            My Enthusiastic freindsss welcome welcome. In today's blog I will be comparing my music video song "Burn" by Ellie Goulding to three other songs. You Need to Calm Down- Taylor Swift   Wide shot, medium long shot, establishing shot, medium shot, aerial shot, tracking, pan, two shot , group shots, close up , point of view , high angle, eye level shot , zoom   Cross cutting, action match, insert, eye-line match, jump cut, cutaway , shot/reverse shot   Lip-syncing   Costumes were b right, colorful, glamorous costumes that match the characters, bright lighting, acting matches characters, for example Taylor Swift acts sassy and confident while the opposing people in the video act aggressive and discriminatory. Makeup matches charact ers overall style, bright and bold for the majority in the video. Props match the scenes being bold and colorful, often times being statement pieces that stand out. Sets match the props, c...

                      Welcome back my enthusiastic friends! In today's blog I will be discussing my group mates for our upcoming music video. My group members consist of my sister Marissa, my best friend riley and another friend of mine named Peyton. The four of us make a very good group as each of us have our own strengths that can contribute to the making of the music video. We are all very responsible and get our work in on time. And we all communicate on the daily so making plans on where to film and figuring out a schedule is a walk in the park. I have known riley for three years as well as Peyton. So, the relationship built between the group members is strong which helps the easy flow of the music video process. As well as the trust we have built with each other. So, if one of us says hey I got the editing part, we will all trust that she knows what she's doing. The only on-going issue with my group is that we all li...

                 My enthusiastic freindsss! Oh how I've missed you. Since We have been gone for so long, I will reintroduce myself. I'm Mackena Modafferi and I am Italian. I'm not sure I mentioned that before. But my mom's side is from carpi and my dad's side is from Sicily. I have a huge obsession for animals and want to pursue my career in the medical field helping them. Another thing about me is my love for the beach! The way the waves crash, the sun beating on your skin, the way your face gets sun kissed. It's the only thing I truly love about Florida. And we all know my thoughts on Florida... I have two whole cases full of seashells that I have collected at the beach. I'm a huge hoarder when it comes to seashells. Something I also enjoy doing is hanging out with my friends. In my commercial there is a slide where it says my best friends. Those three are Isa, Asiah and Noura. I have known them all for three years now and they are lik...

                Good morning my enthusiastic friends! In today's blog I am going to be answering questions on my reflection after making my all about me commercial.     What Technology did you learn to  use?                                                                                                              I learned how to use an app called cap cut. Using this app, I was able to cut and edit my videos just the way I liked. Learning to use cap cut was a trust the process kind of thing. I had to figure out how to put videos in with audio existing and convert them to videos with the song I chose as the background noise. I also ...

This is my all about me Commerical. I hope you guys enjoy it!

                 Welcome back my enthusiastic friend's! In this blog I will be discussing exactly how I am editing and tweaking my blog in order for me to complete it. First, I made the conscious decision to take away the song Roar by Katy Perry. I did that because having two songs in one video didn't mesh well with my pictures and videos. For example, switching from a slow song to a fast song didn't go smoothly when I tried it. Therefore, that song will not be used. Sorry to disappoint all the Katy Perry fans out there, stay strong. Anyways I started out the video with making a cover video so that I can add the all about me commercial caption. So, I uploaded a cover video with the caption just so that my video can start out smooth and not just jump into my videos and pictures.  Next, I started experimenting with the songs as I previously mentioned. I'm not going to lie... it was a disaster. They didn't go together at all. So, I cho...

                     Hey there my enthusiastic friend's! Today's blog is all about the music I used for my all about me commercial and why I picked these songs. The first song I chose was a song called Roar by Katy Perry. I chose this song because it represents the animals loving side of me. The song is about being a fighter. Meaning not backing down or giving up. And she represents that by using different animal analogies such as using a lion because they are the highest and baddest on the food chain. So, I think this song really means to have confidence in yourself. Which is something I've been wanting to up in myself, so this song diffidently helps me do that. I believe this will be the first song I put into the slideshow and the next would be the second song I chose by the Chainsmokers, and it's called Paris. I chose this song because it symbolizes friendship and going down together. As well as illustrating Paris which...
