 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!

It’s mainly used to show what the characters are heading, and to highlight how quiet the world is, because of how loud those small movements are that we don’t tend to notice. Such as walking or placing down something on a shelf. There’s also non-diegetic sound, which is used to build suspense when there’s climax’s of action. My group will use diegetic and non-diegetic sound to also have this element. What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like?  In A Quiet Place the monsters that are hunting them are almost never directly shown. They’re shown in blurs and just in sound. You know there is danger, but you don’t know who or what’s behind it. It’s one of the elements my group enjoyed within this movie. It builds the suspense, because you draw your own conclusions and the u...
