  Salutations, Cambridge it's ya boy Finn back with another blog. Today I will be talking about the editing process of our project.. When looking at the music video after running it back and re-filming. We had a total of 11 scenes. We added up the seconds and had about a minute and five seconds. Our video and the song ended perfectly when we wanted it to fade out. God's Plan is truly a masterpiece. Taking note of this, we set out to find resources that could be used to change the scene transitions, adjust the sound transitions, and  sync our song with the scenes. It didn't take long to learn about a program known as Capcut through research. The majority of my crew used this on earlier assignments. Capcut is a simple tool that we are all familiar with. It offers various elements that we require for our video, like text and sound effects for music. While exploring alternative applications, we discovered IMovie. Since this editing program is compatible with all iOS devices, it

  Hello Cambridge. it's me back again with another blog. Tuesday was so sucessful we got all of our scenes done. That's what I thought until we started putting it together. We did not have all of our scenes. Some of the videos were blurry and did not portray what we were trying to. We had to overcome these obstacles and persevere. Conner saved the day. Using his quick witty critical thinking skills he acted fast. Since him and Renato lived so close to the mall he picked up Renato. Me and Isahiah were at practice. But that didn’t stop him. Conner quickly ran back to school and picked us both up early from practice. We then re filmed almost the whole video. Starting with the roof top scene. One thing I am very un happy about is I wanted to include a scene of me throwing the money up in the air. In my opinion when we filmed it it looked amazing. But no body else agreed. Thus, it did not make the final cuts. All in all, Conner’s witty critical thinking skills saved the day for all

 Hey Cambridge, its ya boy again. Back with another blog. Tuesday went as planned. We met at 12 PM sharp at the mall and were very productive. We filmed all of our scenes and even had an extra hour to hangout. For our opening shot we filmed in cinamatic mode on my phone. We went on top of the parking garage and filmed our establishing shot. It took us many takes including me throwing money into the wind and it not making the final cut. But wen finally decided on Conner and Isahaih flexing the money. Then, we went into Macy's in the mall. It took us many attempts but we ended up filming a tracking shot with me and our friend Sarah in the expensive jewelery section. She was acting as though she was choosing a necklace. Then in the following scene the camera starts facing the jewlery and then pans to me pulling out $10k to easily cover the price of the necklace. We then went to the escalators, me and Renato were dancing with our money. This resembles Antonio Brown and Drake dancing on

Hello, Finn OBrien back with another blog. Today I'll be talking about our planning and finalization for setting up. When discussing our options of when the members can do our first meet-up, there were a few obstacles. First, we needed to find a time when we could all meet up to discuss it. Luckily, one of our classes landed together for all of us, allowing us to talk and arrange. During this class, we were able to see everyone's schedules. When looking at dates possible for us, we thought it would be best to look at our weekends for the first production. When it came to Conner, he was able to the weekend of 21 and 22, and the 28th. Isahiah could do the 29 and 28 and Renato was a maybe on the 21 and 22 but it was quite close and could not be weekdays for sure. I couldn't the 28 so we all had different days occupied. We all came to the realization that we could all do the following Tuesday and when rearranging, we all could do the Sunday 22nd. We decided the production would

  Hello, it's me Finn back with another blog. I'll be talking about how I got ready to start the music video. When choosing the location, I had talked with every member of my group. Since none of us lived in the same place, we had to choose one that was close to everyone. We decided that an area with lots of shops and stores would be ideal when deciding on a nearby location for all of us. We looked about and decided the Galleria Mall would be the ideal location for our project. It's where Renato and Connor frequently go, eventhough its kind of far from me and Isahiah. This seemed ideal to us for a variety of reasons. Right behind is a neighborhood where we will film our scenes, like the dog scene. We can also gain access to this neighborhood through Renato as he lives there. Another location is the CVS, which is just one block away, where we may act out the scenes of community service. Since the CVS is more convenient for everyone, we replaced the dollar tree that was in ou

  Hello Cambridge Finn is back with a new blog. Today I'll discuss the people I'll be working with and why for my music video. Additionally. I'll talk about the song we chose and the inspiration for it. I will be collaborating on my project alongside Renato, Connor, and Isahiah. Each member was selected for a different reason. Due to his wit, Renato seemed like he would be an excellent addition to our group. His quick wit and sense of humor may be a huge asset when creating our music video scenarios, and if necessary, he can improvise to make the film still look enjoyable. Due to his creativity, Connor would also be a fantastic complement to our team. It definitely can help our story when Connor is able to think creatively and come up with suggestions. Connor can contribute new ideas and creativity to our project, making it seem as good as it possibly can. Because of his technological expertise, Isaiah would be a valuable addition to our team. His expertise in handling the

 Hey Cambridge I'm back for my Commercial. I had an amazing and productive time with my Commerical. Now I'm going to be working on my music video. Let me tell you a little about my origin. I was born February 20th 2008 and I was born in Imperial Point hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. That makes me fifteen years old. I have a decently sized family. I have a Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister and Dog. I am the oldest child that makes me the role model in the family. I started my academic career at Virginia Shuman Young Elementary. Then I went to Sunrise Middle school and now I attend Fort Lauderdale High School. During these years of school I played many sports. For example, I started off playing soccer and baseball at a young age. I later set focus to just baseball and I have been playing for ten years. Baseball has been my passion for so long because it helps me exercise while having fun. I also like baseball because I can practice with my dad. For example, I wakeup at 5am every mo
