Scene 1: the first scene shows the main character lying in bed sleeping and the alarm is going off   Scene 2: the second scene just moves to a closer birds eye view. At the point, the lyrics are saying “long a go” signaling that he is dreaming of when they dated. Scene 3: The third scene takes a look inside of his dream, this shows flashbacks of when they dated doing things like holding hands, walking etc. Scene 4: when the flashbacks are over, the lyrics say “just a dream” and that’s when he wakes up and walks over to his phone   Scene 5: when he’s in his phone he goes to text messages and texts the lyrics as they play “are we still friends”  Scene 6:It shows her phone with the text message popping up  "can we be friends." you can see her from over the shoulder and she  is just on her phone and the message pops up. This will also be an over the shoulder shot. Scene 7:He then says the next line "are we still friends." looking sad and vulnerable. This will also be a

 Props: In our research, we discovered that in most of Tyler the Creator's videos, he incorporates props. A common prop was a phone. We will use this in our music video. A car will be one of our props, also, an alarm clock, a dog, a leash, and maybe utensils and plates/cups.  Costumes: The main character who the story follows will be dressed in things like hoodies, sweatpants, clothes that give off sad emotions. The girl he sees at the end will be dressed in pajamas, and when she reveals the man next to her, he will also be in pajamas. Throughout the video, characters other than the main one will be in preppy, happy clothes.  Schedule: 11/18/2021 we will do our story board                   11/21/2021 we will begin our filming                   11/28/2021 we will continue filming                   12/5/2021 we will edit our clips  This schedule is flexible and allows makeup time incase last minute changes are needed Location list: Our locations include my and Nicole's house fo

Time for research

CAMS: There is no music video for our song choice, Are we still friends by Tyler The Creator, so we looked at his othe songs to do our research. We noticed a lot of usage of tracking shots. A character would be seen traveling from place to place. Also, the camera would pan across the landscape to show establishing shots a lot. There are also a lot of close ups and POV shots.  CLAMPS: The costumes are regular attire for the most part, nothing exactly special. Lighting depends on the scene, but a lot of his videos have an outside setting . As far as acting, we can see real emotion in all of the actors' facial expressions. The music is obviously the song in the background. Props used a lot were phones, food, and cars. The setting was generally outside, with a lot of nature, or inside with low depressing lighting because most of his songs are on the sad side.  SOUND: The sound is the song in the background, there are a decent amount of beat drops in Tyler The Creator's songs, so we

  My group mates are Dara, Mila, and Nicole. I am excited to begin working on this project with them. They are all nice and good students, and I know that we will work well all together. We each have common interests, but we also have individual specialties. Mila is a very good editor and knows the ins and outs of the software and tools needed to make clips better. She will certainly be good when it comes time to cut and adjust clips, sounds, and music. She takes that part of the project which will help piece together our music video. Nicole is a talented actor and dancer and knows how to make things more appealing to an audience. She will be great when it comes to advertising a product. She also happens to be quite into film and is excited for this upcoming piece. Her knowledge and understanding of media and its elements will prove useful. Dara is exceedingly gifted at art, drawing, painting, and other creative things. Her skills in artistry will be considerate for this music video. T

   Hello, my name is Violet Roberts. I am in 10th grade and am 15 years old. I live with my mom, my dad, my brother, my two dogs, and my eight cats. I like to play soccer, piano, and I like to do theatre. I would consider myself a decently social person who enjoys the company of others. I love animals, and I also enjoy teaching and think that maybe I will do something in that field in life. I chose to be in this class because I am interested in film and its components. I like to act, so seeing how actors, editors, directors, etc. do their job is something that excites me. I like seeing the art in things. Film and media have a lot of hidden elements. Trying to see if I can identify and visualize those things is a challenge I enjoy. I look forward to learning all about film and its process. I always watch movies and wonder how they accomplish certain things. I am enthusiastic about the thought of learning of all those things. To see how the behind the scenes works is crazy. To be a part
