Scripts

Scene 1

Annie: When I was young, I loved Barbie movies, the Ninja Turtles, and John Denver. I was named after one of his songs, Annie's Song to be exact. That's the kind of music I like, mature, old music. Not to make it seem like I know everything, but now that I've officially been in the double digits for 2 years, I feel like my tastes have expanded. Now, I'm obsessed with Starbucks Frappuccinos and Michael Buble. My grandma says that I'm 

Grandma: A romantic!

Annie: But I hate, hate, HATE her using that word, it's not true at all. Every single one of my friends has already had their first kiss, but I've never even had someone be interested in me. At this rate, I'll be graduating without ever holding hands with a guy. 

Scene 2

Annie: Every time my family comes to visit, they say I'm 

Relative: Growing like a sprout! Next thing you know you'll be taller than me!

Annie: I don't really see what they see, I feel like the same person I was in elementary school. I still watch Barbie movies sometimes with my best friend, Cece. She's the first real friend I made in middle school. The first girl I met on the first day of school seemed nice at first, but then they started whispering to each other around me and I had a small feeling they were talking about me. I'm sure they're very nice though! My guidance pulled all 6th graders aside in an assembly to talk to us about 7th-grade classes. She told us we 

Guidance Counselor: Should try to challenge ourselves next year since that's the year that high schools look at. 

Annie: I never thought I haven't even begun to think about high school, and I didn't think it was that much of a big deal to make good grades. I didn't think it would dictate where I go to high school.

Scene 3

Annie: For the first time ever, Cece and I went to the mall by ourselves! Granted, my mom was still in the mall, but she wasn't following us around! We went into Claire's and only saw girls there with their moms from my old elementary school. I felt out of place, like a way too big fish. We didn't end up staying there for too long. I tried on clothes that other girls would wear, but they were way too uncomfortable and made me cold. I feel more comfortable in my T-shirts anyways, it's okay. My dad asked me if I

Dad: wanted to get rid of your dolls for a garage sale

Annie: But I'm not sure why he would ask that. I mean sure, I don't play with them like I used to, but I still have fun looking at them and brushing their hair!

  Due to school being canceled because of the unforeseeable Hurricane Ian, my partner and I decided it was safest to stay home while the storm passed over us. With that being said, we still took time to set up and charge our Switches. We filmed our first two scenes individually, and we sent pictures to agree on camera placement and lighting. We were able to document this in a series of photos. We cleaned our designated filming areas, wore the clothes we aforementioned, and set our phones on a stable place to film. In order to choose between multiple shots, we did different takes that were each about five seconds. We later video called each other to discuss the best possible shot for the first two scenes. Since music would later be placed over the scenes (and therefore the entire commercial) it didn't matter if there was diegetic sound in the scenes. This could include sounds of doors opening and closing, animals walking, or ruffling. This is the first scene, and I am playing Animal...

Props:  In alliance with the free-spirited professional music video, I will be using a car as a prop, my brother's bongos and keyboard, and maybe my guitar. Costume:  I will look through my own wardrobe to get inspiration for the video. Around two weeks ago at school, there was a throwback Thursday-themed spirit day and I so happened to have decided to be the 80s. If I decide to change my prior wardrobe a bit, it will probably be small changes like accessories and bigger hair. Schedule:   11/17/22- the storyboard will be finished, and I will have a clearer vision of what to plan for. 11/22/22- a set list is made, travel arrangments are set, and all needed props are packed 11/26/22- first day of filming, will consist of the lip-synching portions of the video 11/28/22- second day of filming, I will film car scenes and potentially planes taking off. If I cannot get a shot of planes flying, my next best option would be to get any type of animal in its natural state. 11/29/22-...

Production Blog 2: The Roller Rink

Image
 One of my inspirations for this music video was Stranger Things, which is set in the 80s. One of the scenes from the first episode of season 4 was at a roller rink. My best friend, CeCe, loves to skate and had a small party at Galaxy Skateway on Saturday to celebrate her birthday. She wanted to teach me to skate, which didn't go well. Nonetheless, she skated her heart away. I tried to get footage while I was on the rink for a POV shot, but they didn't allow phones while on the rink. Instead, I took a video directly behind the rink border. This location was the perfect set choice that I didn't choose. The neon lights captured the brightness of the 80s, and the flashing lights helped to cover the fact that everyone there was not wearing the wardrobe of the 80s. I will edit this clip down in the final product, and I am considering adding a grainy filter over it to add a nostalgic feel like the duck and car shots. One of the takes I did is for a tilt movement from the ceiling ...
