                  1.) How does you product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups? Conventions are found all over the film. Whether it was modern day things or anything that fits in the genre of the film. For example, us being in the film was one because it was young people and these music videos tend to have a young people in it since it will catch the attention of a young group. The clothing we wore was casual, days to day lifestyle of what normal teens and young adults wear out. It also used some fast cuts because at one point of the video there was a certain beat to the song and we used some short clips with quick transitions within each bear. These types of transitions are common in these type of videos with changing what the audience is seeing changes with the best and also the speed of those clips were based off of how fast the best during the pet of the song was. Some filming techniques like close-ups, lo...

This was my third project for this class that has involved me to film and edit. Since, I have become more familiar with the tools, editing wasn't hard. This was my first project ever done for the length of 1 minute. My last project was only 30 seconds so I did have to be more creative for this project since it was double the length. At first I was like 1 minute seems supper long but then when we started filming we realized it wasn't enough. But, it was a new experience since it was the first ever music video I have ever done. I personally have trouble with being creative. I can never do creative thing or think of stuff but for this project I was actually able to be creative. With this project I learned something new about myself and it's that my creativeness is making ideas for film. Me and my partner worked well even though finding a date to film was hard. The outcome of this video was actually surprising and I liked it. It was different since not only did me and my partne...

  When me and Jose edited we were both at his house. We only edited on one computer and it was on mine. Editing wasn't supper difficult for me. I always find doing the transition supper easy. While my partner Jose has more of a difficult time with adding transitions. He found adding sound to the film easier so I did the transitions and he was watching me. I was also like teaching him how to do the transitions so he'll know for a future project. I added the transitions supper easily with no problem. I did play around with some of the transitions to see what would look the best and most unnoticeable transition. I wanted the film to flow very nice with no extreme noticeable cut which is another reason for me playing around with the transitions. Also, when I put all the video clips into my editing app, we passes the requirement of the video being exactly 1 minute, we had 1 minute and 44 seconds about. We used IMovie to edit our film. I had to cut down some scenes a lot and even tak...

  Coming back from the break it took us a couple of days before we got together to film. The day we filmed was on a school day so we were a little tight on schedule. Especially since there isn't a lot of daylight hours anymore since the sun sets early. We only had two hours to film as much as we could. We started filming rights after school and stopped as soon as there wasn't a good amount of lighting. We didn't get to finish the whole video. But we did film a couple of scenes which we might refilm the next time we film. Filming wasn't hard it was actually pretty easy. For the scenes we did manage to film, we refilmed them a couple of times. Because of that we didn't finish filming every scene. We kept reshooting scenes because we wanted to make sure we had different clips to see from in case we didn't like something or mix the videos up. We also ended up moving some scenes around. For example, the scenes we showed the baby pictures in which would of occurred in...
