  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 ...

  Song: Somebody I Use To Know 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. 1...

  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 music video because it gives us insigh...

                         Making new friends have been a serious obstacle to overcome during this pandemic. Earlier this school year, I was scared to talk to new people. However, I was fortunate to meet my friends, Luka (Shannon), Rose, and Vanessa. I feel like they can relate to me. It was so refreshing to meet and connect with people who were just like me! We decided to join together in a project a few weeks ago. When I first picked them to be apart of my previous project, we automatically clicked. This project really helped us bond. This led us to be partners again for this highly anticipated music video. Together, we are a perfect team! We all work hard. We also have the creativity and academic skills to make the best out of this music video. There were many things I noticed from the previous project that really helped me choose to stay in this group. One thing was that all of my teammates have amazing problem...

      Hello! My name is Zahra. I am super excited to be a blogger! It has been something that has been on my mind for a really long time and I am happy that I can experience this with you all! I was born on a beautiful island named Jamaica and I live with my parents and younger brother. I love to listen to music. Even though all my favorite songs are kind of a mixing pot, I love RnB. RnB music really speaks to me and I love all the creative melodies. During my free time I like to watch anime and read thriller webtoons. I love Shonen anime. My favorite anime at the moment is JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Some things that I love about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure are the art style and the fact that the author, Hirohiko Araki,  incorporates closure in his writing. You do not see that a lot in other animes. Usually an all-time favorite character would just die and the authors would just leave it like that. However, in JoJo, Araki really taps into the emotions of readers by ...
