  Scene 1: Our music video starts out with all the characters walking up to a ticket booth. The ticket booth of an ice skating rink. The characters hand the ticket booth worker money and buy their tickets. This will be a medium-long shot. Scene 2: There is a wipe transition to characters walking to the rink. They head over to the ice skates place. This will be an over the shoulder shot. Scene 3: There is a jump cut. They then purchase their ice skates. Everyone now grabs their ice skates in a medium-long shot. Scene 4: This scene starts out with a split screen of character putting on their ice skates. Tying their laces. It beings with a fade-in. Scene 5: Our characters walk onto the ice. We are using a tracking shot to follow them around the ice skating rink.  Scene 6: One of our characters is focused on. They are ice skating as well. This character slips and falls on the ice. We then use a quick zoom into our characters head for a transition into our next scene. Scene 7: Star...

     Since my group and I decided to do “Baby It’s Cold Outside” by John Legend, sung by Idina Menzel, we planned to do everything Holiday themed. Our main props are anything Christmas/holiday themed. Such as candy canes and Christmas lights. In our commercial, we plan to have every group member participate. Our actors would wear Christmas clothes. Such as, Christmas sweaters, Santa hats, and reindeer ears. We would also be wearing winter clothes, and look festive. Such as mittens, hats, and scarves. The  girls could also braid their hair and put it up to fit the theme of winter. On 11/15/21 we will create the storyboard for the music video. We will also establish the props, costumes. On 11/21/21-11/22/21 we will film shots that include ice-skating at the Glacier Ice Rink. On 11/24/21 we will finish up the editing for the music video. We plan to get the filming and editing finished around the same time. We will also film at the Galleria mall showcasing the Christmas ...

My group is using the song “Baby It’s Cold Outside '' by John Legend, sung by Idina Menze. In the genre of Holiday music, according to my research, using “Last Christmas” by Wham! and “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey. The music video must include: Snow Bright Lighting Costumes relating to the holiday such as: Santa hats Reindeer Horns Etc. Camera Angles and Movements such as Zoom (To emphasis a person place or thing) Pan (To show scenery) Camera shots such as: Wide shot (to show environment) Long shot (to show the characters dancing or running around) Close-ups (to show facial expressions or reactions) Tracking shot (to emphasis what a person is doing during the shot) Many two-shots and three-shots (or as many people as there are in the frame) Fade out shots (to show how one scene relates and transitions to the next) Since I am filming a music video, music will be playing over the video. In videos such as these there are many props such as fake snow, ice skates...

    I'm Addison Walker, and today we chose our groups for the music video project. I was so excited to have friends in my media studies class! Most of my classes I don't have any friends to do projects with, so I really enjoy Media Studies. Since I know people in the class, I already knew who the general people in my group would be. Ben Polsky and Kaya Zeeler are in my class, and we decided to be a group together with our other friend Lily Oniel. It was easy to pick a group, because we all collectively wanted to work together.      We all were excited to do this project together, and all had plenty of ideas of what to do. We were debating on doing multiple songs. We have to decide on a song that we all collectively like. It also has to be school appropriate. Ben and I both have a pretty broad music taste, so it would be pretty easy to find a song. It will also be easier because we all have a similar idea of the type of song we want to do. We also were trying to ...

  I'm Addison Walker and I am a Sophomore at Fort Lauderdale High-School. Before choosing AICE Media Studies, I have always loved editing and filming. I would make little movies with my friends all the time growing up. In middle school, we would always have to do projects where we make films. They were my absolute favorite thing to do. I would spend hours learning how to use iMovie and eventually got pretty good at it. It was so fun to learn how to edit and film properly on my own. My older sister, previously took Media Studies, and suggested I take it, too. So, when I chose my classes, I wrote down Media Studies as one of my first picks. I was so excited to take a class on one of my favorite activities to do. I also ended up having some of my friends in the class, too. I enjoyed the fact that we got to choose where we sat for the rest of the year. After hearing all the fun assignments we were going to do, I was ecstatic. When I heard our second project was going to be making a mus...
