Music Video Intro Blog

 For my music video project, I have chosen to work alone. I chose to work alone because I do not want to have to rely on anyone or their schedule. I feel this way due to my own experience with my own schedule. I work four days a week, and the days I have off are not consistent so I don't want to have anyone rely on me and my availability. I also chose to work alone so I can accomplish my vision alone. By working alone, I don't need to concede to anyone else's opinions. I don't have to change my ideas and I can do things my way. I chose to work alone because I know I will do the work. For this project, a million song ideas rushed to mind. I feel as if a sad dramatic song would be the easiest to portray.  This is my choice of genre because I feel like it could really tell a story. Now when it comes to the artists, a few popped into my head. The one I am going to go with is Sam Smith. The song i am thinking of is "I Know I'm Not the Only One." This song presents a clear storyline. It is a song about cheating so I know I would need actors to portray the mood. I think this song is a good fit because it goes through emotions people feel on a daily. People cheat all the time. This fact alone would make it easy for many to connect with the song. My hardest task will be finding a way to represent people connecting to my video.

Music Video Storyboard

 So at this point, I'm 100% sure of my song choice. I know I'm not the only one by Sam Smith is my final decision, no changing it now. As my storyboard shows, I'm not the best artist. In this blog, I will take the time to detail each of the 12 squares. Each of the scenes is only in 2 locations, so I can't foresee a problem with filming. I now have actors in place, but for now, they will be referred to as actor 1 and actor 2.  square 1: Actor one lies awake as actor 2 leaves early in the morning.  square 2: The scene cuts to actor one at the beach contemplating sadly, as she reflects on her relationship. square 3: Actor one stares out of the window solemnly in the kitchen as actor 2 comes up behind her with flowers.  square 4: Actor 1 notices a message on actor 2's phone confirming her suspicions. square 5: actor 1 lies awake another night, as actor 2 sleeps peacefully. square 6: The scene cuts back to actor one sitting on the beach reflecting, and then suddenly she

Zephyrhills filming commercial blog

 Throughout the filming of my commercial, I ran into a multitude of problems that put me behind schedule. The weather was bad, which I had planned for, but I still wanted to keep the main concept of my commercial. In order to do this, I had to push the filming date back until the weather was more suitable. To begin the filming process, I took the shots I could do from home. The backyard shot, as well as the slow-motion scene showcasing the water, was done first. I shot each scene on my iPhone. The next step, was the beach scene as it was the furthest away so I wanted to get it done. The process was short, as I only did three takes, incorporating a selection of angles for me to chose from. The next scene I shot at was the park. I found a small park next to my house filled with natural light. I felt this was the perfect place to make my shot look like in incorporated nature. Once again, it was a short and simple process. I did about 5 takes here, so I would have options for my final cut.

 Hello! My name is Madison Riggs. I am an 11th-grade student and I currently attend Fort Lauderdale Highschool. I am 16, turning 17 in November, and that's something I'm quite looking forward to. I participate in the Marching Band as well as Symphonic Winds. I have played the flute since the third grade. I also play piccolo and a bit of piano, and I enjoy using my time making music. I would consider band my number one hobby but along with that, I have 2 dogs I love spending time with. After a long day of school and homework, coming home to two cute dogs excited to see you is a warm feeling. Speaking of home, I live with my mom along with those two cute dogs. I am my mom's only child, so it's just us. Being an only child can get a little boring, so I try to spend as much time with family as I can when I'm not busy at work or school. I currently work at Black Rock Fort Lauderdale, where I am a host. Between keeping up my grades, band, and work, I find myself with no f
