At the mall filming blog

My  teammate  and  I had our first day filming today, and we decided to go to our second location  first because that is where most of the shots need to be filmed . The first thing we did when we arrived at the mall  was create   a  plan for where we should go first  for  each  scene.We headed to stores that appeared to be high-end and filmed  the  first  scene  there. We did a couple takes trying to get the angles and use them. We took a few takes get the angles and use them correctly, and because my teammate was the one mostly in the scenes, I filmed and showed her what needed to be changed or redone. My teammate filmed and told me what needed to be changed or redone when it was my turn to be in the film. After visiting each store, I would pass my teammate well-known brand bags as she left each one to make it appear as though she purchased a large amount of items for the scene .We took a break at the food court after that and rewatched each footage to see if we were happy with the re

My group is doing “If I was a rich girl'' by Gwen Stefani from the pop genre. This genre of music usually aims at the younger audience ranging from teens to younger adults. In this genre there is always a good rhythm and catchy melody. They wear costumes that are usually very flashy, with bright colors, bold jewelry, and standout clothes and accessories. Everything is mainstream. Props include microphones, instruments, and variations of lights such as natural light or party lights. Their appearance is usually portrayed as happy, enjoying and content with life The score is often fast paced to add excitement and energy within the music video. Conventional codes in pop music videos helps the audience get more familiar with the genre as well as create a structure that the audience can enjoy and understand. In the music video the camera is almost always angled to show the singer and follows the main theme, that way the audience gets an understanding of the narrative. Sometimes pop m

I am working with Nurdlie, a friend that I recently made. We share a lot of similarities and have the best time together. I chose to work with Nurdlie because I trust her with my grade. She is responsible and reliable. I trust that I can rely on her for help and support. She also shows a lot of commitment to her work. She is a visionary and I am a strategist, which made me think this was a good balance for a team. We’re skilled in different things, which I think could be helpful for this project. This way we can combine our ideas to make something that represents us. We share different ideas and perspectives and tell the honest truth about what we think of each. We tell each other when we make mistakes and improve on them. We work really well together. Nurdlie is also very time organized, which could keep us both on top of the schedule. Communication and efficiency are one of our strongest components, we keep each other updated and put time and thought into our work. We are both very f

Hi! My name is Naturelle Dixon, I’m 15 years old, and I’m a 10th grader. Math is my favorite subject in school because I’m really good with numbers and problem-solving. One of my favorite things to do in my spare time is read comics or play games with friends. Right now I’m reading the comic “F Minus”, by Tony Carillo. If I could have any superpower it would be teleportation because I get lazy sometimes. If I could keep any animal as a pet, I would choose an elephant because we share the qualities of being laid-back but bold. The games and dances are undoubtedly my favorite aspects of school because I love to attend events. Green is my favorite color, specifically forest green because it reminds me of my cousin nature and gives me a sense of renewal. Winter is my favorite season because my birthday is in December and my favorite holiday, Christmas, is also celebrated at this time. My favorite comfort movies are The Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Art of Getting By. They are both co
