Planning

Hey guys! It’s Anayah, welcome back to another blog! This may sound ironic but there has been yet another setback due to Tropical Storm Nicole. We haven't been in school this past week however my group and I have been communicating and working on our project as needed. For today's blog I will be discussing our future plans in creating this music video. As I said lot's has been keeping us from working so these plans are not finalized but they are an idea of what we have to come.   Props: The props we will be using for this music video will be played by ear. One prop we would like to use is a bed which will be used for scenes where the child is sleeping waiting for Santa. We would also like to use candy canes since that gives a better Christmas feeling. We would also like to use fake gifts because in Christmas you receive gifts so this will be going with the stereotypes. We would also like to use a Santa Claus actor to give our music video even more Christmas Stereotypes. Oth...

Research

Hey guys! It’s Anayah, welcome back to another blog! Now that we have chosen our song which is Santa Claus is coming to town by The Jackson Five we have to do some research. For this project we've researched a handful of Christmas Music Videos since we are using a Christmas song. The purpose of this is to gather an understanding of what shots, editing  techniques, and strategies are used for this type of music video. What I've noticed is that the music videos typically start out with a medium close up of a child as well as a reverse shot. This brings the focus to the child and hints the audience that the child is looking at another subject in awe. The angle used is a high angle to give the child that powerless, innocent look. The video would then switch to the other main subject which is typically a magical figure which was what the little kid was looking at. The angle used would be a low angle giving this subject the power in this sense. The music videos would then switch to t...

Group blog

 Hey guys! It’s Anayah, and welcome back to my blog! In todays blog I will be talking about my group that I am making this music video with. This group has the same members from my last project, Hunter, Billy, and Robert. I chose to work with this group again because we all worked so well together. We got all of our work done in a good timely manner and we produced outstanding work. I would be a fool to not work with them again! Since our last project not many changes have been made. Robert will still continue to film, Billy and hunter will continue to be the main actors, and I will be working behind the scenes. We chose to not make any changes because everyone played their role so perfectly last time. When picking a song we all thought long and hard. We came to a conclusion that we want to do a Christmas song because the holidays were coming up. Finally, we decided on “Santa Clause Is Coming to Town” by the Jackson 5. We decided on this song due to the endless possibilities that w...

Intro

  Hello! My name is Anayah Cardenas, I am in the tenth grade, and I go to Fort Lauderdale High School. In the past couple years, I have traveled to many  different places . I started off my traveling by going to New York a lot to see family, then I started going out of the country. I have gone to Paris, Dominican Republic, Aruba, Costa Rica, Mexico, Colombia, Spain, and Canada just to name a few places. Besides traveling I enjoy a couple of other things. I really like hanging out with my friends and doing things like going to the beach and going out to eat. I  do not  do things like play sports, but I do draw from time to time. I used to take drawing  really  serious  but then I  kind of stopped  and started getting into photography and although I  stopped trying with that I want to get back in to it. When I came into high school, I knew I wanted to be  very involved  with the school, but I  did not  really get i...
