ACTION!!

Image
 Hey guys welcome back! So we've already shot for the music video. I, along with a few others, were part of the music video. I got there around 1:30 PM, afterwords, the rest of the team arrived. I showed them the areas that I thought would be perfect, like next to BurgerFi. After a few shots, we got enough shots of the main character, afterwords when I was helping out record the group, some problems arose. The location was staring to get full and aside from that, the weather was getting bad. Out of no where it started to rain and decided to look for shelter. It rained REAL bad, some parts there were even a little flooded. I was only able to film a few shots because the other areas had become inaccessible. Then others on the team had to leave and only a few were left. So, on top of not being able to film it completely, team members are going to be busy tomorrow. So now I have to ask around by tomorrow to ask if anyone wants to be part of the music video, or else there's going to...

LIGHTS, CAMARA, ACTION!

 Hey guys welcome back! It's finally time to shoot. The team has agreed that this weekend should be ideal for finally going to the location. I have setbacks though, this weekend, the competition for mock trial was extended and I don't know how to make time for everything. This project is due to and this weekend is the only opening that the whole team has. Everyone else has been busy on the weekends, this is so stressful. The team has already started recording the opening. Ayanna and Stanley have been recording the opening and planing while I have been figuring out the angles and finalizing the details on how to shoot the activities at the location. We've decided to use an I-phone to record some of the scenes, which I feel would make the process a little harder in my opinion. In my mind, I was thinking of doing some high angles but I don't think it's gonna be possible. I need to talk about costumes, I was thinking that certain colors might look better, much more happ...

Troubles and proposals

 Hey guys welcome back! So a bit has been happening, and a little has been discussed about the location. Well one of the team members had brought up to the team the location, suggesting a new place to film. The group decided to investigate the place a little more, it was good location with more available options but there were a few issues that led the idea to be discarded. For starters, the location was far for a some of the members. Another issue was the actual locations at the store. Although the new location had more stores, therefore more scene options, it didn't have a place to shoot one of our main scenes, the movie theater scene. Each person had to take a voting, whether to discard the scene or not. However, after a bit of debating, the team decided to stick with the original plan and thought it was for the best. A change in locations would have resulted in more changes than necessary, as the timing and schedule would've had to change to accommodate everyone. Other than...

Roles in the Music Video.

 Heyy good to see you again!      So, now that the planing and location is done, the roles for the team were assigned. Not really assigned, there's no team captain, everyone just chose what they would contribute. I helped out with the storyboard, but there were a few changes through out the planning phase. That included the location of the music video and the format of how it was going to be filmed. There were gonna be two versions of the idea of fake friends for the video. One version was where the actions would be happening in the same place and same time, comparing both scenes through a split-screen. The other version was where similar activities would be happening, but they would be in different locations. There was a lot of disagreement at first regarding the realistic side and imaginary side of the argument. In the end, after asking many people of their view, it was decided that the realistic side of the argument won and that the format would be similar activit...

 Welcome back! For this new project, I will be working in a team with Ayanna, Benjamin, and Stanley. I choose to work with them because well I know them, but because I know how efficient and hardworking they are. I've known Ayannah and Benjamin since last year, I had both in my court procedures class and I had Ayannah in my math class. From personal experience, I know how amazing they are. Benjamin is amazing person with keeping up with work, he's smart, and has amazing ideas. Ayannah is sweet she welcoming, but she's so much more. She's smart and keeps up with the work, she's very efficient in the sense that she is always reminding me about details I may have forgotten and quick to make decisions. I meet Stanley the year but I can already tell that he's gonna be a great team player. I have him in my European history class but I always see him always working hard. I feel that having them on my group will help us finish this project soon and it'll come out go...

I was born here in the United States however, my first language was spanish. I know spanish, english and I am in the process of learning French. My goal in life has always been to go to collage, I’ve loved school since I was a kid. I’ve been having a hard time in school recently balancing everything but I haven’t given up.

However, for several reasons, my path of pursuit has changed and I’ve decided to achieve what could have been my mothers career, as a lawyer, more specifically, an immigration lawyer. As a kid I disliked lawyers, I could never see myself working on a case on a desk, to me, working outside in the field was my motivation. Although the lawyer career doesn’t seem that bad now, it is ...
