 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!

Production Blog- Drawbacks

 Hello and welcome back blog! Today was a day of learning and gaining new information on different media studies and theorists. In media today, I learned about media ecology and all the ways it can help us understand filming and how to apply it to our knowledge of media. It was very interesting to learn about and realize how much our society and media has changed over the years and how well communication has transformed things in our modern society. I also discussed with my group that because of my work schedule, it can be difficult to plan what days to film for the final task. I suggested that filming could take place on days that I do not work and everyone is not busy and going to Jenna’s house for filming after school would be a good plan. Weekends are very busy for me and it would be difficult to set an exact day to film for right now. One day next week, the plan would be to film after school but I will let you know for sure what day it is that filming is done. There were a cou...

Putting together a short film

  Hey Blog. This blog will discuss and evaluate the procedure of putting together a short film. The first important factor in starting the process of making a short film is identifying your budget. Understanding how much Knowing how many people will work with you and who will be a part of your cast is involved with the budget. This is very important to know to write up a plan for filming. Starting to write out a filming plan with the budget in mind is highly important. Knowing how much money can be sent and what resources are available to you plays a part in the budget and essentially the whole film.

Also, short films typically have a shorter duration than feature-length films, often ranging from a few minutes to around 30 minute...
