My group is doing a music video for the song "Good Days" by SZA.  In typical music videos, the lyrics are portrayed through actors, objects, or things in the different scenes. Music videos are generally meant to bring the lyrics to life in a visual manner. -SZA's music videos use close-ups as the main camera angle to show her lip-syncing or extreme close-ups where lyrics are linked to visuals. -Every music video, in general, employs a range of camera Shots, Angles, and Movements to create various moods, reflect various genres, and accentuate specific parts within the video. Each director and/or cinematographer develops his or her own distinctive style, which is reflected in the final result. -A variety of shots are used in music videos for a variety of reasons, including relating to the audience through expressing thoughts and feelings, as well as showing the spectator what is going on. The camera  pans  to follow the artist or to depict the artist's performance. A fi...

The project idea of a music video seems easy enough when presented but finding the right group members can make or break your team. Luckily I already have a group from our last project. Since we worked so well last time we have decided to pair up again. And I am very excited to be working with them all.  For the music video, I along with Jacob Pineiro, Lucia Rodriguez, and Kia Lobann have decided to pull our heads together and work together once more. We've got to get to know each other and become great friends. We bond over a number of things and continue to learn about each other daily. Lucia, Jacob, and I are all in the school's marching band so we talk about that. We are all new to the media studies side of film you can say and want to do our best to pass the class and AICE exams. After knowing the basic level of what this class is and what to expect, I think it is making us more excited for our second project. Our plan was to divide and conquer like we did on our last proj...

Hi again! It is still Willow Rivera and I am currently enrolled as a junior at Fort Lauderdale High School. Throughout this year, I'll have to lead you into my journey of being not only a Cambridge student but more specify an AICE Media studies student. We are currently starting our music video project and I am very excited about it. This project is worth 11100 points and I'm pretty sure it's half of our midterm. I am still very interested in a future career in the film industry probably as a producer. I've always been in love with the idea of being a part of something everyone can enjoy regardless of their age. I know many people think having a degree in film is pretty useless since most get their skills from experience. However, being in this class especially since it's a college-level class will give me a good foundation to work towards that goal. I plan to join a film camp this summer which is just another step forward in an occupation in tv and movies.  As for ...
