Music Videos Rock!


P5T7 Never Gonna Give You Up from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.


My teammate, Ashley, was probably the person who contributed the most. She is the main character in the music video. She also always tries to come when we meet up after school. The first time we met up, I went to Ashley's house. I was the only one who could go because Eden was very busy that week and Sophia was very busy as well. Ashley was busy with gymnastics and piano. Eden was busy with family and Sophia was busy with other sports. Ashley tries to make time but sometimes she can't. Ashley is a hard worker and I'm glad she is on my team. Even as I'm typing this she is working on our production plan for our music video. She is an amazing teammate. She keeps everything organized in our production plan. She also saved us by coming up with the idea to use teddy bears in our music video at the last minute. Sure, she is busy all the time with other things but she still tries to contribute. She also edits the most and thanks to her, we finished. Sophia tries to contribute but she's just to busy.  Sophia has done one or three lip syncs, me and Ashley have done almost five. Sophia does most of the filming so she does do her fair share of the work. She also helped with posters. Now, Eden. She had a lot going on before the rough cut was due. She doesn't really have time to help out. She has done three lip syncs so far though. She has also acted in the last scene. She is in about three scenes I believe. I try to contribute as much as I can. I'm never busy after school so I'm always there when we have to meet up. I have filmed a few times. I have done a few lip syncs. I do always bring the props (the teddy bears). Well Sophia and Ashley brought their own one time. I have acted in a few scenes. My computer is our editing station. But, overall Ashley has contributed the most! With her busy schedule she still pulls through and tries to hep as much as she can.

When I watch our music video, I laugh at almost every part. I mean, its funny seeing four girls dance around with  teddy bears singing with a deep voice. When filming, there were a lot of mistakes so, of course, there are bloopers at the end. My favorite part was when Ashley threw away a donation box. When we filmed it, we had to try more than six times. It was really funny. I think the audience will enjoy seeing that part. The bloopers will probably be the best part overall. Another one of my favorite parts, that were from the bloopers, was when Ashley threw the box then the paper in it flew away and I had to chase after it. I really  like working with Ashley, I think without her, we would never had finished. But in the actual music video, another part that I liked was when Ashley, Sophia, and I were dancing around with teddy bears lip syncing together. so I think the audience will enjoy that, or the other parts with us dancing with teddy bears. Or the part of me looking like a two year old skipping around with teddy bears. Either way I had a lot of fun doing this music video with my teammates.



Our music video (MV) shows what we have learned because we have included a poster at the end. That poster shows what we have learned how to use Photoshop. We have also included many effects so the MV represents that we have learned how to use iMovie. It also shows we have learned to use the cameras. If it weren't for the cameras, we would have never gotten anything done. We have also learned how to use the green screen because we have included a part where we use the green screen in the MV. Another thing we have learned to do is make animations. We have included an animation at the end. We have learned a lot this year so we tried to show that in our music video. This year has gone by so quickly. We have learned many things. One of the main things were Photoshop and the cameras. We have done so many projects that have to do with Photoshop.
