 Hey everyone, and thank you for your continuous support on tagging along in our updates in my partnered music video with Melissa. In our music video, we used conventions when doing our best to portray, someone who is tired and just wants to relax and be rid of distractions. I believed that this represents a social issue because many people in the world in the world feel tired on most days rather than energized. This might seem like a personal problem but I believe it is a social issue because when you are tired, your mind is not focused. Hence, you do more sloppy on jobs or may make more than a few mistakes. Plus, some mistakes can lead to even greater mistakes, where a company or person or something else of value might be in jeopardy. Through the act of being lazy in the music video, audiences can relate and feel the extent of the story which we are trying to tell. They can understand or know the feeling of someone calling and waking them up out of their sleep and their response ...

Hey, Everyone and welcome back to another update on our video. We have finally finished the video and added the last finishing touches. As you all know, for this assignment we were allowed to work with a partner or individually. We chose each other since we were in the same class period and thought it was best to have someone to work with. For our music video project, we chose to do a cover of “The Lazy Song” by Bruno Mars. We choose this song since we can relate to being lazy, procrastinating, or the feeling of just not wanting to do anything. We did have some things in our way, however. My mom had changed her mind about letting me come to Melissa's house after we had already done our storyboard. With me being at my cousin's house we had to rearrange some of the days that we were going to film. Regardless of that, we were able to meet up and finish the music video. In our research stage, we noticed that many people copied what was done in the original video. They had either do...

 Goodnight Everyone, hope you had a fantabulous weekend. I am back with an update on my partnered music video. As you all know in my last blog I gave you updates on the filming part of the music video and how it was going. We finally finished filming this week and have started to edit our video. In most of the shots, we took they had to be cropped. This was due to us adjusting the video and giving examples to our crewmates on how it is to be done. When taking the shots, it was kind of hard to act lazy. We had to retake the shots sometimes because we would laugh or smile when we did not intend to. To be honest it is kind of hard to be lazy on cue. Normally it is just something that comes naturally when you are tired or do not feel like doing anything. Anyway, back to the editing aspect of this music video. We had to download the lazy song by Bruno Mars to insert in the music video. I used mp3 juices to download the song in which I had the option to download it as mp4. As for the edi...

 Hello Everyone and welcome back to another update on my partnered music video. As I mentioned in my last blog there was an unexpected change of plans. I was supposed to be filming at Melissa's house but my mom changed her mind and said that I could no longer go over to her house. Anyway, we agreed and she said that Melissa should come to me. Which in this case is at my cousin's house, where I am currently staying. We were originally supposed to meet up over the Thanksgiving break but did not get the chance to. Nevertheless, we met up on Tuesday and started to film the first part of our music video. Since it was just me and Melissa and no one else to help the film. I asked my cousin who is an adult but very youthful and can be easily taught how to film the angles and shot we need to be taken. My cousin was a little bit lazy and didn't want to move around too much so I had to aid her a little in taking the shots we took. First, I showed her how we needed the shot to be filme...
