 

Metamorphosis Animation results came out to be a big success. We worked as a team to create a wonderful Animation and used multiple animation types to make it look more individual. I think that our team had advantage because we two people on our team had quit a bit of experience on editing things in Imovie including me and Alexis Chatfield. I think that we also could of improved by adding more audio and giving better quality on the shots because some were shaky or you couldn't tell what was happening.But, over all we did an amazing job and everybody seemed to really enjoy our story and the message we were trying to give without a lot of audio whitch means our message must of been strong.
