  First Scene: Our music video of ‘somebody that I used to know’ will be about a friend group where one of the members began to drift away from being left out. The music video will start off with a flashback filmed at a high angle where everyone within the group is hanging out and playing video games. The scene will show how the friendship first started out and how no one was being left out. The outfits will be all themed to show how they are a group. Second Scene:  The next scene will pan upwards to show two of the girls playing on the swings at the park while the girl that will leave the group stands on the side talking with them. She isn’t being left out, just showing how the girls are already beginning to diffituate from her.  Third Scene: WIthin the third scene, the camera will be tracking them as they walk. The scene will show the two girls talking as they walk ahead of the other girl who is left all alone. During this scene is when the girl's clothes will begin to start losi

 Props - For this music video, we decided on going for a story that follows a group of friends that slowly fall apart as one person drifts away. Since we want to capture a scene with the friends on the beach, beach towels, hats and beach balls will be present. Costumes - This part will be very easy in our opinion as we will have regular swimming wear or just causal clothing. Though their will be scenes that won't be on the beach so their might be changes in clothing. For the swimming wear, it will completely up to the actors of what they are comfortable on wearing this shoot. Nothing to covered or revealing will be disagreed upon as the actors concern worths more. I'm sure most outfits people would chose are short pants with a t-shirt. Schedule - Be aware that these dates might not accurate as we will need to see for ourselves if these can work with our schedules. 11/16/2021, our group will finalize our ideas of what we want for this project. 11/17/2021, our group will gather t

  Research blog: Music Video  Conventions  Song: Somebody I used to know Genre: Alternative/Indie, Rock My group is making a Music Video using the song, Somebody That I Used to Know. This song is by Gotye. Gotye is an artist that released this song in July 2011. In the original music video, the audience sees a man trying to blend into a wall and a woman who obviously is not worried about blending into the background. She steps outside of the area that she was blending into and confronts the man. The man does not look back at the woman. Throughout the video, the man stays in the same position. However, at the end of the video he turns to look at her when all the paint that blended her into the background shed. In the beginning of the original music video, the singer sings calmly, to emphasize a sort of peace. However, as the video progresses, you see things go into a kind of disarray and the two singers are at a screaming match. It is important to recognize the details of the original m

With the new assignment being assigned, I can't wait to start. Unlike last time which was for a commercial for a product, we are shooting a music video and boy I'm excited. I have so many ideas and song choices for this project that i don't even know where to begin. And also like last time , I chose to still work in the same group as before since we worked perfectly together last time and met our goals. I couldn't chose a better team to team up with than them.  Shannon McCauley is a member of my group and an old buddy of mine whom I met in seventh grade. As I previously stated, we are really close, and we have grown closer over the course of the past academic year. She was a fantastic buddy back then and still is now, and I'm pleased to have her in my group because she is a hardworking and easygoing individual with whom I am confident we will get along swimmingly. She's a joy to work with and always has fantastic suggestions, and I'm looking forward to seein

 Hello, My name is Rose Altes, I'm currently a student at Fort Lauderdale Highschool and taking my first year of AICE Media Studies. I'm very excited for this and for what's to come, as in projects, group work, the planning and filming process of the video's, commercials or music videos. For me, this is going a new experience from what I'm normally used to back at middle school or even the last year Highschool. Current goals are to able to do the best I can for my assignment for my teacher, partners and of course myself. Very much excited for my first assignment which I believe is a commercial, still thinking on what I can do for it and to begin the storyboarding stage as quick as possible. Still building my team for this assignment, picking the best people I can to help me succeed. When thinking about ideas on what I want I to be about, my mind often switch to shoes or food commercials like Subway or Footlocker. I want to be able to do one of these but cant really
