Planning Storyboard for my Music Video

First Scene: I planned out my storyboard somewhat according to the lyrics of the song I chose. I did this so that I could bring the story told in this song, to life. I will start off by having my actor standing in front of the mirror. But, I will be just showing her reflection. This will cover the lyrics, "I'm just a mirror, you check your complexion.."

Second Scene: In this scene I will start by panning to the left and then it will end with me tilting up. In this scene there will just be an empty room to show loneliness. This scene will cover the lyrics," To find your reflection's all alone, I had to go."

Third Scene: In this scene I will be tilting down to reveal my actor sitting on the bed with her head in her hands and a book beside her. This will be covering the lines saying, "Can't you hear me? I'm not coming home."

Fourth Scene: My actor will open up her book that is sitting on the bed next to her. This will cover the lines saying, "Do you understand? I've changed my plans..."

Fifth Scene: In this scene, there will be a close up of the sketch book/poem book she may be reading. This is to show her "plans" of what the future may be.

Sixth Scene:  This will be the start of the multi-part ending. It will be shot from a bird's eye view with me filming over my actor who will be in the middle of the bed. It will start with the lyrics, "Cause I..."
 
Seventh Scene: Then this will come immediately after, saying, " I'm in love with my future." In this scene I will still be over my actor but in a close up shot.

Scenes Eight-Eleven: These scene will be covering the line in the song saying, " Can't wait to meet her." Each scene will be less than a second and there will be different flashing galaxy lights. I added this bit at the end to cover the conventions I researched previously.

Scene Twelve: This will be my last scene. In this scene, my actor will be concluding the music video by closing her eyes and turning to the side to go to sleep as the song fades out.



 
See you in the next one!

Editing Blog: My struggles with music & duration

Image
Editing is not my absolute favorite part of filmmaking as of now. I only say this because I'm not very good at it yet and that bothers me. When I watch movies made by famous filmmakers I'm always quick to appreciate its editing. But, after editing a project myself, I understand how hard editing can be. However, editing my Kiss eyelashes commercial was admittedly, not as hard as I first thought it would be. When I get to do more projects like this, I think I'll learn to love it. The only difficultly I encountered was finding the perfect music that would match the theme of my commercial as well as getting the duration of the film right. I had trouble finding the right music because I just felt like any song I'd pick would be insufficient. I looked up songs of all decades. From Aretha Franklin's "Baby Baby Baby" to Beyonce's "Independent Woman." While there were many songs that I were eager to use, none of them felt right to put into a commercia...

Finding props for the final task

Image
 My next task is to find props for the final task. The main thing I had to get was a few photo copies from my local Walgreens. Minor things I had to get were cereal boxes, picture frames, etc. As for the photo copies, there was a bit of difficulty finding a place to print them. Before I learned that I could print them at a convenience store, I had no idea where to go. First, I tried printing them at my house. But, on regular printer paper. This was a total fail. My printer barely had any colored ink and the picture came out black and white. It also came out with very low quality and very pixelated. So, I had to do a bit of searching on the internet. I needed to find out where I could get the best quality pictures for a low price. I went on a few websites, but all of the pricing was too high. Then i went looking in my local area. That’s when I found out that a store not too far away from my house. They had exactly what I needed for the final task. I found everything I was looking fo...

Intro Blog

 Hello to anyone out there reading this. My name is Taelor Barnes and I am a 16 year old. I have an older sister and a dog that has grew up with me since my parents first got her when I was 6. Academically, I am in the eleventh grade at Fort Lauderdale high school. Since ninth grade I have been waiting to take this class; it is one of the most intriguing courses I've heard about and discussed with my guidance counselor. Many of my friends have taken it in prior to the 2020/2021 school year and they have only had good things to say about it. In my previous high school years, I haven't had the chance to take this class due to my hectic schedule.  I am taking this class because I have always been interested in film and media. Ever since I could understand and interpret movies, I have been obsessed with knowing everything about them. Even with professional photography alteration, I think I may just be a tiny bit more analytical than the average person. I hyper fixate on many diffe...
