Our Master Plan

Song Title: 

The song we are using for this music video is “Last Christmas” by Wham! We wanted to do this song because it is one of the biggest classics of the holiday season. It is a staple for Christmas time. Our group each has a connection to this song since we all love this song.


Props: 

For this music video we need some props. Some of these props may include skates, a winter coat, a Santa costume, Christmas makeup and other festive accessories we may find as we go.


Costumes: 

In this music video, the costume will consist of winter clothes to match the vibe of the song. Possibly a Santa costume. The song takes place clearly during the winter season, meaning it would be cold. So, even though we’re in Florida, we will adjust to create the story of the song for our video.


Film Schedule:

On 11/7/22: Our group researched details about the song we wanted to make a music video on in order to create our own.

On 11/11/22: Our group made some final decisions for roles, props, filming locations, and created a schedule with all of this information.

On 11/13/22: Our group started thinking about the storyboard and brainstorming different ideas, so we can be prepared in class.

On 12/10/22: Our group will begin meeting in our film locations to record and shots and start putting our clips together to make our final music video.

On 12/12/22: Our group will get started with the editing of our video to make our final breakthrough of the music video.


Film Location: 

We have some different options for where we want to film. We could film at our local and annual Christmas parade Christmas on Las Olas, or we could film at an ice skating rink to get that cold winter feel. This all depends on the weather of the day and everyone’s schedules lining up with the dates and times. We also might decide to film at both locations and put scenes together. 


Health and safety protocols: 

To make sure that our group stays healthy and safe, we will make sure to take safety precautions in all of the filming locations we go to. This means for example, avoiding edges of tall buildings or making unnecessary encounters with strangers.


Backup Plan: 

If neither of our main filming locations work out we could always film at someone’s house and still keep the same costume and prop concept. We could film at either Sarah or Sabrina's house since they live in apartments and have Christmas decor around the area. This would not be ideal but it is backup plan.

1. How do your  products  represent social groups or issues? Together, my group and I made a short film about a young girl who gets stalked and abducted. It is meant to be a reflection on the larger social issue of gender-based violence and the widespread anxiety it causes in women. In the video we emphasize the vulnerability that many women encounter on a daily basis, especially while partaking in seemingly harmless hobbies like running, through the protagonist's terrifying experience. In our film, the male stalker, portrayed by me, stands in for the stereotypical predatory male, highlighting the risks associated with toxic masculinity and the objectification of women. Through a realistic and sympathetic portrayal of the protagonist's suffering, the film seeks to provoke thought and increase awareness of the pressing need for societal reform to address these challenges. The film's website and postcard offer further channels for interaction by informing viewers about the fi...

Officially done…With filming

  I'm happy to inform that my group and I have finally finished filming our final video project, and the results are nothing short of stunning after weeks of hard work and commitment. This trip, while had its share of difficulties and learning curves, ended with a victory that well above our expectations.This time around, unlike the first time we filmed, everything appeared to go together perfectly. Equipped with a well-defined vision and an astute sense of direction, we skillfully and confidently maneuvered through the filming process. Simplifying our method of filming was one of the biggest changes we made. We had a well thought-out plan in place, so we knew exactly what kind of material and photos we would need to make our story come to life. With so much less time spent filming because to this newfound clarity, we were able to concentrate on capturing true and emotionally charged moments. Even though we were filming at the same park as before, we took a "less is more"...

Typical Thriller Editing: * Rapid cuts: These add a lot of intensity and keep you on the edge of your seat. * Juxtaposition: Irony or suspense are created by juxtaposing scenes or images. * Slow motion: Delaying some scenes lengthens the suspense and highlights key moments. d.
