The Music In Our Final Film


        Hey! This is the first time I've written a production blog for this project. I am super excited. This blog will discuss the songs that my group and I chose to incorporate in our film, as well as how we went about doing so. The music selections are related to/correspond to the pitch that my group and I chose. Last but not least, Pitch is a young Black girl who sees her closest friend's terrible death and vows to seek justice. When my teammates began looking for music, they wanted something that fit our tone and plot well. When my partner Kayla came up with the concept, she instantly thought of a plot and began considering music options. The songs chosen for the film tell a tale about our experiences as Black and Brown people in America. It describes our daily problems in society and the issues we face on a daily basis. With our video, my team and I truly want to deconstruct a tale. Something that was detailed and allowed the viewers to not only see but also hear what was going on. H.E.R's "I Can't Breathe," Kendrick Lamar's "Alright," Bobby Sessions' was more than ideal for our film. In addition, "The Hate You Give," Lil Baby's "The Bigger Picture," Meek Mill's "Stay Woke," Childish Gambino's "This is American," and Cynthia Erivo's "Stand Up" were the songs picked. These artists were chosen because their music connected with the theme of the film. The songs also made my group and I feel a connection. This is something that we hope the audience will feel too. The message is strong and perfectly aligns with our brand and storyline. Ariel and Kayla, two of my group members, have already contacted two of these musicians, H.E.R. and Kendrick Lamar. Kayla has already begun composing the emails to be addressed to Bobbi Sessions and Meek Mill. Ariel and Kayla intend to analyze those communications and deliver them, along with the remaining correspondence, to the artists and their teams in the coming days. Kayla will also be contacting these musicians via social media ( Instagram, Twitter, etc.).

My CR For The Short Film

  My CR Essay For The Short Film           A short film about bullying can effectively represent social groups and issues by highlighting the various power dynamics at play within a school or community setting. The film can depict how bullying often arises out of a desire to establish dominance over others, and how this can be reinforced by social hierarchies and group dynamics. By portraying these complex social dynamics in a realistic and nuanced way, a short film about bullying can spark important conversations about the ways in which social structures and systems contribute to bullying, and how we can work together as a community to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for everyone. Our Film uses the issue of bullying to show the audience the importance of sticking up for yourself. To this day, bullying is a major problem in society. It is seen mostly in schools, however, it can happen in the workplace, playground, or home. Bullying t...

Planning For My Music Video

Image
  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...
