Music Videos Rock, And I'm Sad

For our amazing music video, we've put in a lot of work towards it. I've done a lot of editing, and filming. Justice has been in the actual video most of the time, being as swaggy as possible. Maceo has also been in the video a lot and has been swagging it up constantly. Lastly, Sophia has helped with the editing, and filmed a lot. We've all brought props such as sunglasses, vests, flamboyant coats, and disco pants.

I think that my audience will enjoy the humor factor of the whole thing, I mean it's pretty hilarious. Instead of having a blooper reel, the whole thing was basically a blooper. We had creative lip-syncs, an interesting plot line, and a good overall turn out. I think our audience will love the whole thing. Even though it's four minutes, it's a good four minutes.

I think our music video represents what we learned this school year a lot actually. Even though it might seem like it can be basic, we put in a lot of hard work and dedication to this project. We had to use our camera skills, getting good clear angles, and the editing skills were crucial.




Behind the scene photos of us messing around are the best kind




The last four were done by my outstandingly amazing friend Michael John Anderson, thanks, bro.

Through painful editing, and extremely fun filming, I'm going to have to say that this was one of the best projects we have ever done. Sadly, I am leaving to the high school too soon. I am going to miss this class, it made me who I am, this class is a part of me, and always will be. I'm sorry if you've seen me start tearing up because I don't want to leave morning announcements and GT but, Mr. Sandrel, thank you for the best class I could ever ask for, for three years. I hope the new students will love the class as much as I do.

Lyrical Livelihood

To be honest, I really don't know my favorite song.  I know my favorite band... But all of their songs are so amazing. When I listen to their music, it makes me feel like I can express everything I'm thinking by just playing their music, they help me to feel better and think better, and just be better in general. By the way, my favorite band is Twenty Øne Pilots. They are a band that consists of techno style music with punk or emo influences on a lot of songs, that can really vary throughout any song that you may choose.

Justice, Maceo, Sophia, and I, are doing Stayin Alive by Bee Gees. We picked this song because it's basically the most funky amazing song ever. It's funny, catchy, and everyone knows it. Best song ever am I right? The song itself is one of the most danceable well known songs I've heard. 

For our visual stories in the video, we're planning or a lot of swag. Mostly ironic. It involves swag walking, swag dancing and the evil swag disciples. We join forces and have the ultimate swag to defeat the swag disciples. We have to dance and protect the swag. God, this is awesomely embarrassing. Not to spoil too much, but it's going to be pretty amazing.
