The music video that we, as a group, produced is a powerful representation of the struggles that many individuals encounter on a daily basis all throughout the entire world. The film we made explores sadness and shows the impact that losing a loved one may have on a person. The video also looks at how humans evolve and age over the course of a lifetime, in this case with a pet, but it also shows that people never lose their love for a beloved one. For example, as it shows in our video, a puppy. The video does this through the great use of emotional lyrics and dialogue that evoke feelings of nostalgia and flashbacks to the "good old days." This is commonly felt and understood wishing to travel back in time, and be able to relive these moments and not take them for granted. Our selection is a g...

Hello Bloggers! Here is our finished product for our Music Video. I hope you enjoy watching it. We had a very fun time making it.

Hi bloggers! and welcome to my last Production Blog for this Music Video. In this blog I am going to finish explaining the filming and editing process. In my last blog I explained step by step how out first day of filming went. I talked about inconveniences we had in between and what we did to get through it. In this blog, I will do the same thing, but with our second day of filming. This day was much easier than the first. This was mainly because we didn't have little kids to look after, and we didn't stress as much because we all focused. We are old enough to be professional and focus when doing this. That is why this filming day lasted very little time. How this went was, we all met up at my house again. Some got there later than others but that's okay. The guys didn't need to be in the video until the last scene. It was mainly just me in this part. This is because the story is about a little girl that grows up with her dog as I explained in the other blogs. So for t...

 Hi Bloggers. I am back with another filming blog. This blog is a little different. This one is going to be more detailed and specific. In my last blogs I talked about Thing that we did when we filmed and our editing process. But in this blog I will be explaining to you step by step how out days of filming went. It was stressful. This project took a lot of effort and dedication. Our first day of filming took place on a Tuesday afternoon. I called everyone the night before and told them to be at my house around 12pm or 1pm. One of my group mates, which is also my best friend, Nicholas, had to come super early because his parents worked. He showed up at 10am which I was okay with. A couple hours went by and Joao and Enzo said they wouldn't be able to get there until 3pm, which wasn't an issue but I wanted to get this filming over with. In the middle of all of this, I still had to go pick up my step sisters from their house. I did not know how I was going to get them because I do ...

Welcome back bloggers! In my last blog i talked about our filming process. I explained the difficulties and the easy parts of it. In this blog, I will be talking about some of the things we filmed a specific way to edit it a specific way. To film our video we used my phone. I have an iPhone 13 pro max which has a very good camera and the quality is amazing. To edit our video we used iMovie. I have a MacBook Pro which already comes with the iMovie app. So we decided to use my computer for the editing. I have already edited things on iMovie in the past but never a Music Video. I had to learn how to do a couple things but I got the hang of it. One of the things that took the most time when editing, was matching the video with the song. Because once we put all the videos together, we had to cut them, or the song, so the clips could match with the song. For example, in one of the scenes we filmed, the little girl is running with her dog. We put this part in slow motion so the clip could be ...

Hi Bloggers! Welcome back. In my last blog i talked about some of the props we used and how the experience went for us. In this blog, i will be talking about our filming process. Filming went mostly well. We only needed two days to film the whole music video. The process of it was simple and easy. We did have to film the scenes multiple times though. This was because we filmed different shots from different perspectives to see which ones looked better. We also had to film a scene more than once because of the fact that there were little girls in this video and they get distracted very easily. They would look at the camera, laugh, etc. Something that was very hard about filming, was the dog. Obviously the dog is not an actor so it was very hard for us to get him to act “normal” and actually do what we were trying to get him to do. This was the main reason why it took us longer than it should have. Filming this was very fun in general. We got to hang out with each other. We made good lau...

Hello Bloggers. Welcome back! in my last blog you heard about everything me and my group mates did to find the song we were going to use. I mentioned how hard and stressful it was for us. Once the song process was over, we were happy and exited to continue with this process. In this blog i am going to be talking about our props. in our music video, we had a lot props. So what we did was meet up one day and go buy everything we needed. we went to party city to buy most of them. Me and some of my group mates already had some of the props we needed to use. This came in handy so we didn’t have to spend so much money.  We had a lot of fun buying these props because it was really funny. We tried them on and everyone just looked really funny. We knew from this point that filming was going to take a while. We would all be laughing the whole time and it’s going to take forever. One of our props was a mustache that one of my group mates had to use to play as the dad in the story. We had to f...
