 Hi, I am back to take you through the steps of our filming process. Today we began filming for our music video. We met at the Galleria Mall at 4:30pm. We established who would be playing what role, since the composers of this song was not one single individual. We were instructed to film based off of our storyboard so we would not go off track during our filming process. First, we all found red dresses to wear for the intro. We were introduced one by one for the video. After we did the shot with the red dresses, we did a shot in the mirror. This was to show that we are independent enough to get our own clothing. We did not film the whole music video today at the Galleria Mall. We will have our own individual parts in the video. Doing this video was a fun experience. Filming the music video was easy. I thought it would be very difficult to do. Before we got there I was thinking in my head. I was like how are we going to record this if we all want to be in one shot. Luckily St Flore...

  First Scene: For our first scene, it’ll establish us as “Destiny’s Child”. All four group members will be at the mall letting the camera pan across them. We don’t have a transition yet but there will be a smooth transition guiding us into the next scene. Second Scene: For the second scene, there will be a closeup shot of Sarah in her work uniform and her work logo. She will be talking to a costumer and answering their questions. This scene will include a reverse zoom, a point of view from the costumer’s eyes, and an over the shoulder shot when the costumer is paying. Another transition will happen at the end of this scene also. Third Scene: In the third scene, Julie will be shopping in the mall. There might be a man trying to pay for the things she is buying but she declines his offer. This is to show that she doesn’t need a man to buy her things. She’s independent enough to do things for herself.  Fourth Scene: In our fourth scene, the camera will be taking a low camera ang...

  The next step of our project is planning .  T his is the time where we  think of which  conventions,   we  want to incorporate  and which ones  we will  le a ve out.  There  were a  lot of conventions   seen and noted . However, we can only fit so much into a minute-long vide o .    Props:  Since the song is about women getting  what they desire through their own  earnings, the  scene  where  we a re  at the mall  props such  as  money , shopping bags ,  and what we buy will be used. The ind ividual scene s  won’t have props that go with the music ,  but rather the actions  made   by each actor  will  be  a representation of the music.    Costumes:   We will be all dressed in different attire for our personal scenes.  But  there will be a point where we are all in one scene, so  we will color ...

  Hey guys, back to square one of every project. Researching and noting the conventions of  the general product.  Since  I’ ll be  working on  a music video to  a destiny child song, I've watched and taken notes about  their  videos.  I also expanded  my research to TLC videos. They’re   another female group who  are  known for their incredible  talent .    Destiny’s Child rose to become one of the most popular female groups in the 90’s.  They were formed in Houston , Texas in 1990.  Beyonce and Lativia were just 9 years old, Kelly Rowland  joined in 1992 and Letoya joined in  1993.  Destiny’s Child w ere  finally  offered a recording contract by Columbia. They opened for artists like SWV, D ru Hill, and Immature.    The genre of Independent Women is R&B.  R&B combines elements of rhythm and blues, pop, soul, funk, and hip hop.  It isn’t the...
