     Hey guys, it's me again.       Unfortunately, my group has not begun the filming process of our music video. The same issue stands that our group members either don't have time yet or are completely unable to film like  Valentina who is still hospitalized. So... we have had a rough start so far. Despite this, I am still doing my part in ensuring our success. So, what exactly does that entail? So far I have watched 6 pop-rock genre music videos in total and taken notes on what elements of the film I have seen in each. I have also identified emotions that each music video makes the audience feel. This is all part of my process of music video research. The music videos I have watched are This Love, Deja Vu, Mine, Better Than Revenge, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, and Good 4 U! The artists who sang these songs are Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, and Olivia Rodrigo. The information I gathered will help me to play my part in emulating similar aspects of other success

     Hey guys! I'm back, did you miss me :)?      This blog was going to be centered around the start of my role in my group's music video filming process. However, my group and I have run into a few problems since starting. I and Charlize, a member of my group, were supposed to begin filming this weekend. The filming schedule had to change, however, because Charlize's family came into town unexpectedly and I had to attend a Girl Scouts meeting. On top of that, our other group member, Valentina was unfortunately hospitalized this weekend. Due to her injury, she cannot film with us for a week. Because of these changes in circumstances, our schedules as individuals and as a group have changed greatly.  So what is my role in figuring out this mess? Well, I have shifted my focus to researching further about music video styles, song genres, and storylines to integrate new ideas into our production. I have also arranged with Charlize to film our separate scenes of each other and

     Hey guys! It's nice to talk to you guys again. Making my commercial was a fun and new experience for me. But now, it's time to collaborate with my peers to film and produce a music video!       I chose to have a group rather than work by myself because a music video is something that generally has a lot going on at once. I thought it would be difficult to film and edit a music video completely by myself. Plus, it's nice to have some friends to make the process interesting along the way. I won't lie, I don't have all the editing techniques or filming knowledge some of my friends may have, so it will be beneficial for us all to help each other out.      But who are these friends? Our group consists of three people. Me, Valentina Agnese and Charlize Moran. We chose to work together for more reasons than that we are good friends. All of us are hard workers who maintain productivity and meet deadlines. We are also fun and flexible individuals who will try to work ar

     Now that I've wrapped up my commercial, I'm on to creating my music video! Get to know me...      My name is Sabrina Navarra and I am 15 years old. I was born on February 1st, 2008, but ironically I have never seen snow. Mostly because I live in South Florida, where there is really only one season year-round, with the occasional 70-degree day in December. I have never lived anywhere else though, and it feels weird to think of the possibility.       I enjoy being with my friends. Some of whom I have known since pre-k and others I have met more recently. I enjoy going to the beach with friends and my family (quite a lot). As well as playing soccer, which is really the only sport I play. I play for a team now, and I hope to make my school team. I enjoyed reading in my childhood, and I still do, but when the school year rolls around I have to take a minor break from my personal books.     When it comes to school I do well , and I always have. I don't dislike all of school.
