Music Video Planning Blog

 For my music video, I have a clear picture in my mind of how I want it to happen. I will use actors to portray the characters of the song. Since the song is about a relationship, I will need 2, but I don't know if I want it to be a normal heterosexual relationship. So for that reason, I may decide to use 2 girl actors. These 2 actors will be in normal clothes, nothing too crazy. Props will include flowers, a cellphone, and then the house along with other locations we will be shooting in. The whole idea of the video will be for actor one to catch actor 2 cheating, with the help of the cellphone. This will be a clear way to portray the message of the song. I plan to film this video in pieces. I can do all shots for one location on one day. I think I will start with the home shots, as those require less traveling. Then I will move on to different locations such as the beach. The beach is easy to use because it is so close. I want to complete the filming in 2 days. Maybe 3 days if I need it. I want to have it done so I can move on to editing and complete that in a day as well. I don't think this process will take too long, especially if everything is planned out. The only problem I might run into is finding two girls to be my actors. Representation is something that I want in my video so I think having a homosexual relationship would be a nice change. It would not only make my video stand out but if it was being distributed as a real music video, it would be an element some could connect to. The plan is to have my filming done by the 25th, so then i can begin on the final touches.

 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

 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
