Storyboard

The storyboard of  our music video was set up to give us an idea of we will be doing for our music video. The story board also sets up the different time schedules that will be arranged to go with the production of our music video. Our storyboard gives us all we need so we could be able to shoot our music video properly. It also give us an insight on what we will have to do with the a camera and other things so we would be able to do this video. Starting off with the camera angles, these will include with many up close shots to our faces and our whole body shots. We will also try to take long distance shots to get a good view of the whole environment and all of us together. The different camera angles we will take depends on the setting we are in at the time. Most likely we will be going for front view/close up angles and wide view angles  so it would match together with the song we chose. We also agreed upon that we will most likely use panning shots most of the time of the video so it the camera could follow use while we're walking.

For the different shots we will be taking, our group decided that we will most likely be focused on close up and long shots with our video. The close ups will focus on the main person of the video at the time and add detail to that person to make them show out more. The long shots is to either get all of us in a shot with each other or to get a better view of the environment that we are in.
                                           
                                           The editing of our video will be pretty simple and easy. All we have to do is edit the song in the background of our a video and fit all the scenes together so we could make it in the 1 minute and 15 seconds time frame. The song will be enhanced in way to add more depth to it while we're recording. This will happen because we want the song to sound clean and proper when it is time to edit it in our video.

Planning blog for music video

     For my groups's music video, we have already planned out the music video and how it will be arranged. The location of the music video will settle in the area of my home in Fort Lauderdale. We chose this are because there is a lot of open space to shoot the music video, the song we chose, Under the sun, is based off of the setting off the streets, and that the area provides sunlight to shoot the video. The only problem the group saw with this location was that it may be too far for the other members to get there, but in the end they all arranged ways to get to the location so we could shoot the video properly. Now going on to health and safety, we already decided everything with that as a group. The only issue we saw with that was that we would be along streets with a possibility of cars moving and passing by. Because of this issue we decided to shoot at a time around noon so not that many cars would be passing by.

      In our music video, we will use different props to accommodate the theme of the . The props will include a car which will start off the beginning of the music video. We will also include a basketball in which one of us will be playing basketball while the song is playing. The last prop we will use is a phone so we could get a shot of one of us rapping while supposedly speaking to someone on the phone. We did not include that many props because it is not needed and the theme of the song does not include props with it. Hopefully we will be able to have all of these props when the time comes to record the video. The costumes that we will be using are very generic and really just regular clothing. In the original video, the rappers are wearing clothes that naturally wear on a daily basis, so we just decided to wear something we were all comfortable in.

  The schedule of the video will go in a regular fashion. First day we will start of by recording ourselves all sitting on a car. We then move on to us playing basketball at a later time of the day at basketball court. After the basketball shots, we will record a scene of all of us walking along the street together while staring at the camera. Right after that shot has been handled with, we will shoot a scene with one of us being on our phone. Then we will wrap up the video with all of us shaking hands while the sun is setting to get a great scene for the video.

   

Intro to new project

Our group just finished the commercial project that was assigned to us by our teacher. It was an enjoyable time making the video with all the sporting equipment and my group members. It was also very relieving to finally see the end results of all of our hard work.With this new project I feel like it's gonna be very fun because it involves on e of my favorite topics, music. We are looking more into the rap genre because that's the type of music our group enjoys the most.

The song our group decided to our project on was Ballin by Roddy Ricch. We chose this song because we feel like it is a very smooth and appealing song that would be enjoyable to us and anybody that listened to it. It is very popular song which racked up many views in the first few weeks it came out.We would certainly have to go with the clean version of the song because the original contains a lot of profanity. We already started deciding on the different features that will be included for the production and will put it down in the clamps format.

1.The costumes will likely be a tank top, shorts, and some type of good branded shoes or open toed shoes. This attire will go with the vibe of the song and keep it enjoyable.

2.The lighting will be under the sun and be very bright. We want to obtain a California type of environment because that is where the song is based upon.

3. The acting has not been decided yet. We were going to go with a gangster type of vibe which is what the song is basically about.

4. We will not be doing any makeup. We will already be under the sun so it just doesn't seem right to do make up.

5. The props will contain a car and money. This will go with the gangster vibe we are trying to approach.

6. The scenery will be located in the streets. It is what the song is mostly talking about.

The sounds will be mostly from the song and any added sounds that we find that could go with it. Editing will contain cut scenes to to show the whole viewing of all of our props and the streets the video will be shotin.
