 Good morning blog. How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun over the weekend? I did not go to school Thursday and Friday because I was out of town. My aunts birthday was 10/24, my baby cousin was 10/25, and mine was 10/26. On the weekend, my aunt threw my baby cousin his first birthday party. The the theme was cars and all my family was there. I had so much fun.  Last blog I spoke up cutting the scenes and making sure the best takes made the cut. Today, I will speak up how I adjusted the sounds and music to fit the blog. Picking the song was quick and easy when Jahziah and I already had an idea of what the groups idea of the music video was. I decided to cut the song to the parts that would be used in the video. I wanted to use the beginning and the end of the song. It was hard to pick the scenes that were wanted because the video has to be 1:15. In my opinion, it was kind of hard to fit our ideas into that short amount of time. But, the group and I tried our best to por...

 Hiiiii blog. Today is my birthday. I am so blessed to make it to another year of life. I am grateful for my family and good friends I have made along the years. I am out of town right now for my aunt, cousin, and my birthday.  So, in the last couple blogs I talked about the process of the group and I filming. It was a fun process and I enjoyed working with Jahziah, Jaelis, and Aurum. The music video is not done yet though. Jahziah and I decided to split up the editing process to make it quicker and easier for our group. I decided to edit the first half and Jahziah the second. I edited the first half and sent it to her. Then, she put the first and second halves together. I went through the first clips and seen the parts that were going to make the cut. I enjoy the editing part because it makes me excited and anxious for the final music video. Most of the scenes were shot a couple times so, I had to make sure I picked the best one. It was such a fun experience. There was a lot ...

 Hello blog. I hope you had a great weekend. I had an amazing weekend. I took pictures at a football game on Friday for my friend. On Saturday, I had my birthday pictures. I woke up at 8am, took a shower, went to my hair appointment, and then had my makeup appointment at 12:30, and pictures were at 2:30. I received the pictures back yesterday and they looked so beautiful.  After the group and I finished filming at the park, I decided to finish for that day. The following Saturday, my group and I decided to meet again. I guess my house was the coordinated meet up place. My group and I met up at my house and decided that all of us were hungry. My mom took us to Mc'Donalds and my group and I got nuggets, fries, and ice cream. My group and I needed a food bag for the last scene anyways so, it was convenient that my mom decided to get us food. My group and I all at ate and were ready to finish our last scene of the video. My group and I were going to finish filming inside the house...

 Good morning Blog.  I hope you have had a good week so far. Tuesday I finished my CERT class and yesterday I had my firefighting class. I am going to have a busy two weeks. I have to get my nails done, take pictures for a football game, birthday pictures, and making sure I get good grades for the first quarter. But, in today's blog I want to speak on recording in our other two locations. After finishing filming inside the house, we decided we were going to finish filming the next day, Sunday. The next location was outside my house. My group and I imagined a scene where the girl left the house mad and the boy was confused and chased her out the house. The girl was supposed to drive away leaving the boy stuck. My friend, Jaelis was not able to actually drive away because I did not want her mom getting upset. She has her permit but, her mom does not play with situations like that. My mom was with us the entire time filming though so, I ended up driving away but the camera did no...

 Good morning Blog!!  I hope you all have had a great weekend. What did you do? Any upcoming events? This weekend, I filmed with my group. I wanted to make sure to get things done and early because I am going to have a busy couple of weeks. I take my birthday pictures this weekend and will be out of town next weekend. The first location of recording was my home. My group is Jahziah and myself. I guess her and I both did not want to actually be in the film. I contacted two of my close friends who I know were more comfortable in front of the camera. The main idea of this film was to create any arguing scene, a scene of the girl alone in the park, and a scene where the couple rekindles at the end. The actors that played the girl and boy in the film are Jaelis and Aurum. The group and I decided the film was going to begin at my house. The group and I all met up at 3pm on Saturday. Most of the group were only able to be there till 5pm so I made sure to get everything done as quick ...

 Hey Blog. I’m happy we get to talk back to back days. How is your day going ? How are you feeling ? I am getting a little sick. My throat , head , and stomach has been hurting and it hasn’t been the best. But , hopefully it goes away soon. I am so excited for the first group project. It gives me an opportunity to use my creative side and some ideas I have. My group members are Jahziah and Kester. They are all in my same class period so it will be easier to work with them on this project. All of us will have the class time to talk and make sure everything is turned in on time. I like to have all my assignments turned in all time because it shows how responsible I am. I chose to work with Jahziah because she has a Youtube channel so I know she is familiar with making videos , editing them , and having creative ideas. Kester is in our group because he does not know anyone else in the class and I did not want to leave him out. There was three song choice but I believe the best one for...

 Hey Blog.  I’m backkk. I am really excited for this project. I get to make a music video. I kind of want to talk about how I have been feeling lately. I am tired honestly. Sometimes I feel like everyday is a repeating cycle. One thing to remember is never tell people your business. It’s always good to open up to people you trust. Key word , trust. It is really annoying hearing the stuff you’re going through be spoken around school. You just want your business to be between certain people. Why do outsiders think it’s nice to let insiders know their opinions on the problem? It’s hard to open up too sometimes because you don’t want people to feel bad for you. But , in life you go through ups and downs and only the strong people survive. I just hope that people who are going through things alone find help and don’t feel like they need to suffer alone. Anywho , I got a 48/50 on my global project so I was pretty happy about that. I hope you enjoy the ideas I will be telling you all...
