  Scene 1: Sum of us are hanging out at the park in a sad mood. The energy is low and no one is really talking or saying anything to each other. Scene 2: One of us walks into the frame blasting the song “Happy” by Pharrell Williams on a speaker/boom box. At first we are all questioning him but after listening to the music we all get up and start feeling ourselves. Scene 3: The friend holding the speaker playing the music does a hand wave indicating for the others to follow him. So they do and as they do they do it in a dancing manor. Scene 4: All the friends are walking throughout the park with more energy, the sun is brighter, the sky is more blue, and there is more activity going on. Overall the entire mood shifts to a happier one. Scene 5: Next shot will be taken in Downtown Hollywood of the friends walking by people and giving off their “happy” and good energy to everyone around them.  Scene 6: An abrupt transition of downtown to the beach will be made. In the beach shot the friend

 For our upcoming music video we have to plan many things We have to plan when we go to film. Our video is going to have different films with different shots and moods. Each filming location will have to be planned. For our beach scene we need to plan what time to go. If it is raining it would ruin the shots and we wouldn't be able to film. Same if it was too sunny as the sun would ruin the shots. We need to plan the day we film as well. Winter break is coming up and Jason will be out of town. He is our cameramen and we need him to be filming the video so planning is a must with this music video. We may film during the days he is here for the break. It has been hard to meet up in the past with Jhon's and Zeyn's work schedule. Jason also goes to the gym, making it hard to make plans for filming. Most of the group needs to learn how to dance somewhat. We will have to watch youtube videos and practice for the dancing in the video. Another thing we have to plan is what props we

 For our set we have to check the weather and time for when filming can be done. Our video requires a sunny, happy day to match our vibe. We are also filming at the beach. The shooting day should be planned to have no rain on that day. It should also not be super clouds because it will ruin the shot. It also can't be too hot because we will be all sweaty which won't look good on film. Another factor is the time of day we film. If we film at noon it will be very hot and the sun will be fully out. This makes it hard to get good angles as the sun will flash the camera. We also have to research what songs we may want to use. We are between a couple of songs but are most likely picking Happy by Pharrell williams. More research needs to be done on dancing. None of us are good dancers except maybe Jhon. We may have to look up youtube videos on basic dancing for the video. Another thing needed is research on music videos with similar vibes. We would do our best to incorporate these ele

 My group includes myself (Zeyn El-Ali), Jason Alexandrescu, Jhon Gomez and Samuel Feinzig. We chose to be in each other's groups for multiple reasons. We are very close friends. Since our freshman year of high school we have been very close and good friends. We relate on lots of things such as our hobbies such as the gym and art. We all like to workout and listen to similar music. We hang out with each other consistently and frequently. We know each other's families and have good relationships with them. We all have very good chemistry with each other and can always have fun while working efficiently. I believe that this can be applied to our films in this class. Each of us have good skills which can help us in the class. We can all express different emotions on our faces to convey a certain mood. Also, we have all scene lots of movies. This helps as we know what good cinematography looks like. Each of us also have a good sense of humor. This can be applied to our filming in t
