  First Scene The main male and female character will enter the clubhouse room as camera tracks them from the front. In this shot the camera will be eye level. The characters will be picture wearing trendy streetwear. This scene will correspond with the instrumental opening of the song. Second Scene This will be introduced by a fade in where the characters will be relaxing and watching TV. This will be from the TVs perspective in which the main characters will be exaggerating their reaction to the content. Third scene The two main character's will be shown playing pool together and having a good time when the girl has to go. Then the two characters will agree on meeting for dinner later. This will all be shot long in order to capture all of the characters without any camera movement. Fourth Scene The male character will walk the girl to the garage say their goodbyes with the scene concluding with the door to the garage closing. This shot will be a medium long shot that follows the

   Props: Since my group and I decided to do a relationship breakup music video the props will be, a phone, a car, a pool table, a plastic bag, and a bed. Costumes: In our music video, we will have two of our group members and a non-group member. The main character's costume will be street trendy. The "girlfriend" character will be wearing a casual outfit. The "Perpetrator" character will wear dark clothing. At the end of the video, the main character will change into night apparel.  Schedule: On 11/12/21,  our group research the conventions needed for the music video.  On 11/16/21, our group establish the props, costumes, schedule, locations, and a backup plan.  On 11/19/21, our group will create the storyboard for the music video.  On 11/29/21, our group will film and record the shots for the music video.  On 12/1/21, our group will film, record, and reshoot the shots for the music video.  On 12/3/21, our group will edit and add the final touches to the commer

For this project my group is making a music video for the song Maps by Maroon 5. For research I looked at the real music video for Maps. Looking at the music video it was heart wrenching and told a story of love. I then looked at some other music video created by Maroon 5. All of the music videos had a theme or story, so I want the music video to have a story too. The costumes in the music videos were vey elaborate and fitted the location it was shot at. There were a lot of different camera angles that make the music video more fun and enjoyable. When they sing in the music video it's lip singing, but it looks like they actually are singing. The edits used in the music videos are more fun and creative then what I usually see. There was a lot of different props and materials to make each scene more fun. Throughout most of the videos it's only the song, but there are some parts where there is dialogue and other sound effects. I looked at some hit music videos from some other song

 I am working with Noah Sherman again, however I am also working with Dartamian Dolorean as well. This engaging project encourages assignees to perform their own tasks, but I find it  most beneficial to try this project with hard-working partners like Noah and Dartamian. This is because introducing new members enhances collaboration and resolves disputes due to  the odd number of participants. This introduction  also prevents production errors from slipping through  cracks and introducing new opinions into our discussions. I also felt that it was necessary to introduce new members in music videos, which usually have a large number of actors and different camera angles. All of this is possible by adding another person. Noah is one of my best friends, but I chose him  because he has the qualities that a good project partner should have. He is a very intelligent student with a GPA of 4.0 or above. His work ethic goes through the roof when it comes to schoolwork. He always gets what he nee

 My name is Felipe Lopez and my family is from Edmonton. I am from Tampa, Florida, but I moved to Ft Lauderdale, Florida 3 years ago. I attend Fort Lauderdale High School as a sophomore. Also I am a student enrolled in AICE Media Studies AS level.  I enjoy playing sports and watching movies. I was always really fascinated by the behind-the-scenes of how movies were made. So, I enrolled into this class so that I can learn more about the filmmaking process. I also am learning how to edit videos in a separate class. I can use those skills for when I need to edit my projects.  Then, I will be able to see what goes on pre-production. This class may open up my perspective on the film-making world causing me to look for jobs that can enhance my knowledge and experience on movies/tv shows. I have a really good work ethic and this class will only make that better. There is going to be a lot of assignments but they are going to be enjoyable and fun because I am going to be learning so much about
