Scheduling problems

Image
  Hey I'm back!! Sorry it's been so long. I’ve been sick but my health is better now. Today I'm here to tell you about the problems with trying to film my groups music video. It's had to produce a music video when everyone in the group schedules are always full. Suse has her own business. She does other people's hair and has clients booked back-to-back. Like last weekend she had 3 client's hair to do. Aurum recently started a new job that requires her to work long hours. I've been busying with my sweet 16 preparation, getting ready for MPA, homecoming game and homecoming. MPA is a competition for all Broward bands. It was on Saturday of last week. Fort Lauderdale band, Thee Sound, got all superiors for all categories. The categories were general effects, music, band, auxiliary, and percussion. We practiced for MPA for a month with practices on every Saturday.For the homecoming game my flag team is learning new dances and battle routines for our school rivals

Props and Costumes

  Hi everyone I'm back. Today I'm talking about the props and the coustumes. Music videos rely significantly on props for establishing settings, exciting people, and indicating a certain time and place. They can play a vital role in the movie, strengthening the cultural context and giving the scene a more genuine sense. The props we are using are red Solo cups, a car, and a phone. The cups will be part of the party scene in the music video. The cups will be used for the lyrics, "I threw the party of the century, and people came over, no one left sober." The cups would simulate the effect that everyone was leaving intoxicated. The cups would be empty as everybody walked out like they had the most fun in their lives. In the movie, the main character hosts a wild party at his house. As the camera pans across the scene, we see red Solo cups scattered everywhere, symbolizing the debauchery and excess of the party. The cups serve as a visual representation of the lyrics, cr

Our Plans

Image
  Costumes: Normal modern street clothes   Location: We have different settings that are subject to change. However the ones we currently have are a room that we can easily change to fit the lyrics. As well as a night time setting which will only need us to be outside. Schedule: Saturday, Sunday Props: Cups, Tables, lighting, bowls, and other props to match a house party Backup plan: We can each individually send film to each other and edit it together if our schedules stop us from meeting up. We can also choose different and easier to obtain settings if the settings we currently have present a problem. We can also tone down certain scenes if it presents to much of a challenge to properly plan and execute the scene.

My reintroduction

  Hiii!! It's me again! My high school experience is still fun. I am a Jamaican American with a very big family.I am a family-oriented person even though we don’t always see eye to eye on some subjects. I was born in November towards the end, so I am a November sagittarius. I have always been into astrology ever since I was young.I feel like astrology helps me understand people in the way they act sometimes. For example, during family gatherings, I often observe how different zodiac signs interact with one another. It's fascinating to see how the traits and behaviors associated with each sign come to life, providing me with a deeper understanding of my relatives' personalities. This knowledge has not only strengthened my relationships but also sparked interesting conversations and debates within our family.I am a mixture between a tomboy and a girly girl. I enjoy engaging in both traditionally masculine and feminine activities. This blend of interests allows me to connect w

    Hiiii guys!!! I’m back but this time with a different purpose. Today I’m introducing my group members. I’m working with one of my close friends that I known for 2 years, Aurum or aj as I call him. Aurum and I have always shared a strong bond and have been through many ups and downs together. He is a highly talented individual with a unique perspective, which makes him a valuable asset to our group. With his creativity and dedication, I am confident that we will achieve great success in our project. In addition to Aurum, our group also includes one other members who bring their own unique skills and expertise to the table. Suse, a brilliant strategist, has a knack for analyzing complex problems and finding innovative solutions. Her attention to detail and ability to think outside the box will undoubtedly contribute greatly to our project's success. And last but not least, we have me, Tiyana. I'm a natural leader with exceptional organizational skills. My ability to motivate
