Back from Break

 Now that Thanksgiving break is over, I feel an explanation is owed for the lack of work my team did. Our group was very busy this week. Each of us had jobs which we needed to be at. I was personally sick the entire time and could barely move. We were also celebrating the holiday with our family members, which kept us occupied for the majority of the break. Between work, family, sickness, and even practices, we really didn't have any time to meet up. Even though we did not film, we did get a lot of discussions done about the project. We condensed the initial idea we had for the music video as a whole. Using the rubric, We chose particular photos that were necessary for the video's rules and flow.

   My group opted to select a different music for the video after giving it some thought. We are staying in the same genre of holiday music but going in a different direction with the song choice. We have several reasons for the change. One significant one is the song's heavy emphasis on romance. It wouldn't make sense to include a love song in our video because we want to make it about a friend group. Additionally, the song starts off very slowly. In our opening scenes, a character picks up the other two characters from their home and converses with them in the car. It wouldn’t work with the slow intro of the song.

    We have a couple songs in mind we could use as replacements, but we aren't sure yet. My main objective is to make the experience worthwhile because it is very expensive. We also decided to cut down on the number of actors we had due to costs. Filming will be challenging because of this, but we'll try it out first and see how it goes. To obtain the most value for our money, we need to take as many shots as we can.
