 Good morning bloggers I'm coming at you today with a much earlier blog, at least I'm starting it early today. In this blog we talk about the certain problems we ran into while preparing to film our music video. With three group members you have three different schedules. As well as three different locations and other different moving parts. So as you can imagine the first problem our group ran into was finding a weekend in which we were all available to start filming. Weekdays weren't going to happen because Tiyanna had practice afterschool. The 22nd and 23rd were my birthday weekend so those also weren't available. Suse works on the weekends Saturday mostly so it was safe to say that finding time wasn't gonna be easy. However towards the end of the month a lot of our schedules would begin to clear up and we were hopeful to begin filming. The second issue we ran into was were we lived. This problem however was solved easier than the first because me and Suse were o

 Hey Bloggers It's Aurum here back with another blog. Getting consistent here with the scheduling all for my fellow bloggers of course. Now lets get right into our topics for today's blog. Today we talk about our materials needed for the video shoot. Materials like props and costumes for the video as well as props for the certain settings and scenes we have. Mainly the party scene which may be quick but still needed to make it look more realistic. Costumes is another material that we'll utilize however we wont be needing too much variety. Thanks to us thinking ahead in the story board we made sure to plan so that the costumes needed wouldn't be too hard to access. The most I can see us needing is just more fashionable street clothing making the costume part very easy. Back on to props however for the first car scene we will need a car to film from and none of us are driving independently just yet. This just means we have a little convincing to get done. The park and tra

 Hey bloggers, and welcome back to my blog. I'm now onto an entirely new project from the all about me commercial. In fact now I am in a group with two other people. My groups members Tiyana and Suse are both friends of mine that both decided to work with me on this project. I met Tiyana last year in my 1st period class. We also worked on a project together with another friend of mine. I knew when we were put in the same class again this year that we had to work together. She's a hard worker and honestly very mature and on top of her stuff. Suse is someone who I thought I met this year however I went to the same elementary school as her. So I had known Suse since the 4th grade and we happen to have 3 classes together this year. Suse is a great writer having a way with words that really impressed me. I knew she would be a very integral member of our group with the storyboard and script help to help keep the video shoot flawless. Our group as a whole meshed together quickly and w

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.

Hey bloggers its me aj and I'm back with another blog. I'm e cstatic to be working with Tiyana Smith who I sit with in class and I've known for 2 years. As well as Suse who I'm in 3 classes with already and have slowly but surely gotten to know. I chose to work with them because me and Tiyana had worked together in a group last year for another class. We work well together and have good chemistry. I also believe that Tiyana is a good leader as well as the fact that she keeps me honest. We chose to work with Suse because she is a very hard worker. I know this because of the other Aice class we share together and the math class we share. The song we chose was Great Gatsby by Rod Wave. Rod Wave is a R&B singer who got popular in 2020 with his hit song heart on ice. We chose this song however because Suse and Tiyana both like the artist a lot. Tiyana especially she really pushed to use his music and so we had a vote that I lost. Despite not being the biggest fan of him

Welcome back to your favorite blog today I'll be giving you a small intro into who I am. I consider myself a right brain thinker because I am intuitive and creative. I love listening to music, if you see me my headphones are always in. My top 3 favorite genres are rap, alternative, and R&B. Music is definitely a big part of my life since I was little. My parents exposed me to many different types of music from Erykah Badu to Nirvana. I also enjoy playing sports my favorite being basketball which I have been playing since elementary school. Tying into sports I am now getting into strength training and starting to go on protein heavy diets. On top of that I have also been watching sports for as long as I can remember.
