 Now that we have finished filming it's time to put our music video together. We will be using CapCut to put together all our clips and add the music. While filming we tried to film scenes starting and ending with transitions. This will help the video look cleaner and well put together. We have all used CapCut in the past so filming should go pretty smoothly. Uploading the scenes and putting them together is very easy. CapCut is easy to use because it is build for people like us that have little to no experience editing videos. Nun the less I am confident that we can put together this music video in a timely matter. When editing in the past I have always downloaded all my videos to one folder before uploading them to CapCut. This has been my favorite method. But this time I will have to have my group members send me their videos off their phones. This will add another step to the process. Also in the past it has been very difficult for me to send longer videos to others. I believe

 In today's blog I will talk about how we finished our final scenes. We ended off with about 6 scenes left to film. The main reason we could't finish is because of our location. Many of your scenes re quire props that we do not have access to at Holiday Park. The main one is a piano. The only place we have access to a piano is at Alex Dimartino's house. We also needed access to a gaming set up. We needed this specifically for two of our scenes. Having Alex's house as an option was very helpful. Another obstacle we came about was remembering the words of the song. Many times we. had to stop filming because one of us forgot what the words were. Our solution to this was play the song in the background whenever we took a break. Most times we would sing along as we enjoyed our food and drinks. After about ten times of listening to the song we were able to remember most of the words. This made filming go much smoother. Another problem we had was laughing. In most serious situ

My group and I completed our first day of filming. The location we filmed at was Holiday Park. This was the perfect location for most of our scenes. This is because of its safe environment, easy access, and sports fields. We used our iPhones to film. Use our iPhones came with many benefits. Whenever one of our phones got low on battery we were able to switch to another. Also it is very easy to transfer videos between devices. Knowing all the different angles used in filming has been very helpful. My favorite shot is the POV shot. It puts the camera in the POV of the character. This can give details that wouldn't have been relieved otherwise. We had a couple obstacles while filming. At first the fields we planned to use were occupied. We had to wait until the fields were not in use in order to film some of our scenes. Also we had trouble getting steady shots. Most of the time due to fatigue from the sun our hands were shaky. Thus making the film unsteady. We solved this problem by t

 Welcome back to my blog. My group has decided to film our video this Sunday. Our first location will be Holiday Park. There we will be able to film our first 6 scenes. We will be in the sun and running. Because of this we plan on bringing waters and sunscreen. We have also prepared our props that we will be using. Such as a football. And a progress card. We estimate that these 6 scenes will take around 2 hours to film. For the remaining scenes we will have to change locations. We plan on going to one of our houses to finish filming. The one challenge we will have to overcome is finding a piano. Because a piano is heard throughout the song we thought it would be a good idea to have a scene of one of us playing it. Although none of us own a piano. This is not our first challenge that we have faced. Because of this I am confident that we will find a solution. Overall I believe we will be able to complete our filming in one day. As we are amateurs I do expect other difficulties along the

 As of now my group has been thinking of the best way to start this project. First we need to find filming locations. We have come up with one of our houses. Holiday Park. Or even Las Olas Blvd. We feel these three filming locations will satisfy our needs when filming our scenes. We have also started sharing our knowledge about what we learned from our last project with each other. I personally have made a document with my resources and tools I used previously. I have also looked into the props we are going to need for most scenes. Real props can be expensive so I have opted to ether making my own or asking friends and family for them. No luck yet! Some of the props I have collected already. That would include a football. Most people have a football laying around. Thats why we decided it would be a good prop for our music video. One of our filming locations is Holiday Park. This is a public park that all of us grew up playing sports at. We have access to every kind of sports field at a

   Hello, my group consists of me Alexander Nordyke Nathanile Greene and Alex Dimartino. We are doing 7 years by Lukas Graham. This song is considered pop or r&b. We will be filming in multiple places. The first place will be Alex Nordyke's house. The second place will be at Alex Dimartino's house. The backup plan will be at the galleria mall. We will use old clothes. Whether these consist of mine or one of my group mates for costumes. We will use some of Alex Nordykes old stuff from around the house for props. If needed we will go and buy some extra props. But we will use mostly outdoors and some indoors stuff for props. The backup plan will be to bring our props to the Galleria. We will first get permission from the mall security and the police. We will then film where and when there will not be a lot of people around to make the backup plan take any longer. Our other backup plan will be on the streets of Las Olas. We will film in an area with less people. Our planning fo

 My group will consist of myself and my good friends Alex and Nathanial. I chose to do this project with them because we have a productive friendship. I feel working with Alex and Nathanial will make the project have a good turnout. Both of my group mates have experience filming and editing.  The song we chose is 7 Years by Lukas Graham. I grew up listening to this song so it has a special place in my heart. The lyrics also have a lot of meaning. The song depicts a child growing up and being told what life will be like if he doesn't change. It also talks about each stage of life. The song is also very emotional. The artist has deep attachment to the story being told. He has a strong voice that allows the listeners to hear the emotion behind his words. Even though the artist is still young he talks about turning 60 years old. He also talks about his hopes for when he is that age. He specifically states; "I hope my children come and visit once for twice a month...". Even th

    Welcome to my first blog post. My name is Alex Nordyke. I don't particularly like writing about my self but I need a good grade in this class. I like to go to the gym. I feel the gym is very important for youth. It can help improve mental and physical health. I also enjoy boating and various water sports. I've always had good balance so board sports come naturally to me. I wouldn't go as far to say that I'm an "adrenaline junkie," but I do like doing things that put me outside of my comfort zone. I've recently learned how to do flips in to water and from various heights. Whenever I'm with my friends I always teach them what I learn and we progress together. I also don't like school. I've always felt school is a waste of time in terms of the material we are learning. Although there are some exceptions. I don't predict that this will change though. In terms of learning social skills though, school is great. I feel that the social impact t
