Music Videos Rock!



MUSIC VIDEOS! This project is one of the most enjoyable, memorable projects that i've done each year for the past three years. I'm so glad to have three of my best friends able to do this project with me. In my group, there is Leleaka Anakalea, Brooke Kauo and Noa Harrison. I love them all because of their amazing personalities. They all now how to have fun while still doing work. We decided to do the song, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper. Although Noa is a boy, and this song mainly revolves around girls, we have found many ways to incorporate Noa. So far we have mostly shot the girls parts, but No has helped us a lot to film and take charge of the camera. I love having him on our team. I also love having Leleaka on my team because of her work skills. She knows how to work under pressure and how to deal with any problems we have on spot. I also love having Brooke because she ALWAYS finds away to make everything funny. She keeps the group lively and happy which we really need for our music video.

I think our audience will love our whole music video, I think they will mostly enjoy Noa's parts, just because of the fact that it's a song mainly about girls and he is somehow finding ways to be in our video. Noa adds a really comedy touch to our music video which is amazing because it will keep people watching the video. I also think they will enjoy Noa's parts the most because of how the girls keep rejecting him but he continues to try and fit in. I'm sure that the audience will be laughing throughout the whole video. Many unexpected things coming.

Making this video is and has been very enjoyable. My team was very interesting because two of the students in my group, are actually newer to this class. This year was their first year in it. Then another group member, this is her second year in this class, and for myself, this is my third year. But that didn't make things any harder. It actually made it a lot more enjoyable being able to teach and learn new thing with the other students. In this video we showed what we learned throughout the year(s) because of our different shots and effects. We also showed what we learned by being able to edit this video on a new program. Throughout the years, we have been usuing Final Cut Pro X to edit all of our videos, but for this project, we had to use imovie which is new to many of us. Although FCPX has a lot more buttons, it does not make it harder. It makes it easier because all the tools we need are right in front of us. But in imovie, we kind of just had to explore and use some knowledge we had from using FCPX.
