Music Video Finale

P2T6 Focus from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.

The storyline relates to the lyrics because I matched the lyrics to my actions in the storyline. For example when it says "I'm over here doing what I like, Im over here working day and night." the storyline is me playing soccer which matches the lyrics because i'm doing what I like.  Next in my storyline I am wiping a table then I am exhausted, that matches my lyrics because I am working my wiping the table and it shows be tired which shows that I was working a lot. Overall I think that I matched the lyrics to my actions well.

In the music video I have many fast-edit montage sequences. My favorite would have to be when it says "I'm over here doing what I like, Im over here working day and night." In this scene the part when it says "I'm over here doing what I like," It shows me juggling a soccer ball (doing what I like) then it quickly changes to the part when it says "Im over here working day and night." In this small section of the lyrics we managed to squeeze 3 shots into that. One of me whipping a window and then the second shot is just the first shot but flipped so it represents day and night. The third shot is me showing my exhaustion which explains how I have been working so much.

This music video showcases my best work because it is the end of the year and I have all of my knowledge from the school year. I can edit/create and awesome music video using techniques that I have learned this year. Some techniques I can use are interesting/engaging shot types like birds eye or low and high angle. Some other techniques I can use is awesome, fast editing using iMovie. Another technique I can use would be editing pictures to make them look amazing in photoshop.

Animated Life Lessons

P2T8 Friends Overcome Issues from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.
My teammates personal character traits are that Taylor is organized, neat but she is also a clean freak. Cephas is humorous, exaggerated, never knows when to stop and he over does things. Coral is shy, quiet, serious and the exact opposite of Cephas. Ella is clumsy, weird, awkward, loud and not very good at things. Our story exaggerates who we all are because in the story we all come together as a group and we work together which is what we do in real life. Also in real life Taylor really is organized and neat, Cephas really is humorous, Coral really is quiet and shy and Ella really is clumsy.

I use humor in my story because I have lots of humorous relatable things. Some things aren't just humorous because its funny but also because it is so relatable. The message or life lesson relates to people because we all feel like something is wrong with us or we have bad characteristics sometimes but it doesn't matter what other people think of you as long as you like it nobody else matters. Also if you are scared to do something that you want to do because your scared someone will think weirdly of you, you should do it anyway because it doesn't matter what they think.

My teams level of productivity was productivity was pretty high when everybody was working together and when we knew what to do and how to do it. The biggest challenge during production was to get everyone in the group to commit to the project. Also to get everyone to take their own time to come in at recesses and lunches to work on the project. The best moment during production was when we first started animating. It was at this time because it was when we all came together and showed each other how to do things and then we each started working confidently and productivity.
