 Hii blog, I’m back!! Today my group and I are editing all the clips together. Since my group decided to divide the duties with this project we choose a specific person to do the editing. Owen, who happens to be the most experienced in everything to has to do with editing taught me and Michelle all new things for our future blogs. First, my group and I gathered all of our favorites clip of what we filmed and the audio that was clean for our song. Then, all of the clips were organized the way it fit the storyline correctly in a file and began debating which program was going to be used. At the end, as a group we decided CapCut because as I’ve previously said it’s one of the most simple programs to be used. Then, Owen cut all of the clips to make a cohesive storyline and have an effective visual flow. Owen played around with the timing multiple time making it the best it could be which taught me how to effectively use the cutting feature on the program.Owen also taught us how to add ...

 Hii blog, I’m back!! Yesterday was the final day of filming which means the scenes are finally done. My group and I went back to film our final six scenes. This time we had a more of an idea on how filming works and  knew when to start our scenes. While we were there we changed little details that we had not expected. For example, for the split-scene we decided to switch it for the camera to go around which gave it a nicer look. I also had a little trouble getting the phone to focus and look nice in camera which also took a couple tries to make it the best i could. For the eight scene, it also brought me trouble since we didn’t have anyone to drive in a bumpy road so we had to improvise with moving the camera. For the 9th scene, involving the little kids i had to improvise since the kids that were supposed to act in our video were unavailable for the day we needed them. So for that scene, i had to get a clip out of the internet which was our plan B. For the other car scene, t...

  Hii blog, I’m back with the awaited part one of filming!! We planned on to film on two different days to be able to portray the toxic couple feeling through our video. Today, we filmed for the first time the first six scenes. To be honest, I think it took us a couple tries on the first two scenes to get the hang of filming but so far it’s been great! On the first scene, it was the beginning of our couple story which starts with the deja vu flashback of a couple. This scenes took my group and I a couple of tries since we felt so awkward filming and wanted to really show the emotion one may feel in the deja vu moments. By the second scene, since we were away from more people we felt more comfortable and finally understood how to show that emotion. For the third and fourth scene it was a little easier since there was not much people by the restaurant area and the actors and myself, the videographer had gotten more used to the camera and the strong emotions. The fifth scene was one o...

 Hii blog, I’m back!!  So far in the project, my group and I haven't started filming. Yet, I’m very excited for next week since it’s officially filming week!! Due to multiple days off the upcoming week I’ve decided to take advantage and begging the filming journey. Honestly, i am beyond excited to see the ideas come to life. All of the elements of the project has demostrasted each of my group members strengths and weakness. This has helped us not only come closer but also determine what each of our roles will be. As i previously said in my other blog I’m going to be the one filing since it’s one of my stronger fields. I’m thrilled to make you guys a part of it by blogging every detail of the filiming and editing process in the upcoming blogs. To be honest, this is more than a project for me. This is a learning experience that helps me master different skills that will probably be useful in my future. The multiple blogs we make just helps me remark every new thing we’ve learned...

Hii blog, I’m back to introduce my group for the music video!! My group is my two of my dear friends from my media class, Owen and Michelle. Owen and Michelle have been my friends since day one in the class. I was already familiar with Michelle because of a mutual friend. Owen and me became friends in the class. I like Owen and Michelle because they’re scholars and do their work in time. I know if i worked with them we will have a neat and beautiful project. I choose to work with them because in my opinion they’re one in the few people in the class that take work seriously and put their all into an assignment and to not the assignments that have the highest percentage in class. I’m very excited to work with them because of all of our personalities would be in one video. All of ours personalities mixed together with the process of choosing the song really showed how different all three of us are. At first, we had agreed in an album which is ‘Blonde’ by Frank ocean which is a really mean...

Hiii Blog, I’m back and excited to start my music video! My name is Roselyn Rodriguez but my friends call me Rose, I’m 15 years old and a sophomore in Fort Lauderdale High-School. I’m originally from Caracas, Venezuela and came to the US at 10 years old not knowing any english. In over 5 years i’ve been able to improve my english and make it my second language!!  I have an older brother, younger sister and two Pit-bulls who are in theory my siblings. I love the beach and spending time with friends, I actually celebrated my Quince (fifteenth birthday) at South Beach surrounded by friends. I like doing well in school (academic validation is my guilty pressure) which inspired me into entering NJHS (National Junior Honor Society) and Cambridge. I dislike people who are too self-centered and end up pushing friends away by selfishness. Honestly, speaking in Spanish is one of my favorite things ever (even if my mom makes fun of me for the spanglish). Music is such a key to my life, I like...
