 Hey blog, it's me Jenna. Welcome back here to tell you how my music video is going. So as we talked about last time, we messed up all of our film and were going to have to try again, which would be a big hassle because it's been kind of chilly outside the past couple of weeks, and our story involves going in the water, which could potentially get one of my actors sick, which would not be good, but I think we may have fixed some of it. So, as you know, we forgot the fact that we are supposed to film in landscape mode as opposed to portrait mode because it will come out bad when we go to post it, so we filmed our entire music video just to then realize this, and we thought we would have to change it, but I think we figured out a way to fix it without having to film the entire thing again. So since we are keeping the clips from our first time filming, I can tell you how the filming went. First off, we filmed the first two scenes a couple days before we filmed the rest of it becau

   Hey blog, it's me Jenna. Welcome back here to tell you how my music video is going. So last blog, I told you how we started filming and how we were going to film the rest on Wednesday. Well, we did, and let me tell you, it was a disaster. First, we totally forgot that the actors had to be in certain bathing suits for the beach scenes, so I had to drive back and forth across town to go to everyone's house to get the right bathing suit. Then we realized that it is cold outside and at least one of the actors has to go into the water, which could potentially get them sick. Then we got to the beach, and the waves were super rough and the current was harsh, but that day was the most ideal day to film, so it had to get done. Then one of my groupmates had to get home because of her curfew, forcing us to rush, which made it very stressful.  And finally, the deal breaker for them all is that after we finally finish and I'm getting ready to edit someone in my class, it reminds me t

  Hey blog, it's me Jenna. Welcome back here to tell you how my music video is going.  So remember how I said I was going to film on either Friday or Tuesday? Well, there has been a change of plans again. It's a little challenging trying to move around everyone's schedule, but I think it's going to work out. Back to what I was saying, we started filming on Wednesday, and we filmed the parts that are at the house, but on Wednesday of next week because we are all busy on Friday and Tuesday. But we started filming on Wednesday because we had nothing to do. But we only filmed the first two scenes because they are the only ones in the house, and the other scenes are at the beach. But it was cold here in Florida, which I'm so happy about, but we couldn't go in the water or we would all freeze or get a cold. Filming our first two scenes went great and was surprisingly smooth.  I thought it was going to take awhile, but it didn't take that long. Me being the one who

 Hey blog, it's me Jenna. Welcome back here to tell you how my music video is going. So we were supposed to film this weekend but last minute we realized that we were firstly not prepared and secondly we were all super busy.  For example, Mia had to go to her dad’s house all weekend, which is all the way in Miami.  We could have still done it, but since I have a car, I would have to go and pick her up, which is far, and it would waste a lot of gas.  Next, Amaya goes to Halloween horror nights, which I think we all completely forgot about.   Not only did we forget, but she left Friday, so there would have been no time for us to film because she left Friday morning and we have school   Next, I was busy because my birthday was the Tuesday before that weekend, so I was booked with family dinners and just celebrating my birthday overall, which was great.  Well, it was good on Saturday, but when Sunday rolled around, I did homework all day, and I’m not even exaggerating.  I woke up at 12

Planning for my music video

  Song Title: Stitches by Shawn Mendes Props: Since our location will be at the beach, we'll need the basic beach essentials. This includes gears such as towels, Backpacks, water bottles, glasses, phones, sunscreen and a floaty. These props will be used to give the usual feel of a trip to the beach with friends. All of these will be carried on hand or on our bodies as we navigate towards the location. Location: Fort Lauderdale Beach is the desired location. If nothing goes wrong of course. If not Lauderdale By the Sea is our second beach beach my group and I will film at. (Hopefully nothing happens) Schedule: Sunset, around 6 Pm. On weekends only since we have school and work schooldays. Going For the sunset will be a lot easier with no sun in our faces. The sunset sky is also a way better background since it's pretty. A this time it normally starts to rain as well which is what we prefer at some part in our music video. Backup Plan: If it starts to storm while filming,

  Hey blog, it's me Jenna. Welcome back here to tell you my lovely group mates and my ideas or at least my song because we are not all that planned out yet. So let's start with my lovely group-mates Mia, Amaya, and Zoe. All of them are hardworking and reliable, which is a good character trait if you are doing a project that has deadlines and stuff. Mia, who will be editing and in the film, is very creative, and even though we just started, she already has so many ideas for a good music video. Which is really good for me because I'm stumped in thinking of ideas. Next, we have Zoe, who is a great actor, has some really amazing ideas, and is also good at editing, so she is a really good partner. Once again, this is good for me because their ideas combined are perfection and will probably turn out amazing.  And lastly, Amaya is an amazing scriptwriter and director and will probably make her big debut in our film. And lastly, me, who is your world-famous videographer together we

   Hey blog it's me, Jenna, welcome back here to tell you a little something about myself that you most definitely don't know because we're strangers. First off, my name is Jenna Antonelli, but you can call me Jenna.  I'm in my junior year of high school, which is very stressful so far, and I am not a fan. But if any year matters, it's this year, so it's crunch time friends. But here's the thing i don't really have any hobbies but something i love to do is hangout with my friends a lot. Almost every single day, me and my friends go out to eat after school and then maybe go to the park. It differs depending on the day. When I'm not doing that, I'm most likely sleeping or doing homework because I have a lot of homework. But this year my junior year is my time to shine i'm going to get good grades and set myself up for college. I'm actually so excited for this class because it seems cool. Learning about making videos can help me in my future
