  Storyboard Blog Scene 1: Our music video starts out with all the characters walking up to a ticket booth. The ticket booth of an ice skating rink. The characters hand the ticket booth worker money and buy their tickets. This will be a medium-long shot. Scene 2: There is a wipe transition to characters walking to the rink. They head over to the ice skates place. This will be an over the shoulder shot. Scene 3: There is a jump cut. They then purchase their ice skates. Everyone now grabs their ice skates in a medium-long shot. Scene 4: This scene starts out with a split screen of character putting on their ice skates. Tying their laces. It beings with a fade-in. Scene 5: Our characters walk onto the ice. We are using a tracking shot to follow them around the ice skating rink.  Scene 6: One of our characters is focused on. They are ice skating as well. This character slips and falls on the ice. We then use a quick zoom into our characters head for a transition into our next scene. Scene

Planning Blog   Since my group and I decided to do “Baby It’s Cold Outside” by John Legend, sung by Idina Menzel, we planned to do everything Holiday themed. Our main props are anything Christmas/holiday themed. Such as candy canes and Christmas lights. In our commercial, we plan to have every group member participate. Our actors would wear Christmas clothes. Such as, Christmas sweaters, Santa hats, and reindeer ears. We would also be wearing winter clothes, and look festive. Such as mittens, hats, and scarves. The  girls could also braid their hair and put it up to fit the theme of winter. On 11/15/21 we will create the storyboard for the music video. We will also establish the props, costumes. On 11/21/21-11/22/21 we will film shots that include ice-skating at the Glacier Ice Rink. On 11/24/21 we will finish up the editing for the music video. We plan to get the filming and editing finished around the same time. We will also film at the Galleria mall showcasing the Christmas decorati

My group is using the song “Baby It’s Cold Outside '' by John Legend, sung by Idina Menzel. In the genre of Holiday music, according to our research, using “Last Christmas” by Wham! and “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey. The music video must include: Snow Bright Lighting Costumes relating to the holiday such as: Santa hats Reindeer Horns Etc. Camera Angles and Movements such as Zoom (To emphasis a person place or thing) Pan (To show scenery) Camera shots such as: Wide shot (to show environment) Long shot (to show the characters dancing or running around) Close-ups (to show facial expressions or reactions) Tracking shot (to emphasis what a person is doing during the shot) Many two-shots and three-shots (or as many people as there are in the frame) Fade out shots (to show how one scene relates and transitions to the next) Since we are filming a music video, music will be playing over the video. In videos such as these there are many props such as fake snow, ice sk

 Now comes my group. For our commercial we stuck to people in our class. It ended up working. Now I'll be branching out to other people in the class. I will be working with 3 other people. That's 4 people in total. I will work with Kaya Zeeler, Lily O'Neil, and Addison Walker. Addison is in my class. So at least we have that advantage. Kaya came up with good ideas. She has good ideas for song choices. Her and lily are friends so I bet they think alike. I like this group. Her best idea is TikTok by Kesha. A classic mid-2000's music video. That'll be very interesting. Our own take on it. Because I know that it would end up very funny. I chose this group because of how funny they are. I know that they will creatively come up with something great. 

 Hello again. My name is Ben Polsky. We just finished our journey doing the commercial project. Now we are going to move onto the music video. I am in 10th grade AS level Media Studies. This time I am much more enthusiastic. I love music. I play drums, and produce my own music. Also watching music videos is very fun. I love seeing how music videos translate to genres. Even artist to artist. I have some ideas on how it will be shot. As well as ideas regrading to the song that will be used. Our teacher showed us some examples and I can tell this project is going to be extremely fun. It'll be over quickly. Time flies when your doing what you love. I also think collaborating with new people will be good. The commercial was fun but I had some problems. I hope my true artistic ideas will come out. That they will be shown more prominent in the music video.
