I needed to get some progress on my music video. So over the break I decided to do some filming with my groupmates. Well that was the plan. But one of our groupmates was busy and could not film. Originally me and my group would have finished all of the filming in one day. But since we did not want to shoot the whole video without a critical part of our group. Since she has a car she would have been able to drive us to our filming destination and helped us out. But instead we did a slight portion without her. So we did our first four scenes. These took place at the airport. It was just me walking out and being greeted. But here is where my Dad comes and helps out. He drove us to the airport. As well let us use the car to film a driving scene. My first scene actually involved him putting in directions to the airport. This is a slight change to my storyboard since Julie was supposed to be the one in this position. Also instead of Beckett filming everything, which he still did some filming

  Scene 1:   In the first scene, we will be showing Julie’s phone. This shot will feature a  close  up  on her phone showing  her putting   directions  to the airport. The music would have already started at the start of the scene.   Scene 2:    In the second scene,  we will show the car  driving  into the airport. We will zoom into the airport sign here.   Scene 3:   Sean walks out of the airport and the c amera  shows him from the feet up to his head using a tilt. The camera  then  transitions to an eye-level shot showing S ean looking around for  us.   Scene 4:   The car pulls up  into the  pickup  zone and  everyone  hugs/greets  Sean and   Julie puts the bag into the trunk. Shows picnic  basket .   Scene 5:   As we drive away from the  airport,  we pass the  Hollywood  Florida sign. When we get to  it  we zoom into it as we drive to show we are in fact in Hollywood like in the song.   Scene 6:   Scene 6 is shot at a high  angle,  and it shows us eating lunch. It shows the top of o

After  finishing  the  research,  we  have  decided the best theme for our music video is a pop song theme. We decided that plan A is to do the pop song  “ Party  in   the  USA ” .   This was sung by Miley Cyrus  when she was  younger,  and it was in 2009.  For  now,  we have  a long list  of props we plan to use.  We plan to start with a scene at  the Fort  Lauderdale Executive Airport. There we will  do  a scene  where we  pick  up Sean from the airport. We will be using a car and a suitcase as our props. When he exits the airport Julie will put his bag in the trunk and then we will  do  a group hug welcoming  him as if we have not seen him in a long time.  When Julie puts the bag in the  trunk,  we will show that we have a picnic basket for lunch in the trunk.   Then  while driving back fro m the airport we will  have a scene of the three of us partying in the car, jamming out to some m usic.  We will drive to the beach and  have lunch from the picnic basket that was seen at the sta
