AICE media studies: Music Video Intro Blog

 The person I chose to work with is another student in this class, Joseph Gonzalez. He also takes media studies and I've known him for a long time. In fact we went through all of elementary school and middle school as more or less best friends. We had a mini falling out near the end of last year and the beginning for this year. But I don't put that on him, especially because of all this that's going on. Anyway everything between us is fine. And even if it was not, I'd still trust his ability to work hard on anything he does. So it only makes sense that we partner up together and do this because I can trust him to do his part well and efficiently. As for the music video, the song we both agreed with was Riptide by Vance Joy. To be completely honest, I like this song but my partner was OBSESSED with it for many months. He doesn't play it around our friends as much anymore but it was a widely liked song and he suggested it. Plus I had no other options to provide anyways. Along with that, although it sounds silly, this song holds a special place in both of our hearts. Our school had middle school and elementary mixed in so after almost 9 years in the same school things will get emotional when you leave. And of course at our little graduation from 8th grade ceremony there was a huge party. The song doesn't even correlate at all  to leaving a place but rather about a falling out with someone that you love. Either way, it played and made everyone cry, so I can only imagine why Joseph chose the song. The feelings we felt when we left are attached to the song and it makes both of us reminisce on our younger selves and friendships. Here is the album cover art where the song is featured. It's called God Loves You When You're Dancing. Although there's an entire album, this one song is his most popular. And well deserved to be frank, it has a great melody and flow to it.

 As of today, no filming has been done. We have made a few tweaks to our storyboard. Also we have been collecting materials and props we would need. We bought a basketball as one of the major props. After that we used a pump to make sure its not deflated. The basketball is the most important prop of this project. And we needed to make sure we have everything settled. As for when filming will begin, I'm not sure. Next week will be my last week in this Airbnb. but my house isn't finished. So my mother is looking for other places to stay in the meantime. Wherever it is, Ill have to be there for 4 weeks. Which is annoying and irritating to even think about. But that's life so we have to deal with it. I could just ask my mother to drive me to the locations for filming. On the days she doesn't have work she probably can. But regardless it should be alright. The filming should be finished in a day or two. Then the hard part is over. Until then I guess I'll be waiting.

 As of today filming has not started. It will take a while in order for me and my partner to start recording. I'm still in the Airbnb, far away from every filming location. But soon I will be back in my home and ready to film. In order to film we will need a third actor as well. Luckily for us, I talked to our mutual friend and he said he'll help act. He's also in Media Studies, but he is in S level. While me and my partner are in AS. Along with that the three locations are close to his house, my partners house, and mine as well. We can start filming now but it would be very slow. And also very inconvenient for everybody involved. For now though we will be cleaning things up with our script. Just making sure things flow and look right. Sometimes there are little errors you forget to correct. But it's not that bad and I'm not changing anything major. Like I said only small details will be changed. Mainly storyboard angles and stuff. We will have to be resourceful and...
