Planning Storyboard for my Music Video

 These are roughly the 12 "parts" of the music video divided into scenes, all about 5 seconds long each.

1. The video will start with the main character coming out of the front door with his dog on a leash next to him. This will be the instrumental first 4 seconds before the lyrics start.

2. The first scene will cut to a wide shot of the street, panning and following the boy and the dog walking. This second scene will begin right when the lyrics start, and the camera will focus to a shadowy figure in the background.

3. This shadowy figure comes from off screen and grabs the leash from their hands, running away with the dog. They cannot stop this from happening as they are in shock at what happened.

4. This scene is just a zoom in of the main character who mouths "NOOOO" into the sky. At this point the shadowy figure has run off, and it has left him in great despair.

5. The scene fades to a black and white flashback of the dog, doing normal activities such as walking around and playing fetch. 

6. A close up of the boy with a sad look on his face. He will be unmoving, with a dead stare into the camera.

7. Cut to inside the house, where he is walking up stairs. The camera is behind him

8. Then, we capture him sitting on the stairs. His face is sad as he regrets losing his dog. 9. After the shot of the boy sitting on the stairs, another flashback plays of the boy playing fetch with the dog. This flashback is of something the boy could be doing with his dog currently if he hadn't been stolen. 10. The next shot is of the boy walking up to a woman and asking her if she has seen anyone with his dog. She quickly shrugs him off and continues to walk. 11. Depressed, he backs away from the woman as she walks away. 12. The music video ends with the main character's sad face looking slowly up to the sky as the sun sets. This ending is fitting because the sunset gives the feel that the endeavor to find his dog is over.

Filming: First Scene

Image
 We decided that the first scene could be filmed at a separate time than the rest of the scenes because of its location. Not only that, this was filmed on a separate date. The script was changed to compensate this. The camping trip was scheduled for a later date rather than later that day in the story to maintain continuity. All group members and cast members were not together for this shoot, as we didn't need to be. There are no group parts in this scene besides ones that will be edited in. We got in a voice call together for communication purposes as the first shot was filmed. There needed to be two phones utilized for this shot, as the shot consisted of a phone on a table. Only phone cameras will be recording every scene, and this was no different, which is where the second phone comes in. The camera wouldn't move, as it captures a top-down shot of the table with a phone in its center. The phone would then ring and be picked up by an off-screen arm after a considerable amoun

Intro & Group Blog: Final Task

Image
 I am Nicholas Arnold, an 11th grader at Fort Lauderdale High. After the success of the previous project I worked on, I am excited to work on a new project with my improved editing skills. I feel that I am now fairly competent at editing footage. It would be an ideal scenario if I could use that skill in a group. This why I am choosing to participate in a group with Grant Cipollone. I have chosen to be in the same group for 3 separate reasons. The first is that Grant has good camerawork and can create great footage to use off of our ideas. This is something that I don't feel as confident with, so a project would turn out better with him filming scenes. Secondly, I am more knowledgeable of the editing software and can create a good final project with the footage given. This is all backed up by our previous work, in which we split the work between filming and editing to make a better finished work. There were no problems when it came to delivering the information and footage back and

Creative Critical Reflection

How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? This commercial is targeted towards anyone with underlying medical conditions that could lead to constant uncontrollable headaches, specifically those who seek a solution to this condition. The commercial primarily advertises a product that is meant to fix these issues. The main goal of the commercial is to get the targeted audience to buy the product advertised by making a convincing plea that the product is worth buying. Migraines are an issue in many people's lives and this advertisement is an attempt at reaching this audience, and their wallets. It challenges the convention of the common issue of migranes by offering a solution. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text? Audiences should be engaged through the relatability of the situation the characters in the commercial are in. The main character begins by having a headac
