Hello, everyone welcome back to my blog. Today was the first day of editing that we did.  First thing that we did as a group is we started off by discussing how we wanted everything to work finally.  However, we already knew that there was going to be at least two days of editing as we had multiple clips, and we knew that it was going to take more than the time that we had together.  So, after understanding this, we decided that today we would cut each clip so they didn’t fit within the time requirement that we were going for.  The time requirement thought we were going for was one minute and fifteen seconds.  We decided on this time because we thought that it wouldn’t be too long in because compared to other music videos, It was relatively the same time.  With this in mind, and the amount of clips that we have, we decided to cut each clip down to a certain amount of seconds.  There will be a range of time for clip, but the average time was about seven seconds per clip.  We did this be

Hello, everyone welcome back to my blog and this is the second day of filming production for my music video.  So now that we had the music video started, we were most likely going to finish by the time we had our next filming session.  There were a few problems with this though.  Again, due to all of us being athletes we had to organize our schedules around being able to film.  But this time it was going to be easier because we did not have as much to do filming wise.  So in the session, we decided that we would try and get all of the remaining filming that we needed.  We planned around being done by the second filming session because it would help us in the long run making this video.  We figured that editing and changing, and cutting for our video, would take the longest amount of time.  As a result of this, we wanted to have everything done so we could save editing for the last and we could finalize everything.  We wanted everything to be done this way, and save editing for last, so

Today was our first day out filming as a group and overall, it went very well.  Even though we have started filming late, we were pretty productive in the first day of filming that we have done. We decided to do it on Sunday just before school started because this was the only day so far that we had found that we were not all busy.  We plan to place that we would be filming based off of where we all lived.  Since we all lived in the same area, this made it very easy, and we decided on a local park.  The second place of filming that we decided on because we needed a piano for one of our scenes was my house.  But we ran into some complications throughout the day filming.  The first complication was that we did not all get to the park at the same time because one of us had an emergency that they had to tend to, and it’s set back the Time by one and a half hours.  This was a minor setback as we would still be able to get work done throughout the day, and as soon as everybody got there, and

Hello, welcome back to my blog. This is Day two of production, but today we still could not film. As mentioned in the last production blog we could not start filming due to personal obligations that we all had to attend to, and that filming would be done over the weekend. This was still the same plan as before, as nothing had changed. But we had made plans for now we had made plans for when we did. These are plans that are made on top of the plans we had made in the previous blog. we made up the 3 main positions needed to get this project done efficiently. Especially because out group only had 3 people in it. So, the three roles we decided on were and editor, Filmer and main actor. These where the general position roles that we needed to fill due to the requirements of the assignment. For example, we needed to have six productions blogs total, with two being about editing, two about and filming and two about anything else related to the project. The main role we made sure we would fill

It was just about time to begin filming but we had not started yet because all of us were currently busy and could not.  So far we had been working well together as a team and were communicating well through everything that we have had to do.  With our storyboards done, we had a relative idea on how we where going to act it out and where we would be shooting mostly.  Since we could not film today we decided too assign roles to each of us that where not going to be in each scene.  Due to there being three of us one would always have too be filming and two would always be in the camera.  We structured our storyboard and entire filming process around this fact.  We all had great confidence in our ability to do this project to the fullest.  We where also very excited to start filming.  We where all excited because we all knew each other before being put together as partners for our group.  Which meant that we had fun litsaide of school before in each others company and I think that we thou

 Hello, my group consists of Alexander Nordyke and Nathanel Greene. We are doing 7 years by Lukas Graham. This song is considered pop or r&b. We will be filming in multiple places. The first place will be Alex Nordyke's house. The second place will be at Alex Dimartino's house. The backup plan will be at the galleria mall. We will use old clothes. Whether these consist of mine or one of my group mates for costumes. We will use some of Alex Nordykes old stuff from around the house for props. If needed, we will go and buy some extra props. But we will use mostly outdoors and some indoors stuff for props. The backup plan will be to bring our props to the Galleria. We will first get permission from the mall security and the police. We will then film where and when there will not be a lot of people around to make the backup plan take any longer. Our other backup plan will be on the streets of Las Olas. We will film in an area with less people. Our planning for this music video w

My name is Alexander Dimartino and i am in the 11th grade and i graduate from Fort Lauderdale high school in 2025.I am a multi-sport athlete as I had played 8 years of competitive football for a club and upon joining high school I found a new love for American football, which I would like to play in college and I work extremely hard at ad I do Shot put, Dicus, and javelin in the off season. In everything I do I work extremely hard at, and I dedicate everything that I have to it. I see myself as a reserved meron that keeps to themselves, but I also see myself as a nice person. I am a very busy person from day-to-day as I go to school for 8 hours then have practice until late in the night and then I have homework. But no matter how many things I have to do or how overwhelmed I get I look to God to
