     How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text? How did your production skills develop throughout this project? How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project To begin with, When doing the research for our music video we decide to watch modern pop music videos. My teammates and I did this because we picked a pop song, “Get away car" by a pop artist, Taylor swift. My group and I watched other music videos by Taylor Swift such as “Karma” and “I can see you”. We watched these to get inspiration on how we wanted to do our music. Taylor Swift directed both of those videos so I watched her interviews and behind the scene moments to understand her directive  venison. While filming our video we tried to incorporate some of her favorite directing shots like a 180 shot of the camera going from th

 

 We used Cap-Cut to edit the music video. Cap-cut is a video editing apps that allows me to put picture and videos of anything from camera roll and anything from the internet. I did Cap-cut because other editing apps you had to pay for or would not allow me to do everything I need. We uploaded 10 videos into cap-cut and it worked great. Cap-Cut even allowed us to make transitions in the finished project. It also let us to put a word bubble. There is a scene where my partner who is playing the boy robber and I, who is playing the girl robber are at a "bar". At the bar I have to get up and say "I have to use the bathroom". Cap-Cup allowed us a text bubble in the video. This shows why the I leave at the end of the scene. There is another scene where we have to show a "flash-back".  In between scenes we put a picture. That picture said "A few days earlier". This showed that it was a flash back to the previous days. We also had to put in a  video wher

 We finished filming all of the scenes for the music video. We went right in the editing portion. We designed to use Cap-Cut because we used it for the all about me commercial and it worked really good, so we wanted to use it again.  To began, we cut the sound from the videos. This allowed there to be no extra sounds in the background. However, there was a clip in the video that required sound. So, we kept it in for that specific clip. After that we cut the videos to the length that we need them to be. Cutting out all of the bloopers or things that we did wrong. After that Reagan put all of the videos into cap-cut to start editing. We put the videos in the order of the storyboard. At first, this order seemed a little off to us. But after further thought, we decided to keep it in the original order. When the video was done the first time so parts were confusing and hard to follow. We had to not follow the storyboard comply. So we move some of the scenes around. It still did not look rig

Reagan came over to my house and we filmed the rest of the music video. For the first shot we shot me walking into a (getaway) car. That was from the storyboard panel 8. This shoot took 1 try for us too film. The next shot is both me and Reagan are in the car, she is filming me. I  press play on the song getaway car. This took about 2 times to film. The following shot is me singing to Getaway car in the car. I have my my Florida driver license so I am legally allowed to drive. Me singing alone to the song was the hardest part of filming. This is not because I can't drive but because lip signing to the exacted part of the song a little weird. I was just driving in circles around my neighborhood. I was not on any main roads.  There was nobody out. I only went 6 miles per hours still. Doing this shot took about 7 takes just because we could not get it right. We finally got it after a little bit. The last shot, Reagan had to get out of the car. I stayed in and droved the car. Reagan di

 (Pic of the coffee shop)  We started to film today the music video today. After school my group and I went to this  local coffee called alchemist, we order our food and went on our way. The first scene we shot was my partner Natalie O (who is playing the boy robber), and I sitting down at a table laughing  and having a good time while our other partner filmed up from the back, around the table, and to the front. While at the front you see me as the girl robber mouth "I have to use the bathroom", then I get up with 2 "money bags" and leave the shot. It took about 5 times to get this shot right, this represents the bar scene in our story, storyboard panel 2 and 3. The next scene we did was a shot of me as the girl robber calling 911 as an over-the-shoulder shot based off of the storyboard panel 4. It only took 2 tries, as it was the easiest shot to film in the whole music video. After that we shot the "flashback scene". In this scene based off storyboard pa
