 Hello welcome back! I am going to discuss what my group and I are planning to do for this music video. When the group and I were brainstorming song ideas, I had came up with doing a Taylor Swift song. I felt that doing "You belong with me" would be a fitting song for us to be able to make a music video to. Although there is no boy in our group to play the 'evil' Taylor's boyfriend also known as the 'good' Taylor's crush, I had suggested ideas such as changing the conventions of the Taylor Swift music video to expressing the song about friendship instead of a relationship. My part will be playing the "boyfriend" in the music video but instead I will be the best friend in the middle and the 'evil' Taylor Swift, the evil best friend, who will be played by Marlo who will taking me away from 'good' Taylor, the good best friend, which is being played by Omnia. I suggested that the two Taylor's and I do outfit changes when we are filming so that way it is more fitting to the song but does not follow the conventions of the the original music video. For example, when the song says "She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers" that is when the 'evil' Taylor will be wearing a very preppy and popular girl outfit instead of a cheer outfit and the 'good' Taylor who is singing the song will be wearing a basic and not as cute outfit. In the song, the 'good' Taylor is comparing herself to the 'evil' Taylor feeling that the 'evil' Taylor is better than her but also feels that she understands the best friends more than the 'evil' Taylor ever could. I believe this will translate very nicely from Taylor singing about a relationship to now my group and I using the same lyrics to talk about a friendship. Talk more next time!

 Hello again! There has been a few changes in the filming process. As you know, the filming date for this project is Thursday, March 16, 2023. Some things have changed with the location of filming this project. This project was supposed to be filmed at my dads new and very big modern house that we are moving into in a couple of months. Things changed because my dad is renting out that house to different people before we move in. A couple booked to stay in the house starting today, Tuesday, March 14 all the way through Tuesday, March 28. This had me thinking because the people renting out the house will be there on the date that my group was going to film. The projects deadline is coming up quickly and I knew that my group could not wait two whole weeks before we film so I decided to improvise. I came up with the idea that instead the final task will be filmed at the current house my dad and I are in. This house is smaller but still has most of the necessities that will be needed. T...

Production Blog- Finally Finished Filming

 Hello and welcome back blog!! I have not updated you in a little while. The group and I had been planning on what day to film and finally it was decided that today would be the day. I have already discussed that everyone has super busy lives and it is a little hard to come up for filming days. Today was the last and final day of filming. It is Monday, March 11 and right when me and my group got out of school at 2:40, we went straight to my house in order to regroup and discuss further scenes that needed to be filmed. After the group got to my house, filming started shortly after. First, I discovered that the amber alert scene needed to be filmed and that was done by changing contact names to the names of the girls in the short films and a voiceover affect of the amber alert saying the name of the girl who is missing. Then, a couple scenes of Ellie trying to call Olivia in the short film and crying, needed to be filmed. After about an hour of completing these scenes, it was then ti...
