For one the title of the music video was “2SEATER”. The title of the song allowed a connection for the audience on what the music video could possibly be about, which was friends enjoying time together even with a little conflict in the car in the beginning scene. The camera angles that were used in the video allowed a playful and high-spirited theme. We all did what related to our genre together. I studied the music videos that were also by Tyler, Creator, during the course of my research. My initial idea was that since Tyler, the Creator is such a well-known artist, I would be able to base our music video on his common trends. That idea ended up not being followed through due to Tyler having various crazy costumes and cool sets. Even though Tylers concepts were good, it wasn't a reasonable goal to achieve. We as...

 Nijah, Callie, Adrian, and Imani set out on a crucial adventure, committed to perfecting their film project, right in the center of their creative utopia.  The visionary force, Nijah, had a remarkable talent for weaving ideas into colorful, visually striking tapestries. The thorough researcher, Callie, sorted through materials and discovered subtleties that gave the story more dimension. The technical maestro Adrian brought life to the production of the images and sounds by orchestrating their flawless connection. Imani carefully planned every shot with her perceptive eye, making sure that every moment had a genuine feeling to it.Their editing sessions echoed with passionate discussions, epiphanies, and fits of laughing, creating a vivid symphony of invention. There was an easygoing collaboration spirit, with each person lending their special talents to the group's vision. Thoughts blended together to create a story that was both engrossing and moving. The movie evolved from ...

 This is Nijah and her team's music video! The team enjoyed this process.

  Nijah and her hardworking crew got passionate about the complex process of video editing. They carefully experimented with many editing programs, looking for the ideal balance between effectiveness and usefulness. They explored every avenue, including Video Star, Alight Motion, and After Effects, but none of these platforms fully matched their artistic vision. Their concept was given life by the serendipitous discovery of Capcut, which gave them the expressive canvas they so much wanted for their music video. Slowly but surely, they incorporated video from their first meeting, using YouTube to record the sound. They skillfully retrieved and synced the audio from their screen capture, which is a crucial step in coordinating sound and vision. Mindful of their audience, they diligently removed any explicit language, ensuring a polished, professional product. The next recording session proceeded triumphantly. The group came together in a gorgeous park, where they took a variety of in...

This process of filming has been going very smoothly for the team. During the process of filming, the team wanted to make sure they included multiple things into their project. One thing would be their camera angles. The team made sure to get shots of Nijah and Callie from behind. Doing this created a two-person shot. The view of this two-person shot also made it an over the shoulder shot as well.  Another shot the team got of Nijah and Callie was a bird's eye angle. This shot was filmed by Imani and was done through a sunroof of a car. Some other angles that were used were medium close-up shots and a three-person shot.  The team originally did already have a three-person shot, but they are hoping to get a better angle of it. The next time the group films they hope to get more angles. They also hope to get either a pan or a tilt in it. With them going bowling, the angles that they want to film are endless. They hope to get a long shot of the bowling alley. They will be going t...

 For the group's first day of filming, they were very productive. Unfortunately, they did have to change locations due to Dania Pointes ice cream parlor being closed. So, the group relocated to another location in Fort Lauderdale. The team recorded outside of Softtea Dessert Bar, which had nice scenery and an empty parking lot that allowed them to record freely. The parking lot also had very good and natural lighting. Using the parking lot, the team was able to capture many different angles. Such as a two-person shot, birds eye angle, medium close up shot and more. During the recording at the parking lot, Callie and Nijah were the main focus. Imani and Adrian were behind the camera, making sure the music and the angles/shots were right. Then, the group went to Chick-fli-a to capture more shots. Chick-fli-a also had good natural lighting, as well as the restaurants lights. Going to Chick-fli-a allowed them to do their ice cream shots that they planned to do before. It also gave the ...

 The team has made much progress. They are now deciding what costumes they want to wear. As well as the scenery. These decisions were made very easily. Everyone was in agreement in making these decisions.  The costumes the team will be wearing is something casual.  As if they were going to school or going to hang out with their friends. Nothing that looks like they are going on a business trip, or they are just rolling out of bed. They came to an agreement that for their outfits they cannot have certain clothing items on. Such as flip-flops, clothes with negative words on them, nothing too short and more regulations. Outfits that are appropriate for everyday wear. For scenery, they chose a place with lots of lights and somewhere that's very clean. The team is very adamant on having good scenery.  This is why one of their main choices for location was Dania Pointe. It has a lot of light, and nice outdoor scenery. As well as inside scenery too, at the ice cream shop an...
