The 2 pitches I narrowed it down to are:
1. Girls having a day out. What's going to happen when they realize one of them have a stalker? Who's going to make it out alive?
2. A visit to a friend's house takes a left turn after her friend tells her deepest darkest secret. What is the secret?
Pitch 1 is good because it is a reasonable idea I can do. It's bad because most places don't allow video recordings. So the places we can go are limited.
Pitch 2 is good because it is also reasonable. But I don't think anyone would want to follow us in a car.
I'm deciding to put the 2 pitches together, I will record at a park but still have the idea of a stalker.

Filming blog #2
Me and my group started filming on Saturday, Nov 30. We were originally supposed to film Friday. Considering it was the day after thanksgiving we were spending time with family. Me and my group changed some important things in our video. Like the main person in it, instead of Adrian it was Alexis. The setting was also changed. Instead of Adrians house, it was Alexis’. We made this change because if we went to Adrian’s home it wouldn’t be any adult supervision. His step mom left for work. But those were the only things we changed.
We are going to update the planning blog. But the song is the same. Me and Adrian took turns filming. And as I mentioned before Alexis we performing for the music video. Adrian rode his bike over there and my Step dad dropped me off. We didn’t have much filming time because Alexis had to work. Adrian left first because it takes him a while to get home because he was on his bike. Even thought he had to leave early he was there for most of the filming. I left a little after him.
But at the end of everything we had about 11 minutes of raw footage. After cutting the unnecessary parts we had about 1 minute and 17 sec. to deal with. The minimum is a 1 minute and 5 seconds. We made the required by 12 seconds. Hopefully there aren’t any other parts that need to be deleted. We included angles in our filming like tracking shot, long shots and ect. Tomorrow we plan on editing on Alexis computer. We have to finish the whole music video by Friday. So me and my group have to work hard to get everything done by then. Then after that assignment we have the CCR and then we will be completely done.

Filming blog
Friday 11/22 me and my group were discussing our filming process. We were coming up with when we were going to film. But everyone was going to be busy the following weekend. Alexis had work. Adrian had to meet with family. And I had a club meeting. So we all decided to do it during break. Or the following weekend. But we know what we are going to film. How we are going to film it. We know our roles and settings.
Saturday since we couldn’t film I cleaned my house. I was cleaning my room. The bathroom. I did the dishes and swept and mopped. Then after that I started binge watching a show on Netflix called Jessie Jones. It’s about a girl who is basically a superhuman. She got her powers from when the doctors revived her after she was in a car crash. They added extra chemicals to her blood stream. It gave her the ability to fly and have extra strength.
Sunday we still aren’t feeling because this is the day Adrian meets his family. Sunday I went to breakfast. We went to spoons. It’s a family owned restaurant near my house. Then are I came home, I did some homework. I took a nap. Then I woke up and continued the series from Saturday. Around 4:00 I left to go to my club meeting. The club, is black youth assembly. I’m apart of the fundraiser Committee.

Music video research
Intro:
Today is the first class after finishing up the commercial project. I enjoyed parts of it and have trouble with other parts. I enjoyed the filming in the commercial but had trouble with with editing portion. I enjoyed the filming because it was just interesting to me, doing all the angles and movements. I had trouble with the editing because I didn't really know how to work it and where I should add the transitions. But today, November 14th we're starting a new project, a music video project. We have to chose an appropriate song and make a music video for it.
Song:
We choose the song Ransom. We choose this song because one of my group members, Alexis, favorite genre is rap. This song is Hip-Hop/ rap. It's considered this because it has rhyming. The artist of the song is Lil Tecca. A 17 year old artist from New York.
Conventions:
1. Costumes- Baggy clothing with big chains and gold teeth. Or we can wear regular clothing with lots of jewelry.
2.Lighting- For lighting we are going to use natural lighting. Meaning we're going to use the sun for lighting.
3.Acting- We are going to be outside, we may lipsync to the song and might add a short dancing clip.
4.Makeup- No makeup is needed.
5.Props- Chains, hats, and maybe baggy clothing, and gold teeth.
6.Setting- Is outdoors.
Camera angle/ shot movements:
Low angles, hand held, over-shoulder, medium shot, close up and medium close up. Tracking shot is going to be used for movement.
Sound:
The music

Editing blog
We started the editing process Tuesday, November 5. I uploaded my video from the desktop on to google drive. Then I got a laptop from the cart to start the editing process. When I opened the laptop I realized it didn't have Pinnacle Studios downloaded. I was going through the process of trying to download it for free. But I couldn't find anything. So I ended up not editing that day. Instead I thought more about how I wanted to edit the video. And substitute apps to use. Then I decided i'm going to edit at home.
When I got home I got on the computer and started researching more apps to use. I uploaded my video onto the computer. As I kept researching I realized most of the good editing apps need to be paid for. So I came up with the idea to just use a laptop from school but one that had Pinnacle studios already downloaded. After I came up with that idea. I went back to thinking about the edits I want to make. Like I was visualizing the parts I want to cut. And the parts I want to add transitions to. I was also thinking about adding a voice over. If I do add a voice over it’ll only be to certain spots and not the whole video.
Today during editing I was watching people edit to give me ideas. Like this one group deleted unnecessary parts to shorten it. Another group slowed down some parts. I opened Pinnacle studios and started experimenting. I cut out some parts that were an accident. And some parts that were unnecessary. I also faded in some scenes. After that I started this blog. But I plan on working my hardest to get this done. I am expecting to be done by Monday.
