research music video

 Considering I am not in a group, I have to make all of the decisions which is definitely challenging because I am really indecisive in general. Right now I am leaning toward an alternative song but I have so many ideas in my notes. All day I randomly think of ideas for this project. I’ve been holding off this blog for a while because i couldn’t choose a song and I kept trying to figure out what to do. Every song I thought of did not feel right. I went from Bruce Springsteen songs to Taylor Swift and I could not find the perfect fit. I was listening to every single playlist I ever made and still couldn’t think and then I heard “Pursuit of Happiness” and a bunch of ideas started flowing through my head. In the song he talks about different coping methods for depression at the beginning. The first lyrics are 

Crush a bit, Little bit
Roll it up, take a hit
Feeling lit, feeling right
Two AM, summer night, I don't care
Hand on the wheel
Driving drunk I'm doing my thang
Rolling the Midwest side and out
Living my life, getting our dreams
People told me slow my roll

This part especially applies to me right now because I am always rushing around trying to distract myself from how I am feeling and filling up my life with things to do, even when I do not enjoy them. I do not do these things as coping methods, but instead I use my job, being with friends, drawing, and working out as my coping methods. I thought of more of the lyrics and how Kid Cudi says "I am on the pursuit of happiness and I know, everything that shine aint always gonna be golden." This could mean many different things and have different perceptions to other people, but to me it means that you have to keep trying for happiness no matter what because your life will never be perfect. You cannot go through life expecting everything to be perfect because it will never be like that. There will always be ups and downs in life but what is important is having a optimistic mindset and getting through the rough days because things get really hard. You have to understand that "youll be fine once you get it" which is another line in the song. This song applies so much in my life right now so I feel like that is good because it will help me be creative with things. I am struggling but I have to keep trust that everything is going to get better and when it does I will be happy again.

editing but sick

Image
 For the last week I was sick so I was not in school. We have a group chat for our project where my group mates would tell me what was going on so I would not be completely clueless. I was not really on my phone because of how sick I was because I was like passing out and stuff so I was basically bed ridden. When I finally felt a bit better I tried to do some work but then I got sick again. Now I am finally better so I am writing my blog and my group is helping me. We were learning how to edit, all watching youtube videos on how to edit but we did not know how and it was not simple at all. We also tried many different apps and finally found a good one. I am thankful I did this project with a group because I would be clueless on my own. My group helped me so much. I do not know where I would be without them and every person is very smart. Being sick from school makes me feel as if I have been in a coma because I come back and everything has changed. I always miss important things so...

  While planning everything, I realized that my original idea was not realistic. I did not time everything correctly so now I was pressed for time. The original idea of having an action movie did not really appeal to me anymore because of the circumstances. Even though it sounded really fun, it would have taken a lot more work, time, and planning. This meant a new genre, luckily we researched many genres and I had a cool idea. I knew I wanted to have a theme like a decade theme, I just did not know how to make it a story. Sometimes I will have a creative block where I sit there unable to think of anything. When it finally opens up, a ton of ideas run through my head and my mind goes racing a million miles an hour. I thought maybe I could do action still, but just with three characters. Primarily, I wanted it to be a really cool action opening if I were to do one, I did not want to have it to haphazard. I kept thinking and thinking about oh how could I make it have a cool theme wher...

film review

 The film process was very interesting and long. It feels like a weight has been taken off my shoulders.   I had many obstacles to overcome, but always found a solution even if it took a lot of thinking and some help from my friends Jenna and Jade. The whole process of making this final task really caused me to appreciate moviemaking more. It is fun but extremely time consuming and often very stressful, especially as a beginner. I did learn a lot. I learned that no matter how hard it is, you have to persevere and keep trying to find new ways out of tough situations and things like this take hard work and dedication, yet it is worth it in the end. In this project, I perfected my filming and editing skills and also exercised my creativity. I practiced shooting from different angles and trying new things like panning the camera. I learned how to add in music and cut it. I also became more familiar with using imovie just overall. When you have to do it by yourself, a brightside is...
