Storyboard: Making it come to life.

Scene 1: Sum of us are hanging out at the park in a sad mood. The energy is low and no one is really talking or saying anything to each other. Scene 2: One of us walks into the frame blasting the song “Happy” by Pharrel Williams on a speaker/boom box. At first we are all questioning him but after listening to the music we all get up and start feeling ourselves. Scene 3: The friend holding the speaker playing the music does a hand wave indicating for the others to follow him. So they do and as they do they do it in a dancing manor. Scene 4: All the friends are walking throughout the park with more energy, the sun is brighter, the sky is more blue, and there is more activity going on. Overall the entire mood shifts to a happier one. Scene 5: Next shot will be taken in Downtown Hollywood of the friends walking by people and giving off their “happy” and good energy to everyone around them.  Scene 6: An abrupt transition of downtown to the beach will be made. In the beach shot the friends a

  For our upcoming music video we have to plan many things We have to plan when we go to film. Our video is going to have different films with different shots and moods. Each filming location will have to be planned. For our beach scene we need to plan what time to go. If it is raining it would ruin the shots and we wouldn't be able to film. Same if it was too sunny as the sun would ruin the shots. We need to plan the day we film as well. Winter break is coming up and Jason will be out of town. He is our cameramen and we need him to be filming the video so planning is a must with this music video. We may film during the days he is here for the break. It has been hard to meet up in the past with Jhon's and Zeyn's work schedule. Jason also goes to the gym, making it hard to make plans for filming. Most of the group needs to learn how to dance somewhat. We will have to watch youtube videos and practice for the dancing in the video. Another thing we have to plan is what props w

 For our set we have to check the weather and time for when filming can be done. Our video requires a sunny, happy day to match our vibe. We are also filming at the beach. The shooting day should be planned to have no rain on that day. It should also not be super clouds because it will ruin the shot. It also can't be too hot because we will be all sweaty which won't look good on film. Another factor is the time of day we film. If we film at noon it will be very hot and the sun will be fully out. This makes it hard to get good angles as the sun will flash the camera. We also have to research what songs we may want to use. We are between a couple of songs but are most likely picking Happy by Pharrell williams. More research needs to be done on dancing. None of us are good dancers except maybe Jhon. We may have to look up youtube videos on basic dancing for the video. Another thing needed is research on music videos with similar vibes. We would do our best to incorporate these ele

 Just as I thought our group worked amazing. Me, Jhon, Sam, and Zeyn were all able to contribute to the project tremendously and helped submit everything on time and in good quality. For this film we decided to stick together as a team again because of how well we worked together on the last film. This time we are filming and editing a music video. The music video we are directing is “Happy by Pharrel Williams”. We chose this song because of how upbeat and good energy it brings. This song strongly relates to us as we are always happy! Even when going through hard times as a group we always manage to stick to task and execute the project accordingly. We all live really close to each other therefore making it easy to connect to each other when it’s film time. The equipment that we all have will combine to be really useful when it comes to film time. We all have rides available to get from point A to point B. Not only do we work well together but we get along very well. This is important

      Hey my name is Jason Alexandrescu I am in 10th grade and still attending Fort Lauderdale High School. I finished one of my favourite shows “the boys” and recently started watching peaky blinders. Peaky Blinders is based off the mafia and is available on Netflix. I still go to the gym 5 times a week for 2 hours. I just recently started focusing on my school, financial status, and health. I started working harder in school and focusing more in academic classes. I just recently started looking into financial aids that can help build my future. And lastly I started focusing a lot on my health by working out and eating clean. But none of this can happen if you are not truly happy. So make sure you are happy and ready for changes and to shift positively with your life.  The amount of shows that I watch will definitely help contribute to the directing of my group and I future films. My constant attention of focusing on my health and athletics will help provide a good mobile stunt man. I
