Planning Storyboard for my Music Video

Image
The first scene-the camera is at a low level at someone's feet at a Walmart. It might be a Target but the first scene is any type of store. The second scene- Then someone is picking out some party items in the specific aisle. It includes birthday hats, soda, decorations,, and more. The third scene- Now the camera is zoomed up on the items as the person is picking them out on the shelf. She picks out the cake, party hats, and balloons. The fourth scene-  Then someone goes in the card aisle and pics at a birthday card. The camera is focused on the card shelfs and all you see is the hand reaching to the card.  The fifth scene- Then someone goes to the freezer aisle and gets ice cream. This time the camera is catching the person and the freezer. The sixth scene- This is where the person is paying all the items that are being bought. The items include all the birthday party decorations and necessities. The seventh scene- This is where two or more people are walking or driving to the par

Together my group and I decided to do the song "birthday" by Katy Perry. The audience will see how different themes can be associated with birthday parties for example in the video singer Katy Perry goes to birthday parties surprising unsuspecting people on their birthday. she uses many different outfits to disguise herself in the music video. -Costumes will depend on the scenes they are either going to be casual clothes or nice outfits -Props include balloons, party hats, probably cupcakes and confetti. -The music through the commercial is a high pace song to get people's attention and to feel the quick actions in the commercial  1. "happy birthday" is a phrase that brings joy to people since its their time to celebrate and have fun without worrying about their daily life for a whole day 2. In the music video the props are always angled to show the audience the video is about birthdays without stating its going to be about birthdays. 3. Birthday Music Videos wi

  I know I said I don't usually work in groups but I want to have an open mind. So, I am in a group of three for my project. My group members are Naiara, Melvin, and myself. We have been working on planning our project and ideas to film together for a while now. We already have several ideas planned out. Another thing we planned out was our types of camera shots. I'm glad I chose a group as we have made great progress. I have known about Naiara since middle school in 7th grade. I met Melvin in sunrise middle school. I have a lot of hope as I believe my group works very efficiently. I would like to be the camera man in the group and assign roles to different group members. I'd want either Naiara or Withly to storyboard and draw as I am not good at drawing. My group doesn't have much experience filming with professional cameras. I am creative and I already have an idea about how I want the project to look like. We also came up with many backup plans in case so

We're Back!!

  My name is Withly and this is my intro blog. I am in the AS level and this is my first year taking a class that has to do with filming. I usually don't take classes like these, but I wanted to try something new this year. I'm a sophomore and graduating in 2024 and hopefully getting the AICE diploma. I was born on January 16, 2006 and for my age, I think I’m very mature. I wasn't born in America but was born in Haiti. I really enjoy performing arts so I feel like this correlates in some way. Some examples of performing arts are singing and dancing. my favorite colors right now are green and pink because i feel like they're pretty colors and they compliment my skin. Working with people with any project Is never a problem and could help me more. I think it really depends on the people. For example some people may not do anything and that may effect others. I think i would decide to work by myself most of the time. I don't have to worry on depending on people. It'
