  Storyboard Blog Scene 1: Our music video starts out with all the characters walking up to a ticket booth. The ticket booth of an ice skating rink. The characters hand the ticket booth worker money and buy their tickets. This will be a medium-long shot. Scene 2: There is a wipe transition to characters walking to the rink. They head over to the ice skates place. This will be an over the shoulder shot. Scene 3: There is a jump cut. They then purchase their ice skates. Everyone now grabs their ice skates in a medium-long shot. Scene 4: This scene starts out with a split screen of character putting on their ice skates. Tying their laces. It beings with a fade-in. Scene 5: Our characters walk onto the ice. We are using a tracking shot to follow them around the ice skating rink.  Scene 6: One of our characters is focused on. They are ice skating as well. This character slips and falls on the ice. We then use a quick zoom into our characters head for a transition into our next scene. Scene

My group is using the song “Baby It’s Cold Outside '' by John Legend, sung by Idina Menze. In the genre of Holiday music, according to my research, using “Last Christmas” by Wham! and “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey. The music video must include: Snow Bright Lighting Costumes relating to the holiday such as: Santa hats Reindeer Horns Etc. Camera Angles and Movements such as Zoom (To emphasis a person place or thing) Pan (To show scenery) Camera shots such as: Wide shot (to show environment) Long shot (to show the characters dancing or running around) Close-ups (to show facial expressions or reactions) Tracking shot (to emphasis what a person is doing during the shot) Many two-shots and three-shots (or as many people as there are in the frame) Fade out shots (to show how one scene relates and transitions to the next) Since I am filming a music video, music will be playing over the video. In videos such as these there are many props such as fake snow, ice skates

  My group for the music video is me, Kaya, Ben, and Addison. I have been friends with them for a very long time and I think they are great people to do this project with. We all usually have similar ideas. Our personalities go well together and do not clash. I chose them for this project because I know I can count on them to do their share of the work. They are very creative and can help with the brainstorming aspect of the project. Ben actually makes music so he could help us determine what we should put in the video. We all love being in front of the camera, but also behind so we can all be in the video. We always work well together and listen to each other. We communicate ideas well and can agree on things. We avoid arguing and have different skills we can provide to make a good music video. I enjoy editing, which can help with the commercial. Addison enjoys drawing and is good at it which can help with the storyboard for the commercial. I think it was a good idea to choose them fo

 Hi, my name is Lily and I am a sophomore in high school. I am very excited to start the second project in my journey in AICE Media Studies, especially since we are back in school full-time. I have always had a special interest in filming and editing, which is why I think this class is a perfect fit for me. I just bought a new canon camera for personal use, and now I can use it to film for AICE Media Studies. Other than filmmaking and editing, I enjoy playing and watching many sports. I play volleyball, soccer, and softball for my school teams and private travel teams. I also enjoy watching those sports, along with American football, baseball, golf, basketball, and more. I come from a very athletic family, with my brother being a college baseball player, my father who is a former professional golfer, and my other brother being a college football player. In total, I have three brothers and two sisters, me being the youngest. I love having a big family because there is always something g
