 Unfortunately, I was not present for our first day of filming. Our school "Fort Lauderdale High School" was invited by the Miami Dolphins Stadium to perform our JROTC Color Guard for the National Anthem. As stated in my "about me" blog, I am very involved in JROTC. Therefore, I was invited to go along with 6 other cadets to attend the game. We practiced Saturday, the day of the film that we had originally planned. I informed my group members that I would be unable to help film on Saturday and they completely understood. They weren't mad or anything. We then figured out a solution. Our solution was to have only Sean and Beckett in the airport scene. Then I will be introduced in the beach scene. Although this was not our intentional plan, nor mine. We found a resolution. Even though I could not be in the first scene I am glad that some production was done. Considering the Music Video is due in 2 weeks. I did feel bad that I could not help them however the Dolphin

STORY BOARD FOR THE MUSIC VIDEO   Scene 1:   In the first scene we will be showing (me) Julie’s phone. This shot will feature a  close  up  on my phone showing me  putting   directions  to the airport. The music would have already started at the start of the scene.   Scene 2:    In the second scene  we will show the car  driving  into the airport. We will zoom into the airport sign here.   Scene 3:   Sean walks out of the airport and the c amera  shows him from the feet up to his head using a tilt. The camera  then  transitions to an eye-level shot showing S ean looking around for  us.   Scene 4:   The car pulls up  into the  pickup  zone and  everyone  hugs/greets  Sean and  I  put the bag into the trunk. Shows picnic  basket .   Scene 5:   As we drive away from the  airport,  we pass the  Hollywood  Florida sign. When we get to  it  we zoom into it as we drive to show we are in fact in Hollywood like in the song.   Scene 6:   Scene 6 is shot at a high  angle,  and it shows us eating

  The Plan for my Music Video   After  finishing  the  research,  we  have  decided the best theme for our music video is a pop song theme. We decided that plan A is to do the pop song  “ Party  in   the  USA ” .   This was sung by Miley Cyrus  when she was  younger,  and it was in 2009.  For  now,  we have  a long list  of props we plan to use.  We plan to start with a scene at  the Fort  Lauderdale Executive Airport. There we will  do  a scene  where we  pick  up Sean from the airport. We will be using a car and a suitcase as our props. When he exits the airport Julie will put his bag in the trunk and then we will  do  a group hug welcoming  him as if we have not seen him in a long time.  When Julie puts the bag in the  trunk,  we will show that we have a picnic basket for lunch in the trunk.   Then  while driving back fro m the airport we will  have a scene of the three of us partying in the car, jamming out to some m usic.  We will drive to the beach and  have lunch from the picnic
