This is the music video.  It took a lot of effort to complete this project but it was a fun process. Working in a group of people that I already know made it easier. There are two settings which are the park and target. The target scene is us basically shopping for party items and decorations. After that is the park scene. There were many elements to this scenes. The first one was us decorating the table with the balloons and all the other items. Then we would have the girl's niece surprise her. After that we sang happy birthday and that was the end.

At this point she is halfway done editing. I feel like she is almost done though. I think she's really focused on the transitions and making the video look good. She's also focusing on how she can highlight the different angles being used. When I edited another video previously it was hard to add the audio. Hopefully she didn't have any trouble adding the audio because she didn't mention it. I don't know if iMovie has watermarks. The one I use last time did have watermarks and I was trying to find another one that didn't. Then she mentions that she had to cut some parts off to make the video shorter. We did take a lot of takes while filming so I understand. Some of the clips were longer than anticipated. Because of that she had to chop some of those scenes up. I offered to edit but she said she would. I don't think I did too bad on the last project we had with editing. She has an iPhone so the quality is way better than my phone. That's why we used her p

So Naiara decided to edit the music video. She didn't really show me the process but she did say it's almost done. I feel like she will edit it good because she uses iMovie. I movie is not really that popular because I don't know people who use it. I don't know much about it but I heard that it's a great source. Her boyfriend helped to film us mostly so I feel like he's helping too. Hopefully she'll add some good transitions to the clips. At first she was a little bit confused on what song we were doing. Then we had to make it clear to her. She says that, " What had to be done was run the entire film. Once I did that, I saw that the duration went under 1 minute. So, I had to go back and check and see which scenes i needed to extend. I first cut down the first opening scene by a couple seconds. Then I speed up the scene where one of the actors is walking then slow it down when they grab the basket.This gave me more time which was good for the film so tha

After filming at Target, we went to phone the second scene the next day. We had left the cake at Melvin's house so we needed to go there first and then go to the park. Naiara had to go to the park and was debating on if she would be able to make it. She thought that she wouldn't be able to make it because transportation was not guaranteed. At first we were going to film the process of getting there but everyone couldn't walk there at the same time. Once we got to the park we settled and we started decorating the nearest table. We realize we needed some utensils for the cake. There was a nearby store so naira and her boyfriend went there. We also needed tape but didn't have any so we only got utensils. Once they got back we started blowing up balloons and naiara came up with an idea. She figured that we would get a stick and tie rubber band to the balloon. Then we thought of an idea to use one of the girls that were playing in the park. This was not a girl we knew so we

On Tuesday November 28th this day was our first filming block. Before this day we were trying to figure out what time will it be suitable for all of us to film. We wanted to be a day right after the thanksgiving break so we won't procrastinate. Tuesday was the day everyone was available. The destination was at a target, so we had to figure out transportation also. Some items that we bought during filming were party decorations as previously stated. Some of those include birthday hats plates balloons and more. We had an extra person to help film us so we all could be included in a music video. This person was Naiara's boyfriend. We made sure we took multiple takes of the same scene just to see which one would be better than the other. He did good with the angles as you can see in one of the videos where he kind of starts with a low angle but then changes it. One of them we tried to do a time lapse with some of those scenes. After that we tried to buy a cake at Target, but it was
