HAII!!! It's me, Kyla, the person who's running this blog. NEW PROJECT! This new project is a music video. Ringing a bell? YES! We did a music video last year with the song Sugar. Now our song is Don't Stop Believin' by Journey and my fabulous teammates are
Denae,
Ashley and
Jhoanna. Check out their blogs there <----. We used the first 2 minutes of the song and we had to cut it down a bit since there was long instrumental parts. We unfortunately didn't get the don't stop believing parts since there was 4 minutes and we had to choose the best 2 minutes of the song. We wanted to beginning because that starts off the story so we picked the first 2 minutes as I said. More in depth about our music video, our story is about a girl and a boy. They set out to the outside world to pursue their careers. In the process of doing so, they pass and bump into each other. Turns out they have the same career in mind. Through that, they become friends and to tell you guys, I guess this is like a prequel from Sugar. Yes, same characters that led the story from our last years music video. If you know Don't Stop Believin' by heart, it has the same storyline. The lyrics saying a small town girl and a city boy going out to a train that goes anywhere. (I swear I should stop doing stupid introductions like what I just did.)

My favorite fast-edit montage sequence is when it skips through the lip syncs. Lip sync to lip sync, I like it because the different location and the different people on each of then. So one would have me the other me, Denae and Jhoanna then the other is Ashley, it's like that. It varies through 4 of us. It takes about like 3 seconds then it goes to the next video but we can make that shorter so it's a dramatic constant changing. It's my favorite because it's different from the previous lip syncs that passed. It takes you to different places and different people and how they're lip syncing. One might be one of us just standing and the other shot would be 3 of us being playful and you can tell that we enjoyed filming our lip syncs through our expressions. We were smiling and being goofy but we still got things done although we were being goofy. If you add fun into what you're doing through the hardship, you will end up to have a good outcome. If you work efficiently, you will get what you want. I was planning to make one that skips through each video for about 1 second because that would look cool. Although we didn't have enough time and I learned something which is to use your time wisely and not spend it with other people... but that is what we got. (btw you should totally check out my captions because they are totally good captions that will totally blow your mind)

This music video shows my teammates and my best work through working with cameras and inputting what we learned throughout the year in this music video. We learned composition techniques, shot types, editing and photoshop and things like that. Through our music video we will mix all what we learned to create a video that showcases us and our skills. We are working hard on this project and this is my favorite project we do each year. From Photoshop and editing to make a good intro screen, it is hard. Editing in iMovie is like the hardest, we can include transitions and such, we have to get our lip synced with the audio (fairly hard), we need the whole video to make sense, it's testing us, testing what we know. If we've been paying attention a lot then our work will be awesome. I hope you guys will like it and let me tell you that a
DEADLINE IS A DEADLINE. No exceptions and if we didn't have the best video, we still tried. This is because we didn't get the whole class to edit and only half of it so we had to rush. Some of our teammates had to stay after school and do some finishing touches but we got it exported. Yes, we could've done better but
A DEADLINE IS A DEADLINE. Next year, our music video will be better than the 2 music videos we have done.
