Music Video Finale

Hey guys and people out there reading this and welcome to my newest blog post on William Incorporated. This post is special in one way. Do you know how it is special? Well, if you haven't all realized, there is only about 2 more full weeks of school left counting this week. That is actually pretty crazy considering that I think that the year flew by so quick. But, I have something to tell you guys. This actually is going to be my last blog post. Apparently because I am going to be moving to Michigan. Yes and this is not a dare from any of my friends to tell you guys out there that I am going to be moving. But if you do live in Michigan, well Michigan here I come. But anyways, this blog post is not about my departure nor is it about the ending of school. This blog post is about the most speculator and most funniest out of all the projects. You know what it is?! It is MUSIC VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!! You probably would have gotten that considering that you got the word "Music Video" from the title. But, yes the music videos are here and I am teamed up with Elijah O'Day and once again Andrew James Galiza. I chose these teammates because I have never gone with Elijah for a project when I wanted to while Andrew has all the equipment we all need and plus, we all live close to each other so we can plan things easier. I know you guys really want to get through with this intro paragraph of me saying things to you and get tthe interesting part so I will let. But, let me wrap up this intro first though. So, in the next paragraph, I will be basically explaining the story behind the song we chose and how it relates to the lyrics. And now, here is the paragraph to this next blog post.

First off I want to start off with explaining what is a music video in case you don't know. A music video is a video that has visuals that are similar to what the story of the song is. For example, here is a link to a music video on YouTube that will help your understanding on music videos. With that out of the way, now lets get to the point of what I wanted to talk about in this paragraph. So our song that we chose was "Animals" by Maroon 5. This song that we chose of course to make a music video needed a story. So, our story is about 3 boys (that are us) are basically in the beginning working until when the music come on, they throw the books everywhere and then exit the room. After they exit the room, they are basically lip syncing all the way out until when they reach the car to go to the Sleeping Giants trail. Once they arrive there, they start hiking and then they do a dance on a flat surface. At the end they do a howl like how the music does. But, to sum it all up, basically these three boys want to become animals. One thing that shows that is when they put mud on their faces and go up the trail to howl in the end. But anyways, the lyrics you can tell talk about animals right? So, the lyrics of the song relates to our music videos by the boys want to become animals in the end. I will not tell you if they did become animals or not but the point of this music video is the journey and the feeling of these boys on their journey to becoming animals. Here is the first paragraph of this blog post.

So, in this body paragraph, I am going to be talking about my favorite fast-edit montage sequence. In our Music Video, there were many fast-edit montage sequences but I really like one and that is the one that I am going to share. So, first of, what is a fast-edit montage. Well if you press that link above, that will take you to a page that talks about what is a fast-edit montage. So, what are we waiting for?! Lets get back into the blog post! In the Music video, there was a fast-edit montage sequence that I really loved and that I want to share to you guys about. The fast-edit montage was when we were dancing to our own choreography. The choreography part was Andrew's idea and he wanted us in our Music Video to dance because that what he likes to do, but it really came out well and it fit with our storyline. Also, another example of a really good fast-edit montage is when we are walking done the hallway in the beginning of the song because it changed shots instead of making one shot really long and then cutting to a short shot. In other Music Videos, you might not see this skill used that much and some teams like ours made there Music Videos have a lot of fast-edited montage sequence shots to keep the audience interested and intrigued instead of bored and dumbfound. Well, here is another paragraph of this last blog post to you guys gone and now we move onto the conclusion paragraph of this last blog post that I will be writing.


A paragraph like this is what makes my expectations to increase especially when this is going to be my last blog post. But lets not focus on that especially when this paragraph is not about what is going to happen in the future. This paragraph is about our opinion if in this project we showed everything that we learned this and if we applied the skills we learned this year for our last project. Well this paragraph will explain the answer to you and how we showed what we learned all year. Lets get to it! So in this project, we did many things that showed of what we learned. First off, what is iMovie and how do we use it properly. We showed this by applying all the things that Mr. Sandrel taught us to do in iMovie. Another thing that I applied in this project is my knowledge of PhotoShop. In our Music Video, we did a title page that has us and the song title as well with the artist. Like I have said the artist of this song is Adam Levine as well with his band Maroon 5. A third thing that we applied to our Music Video is our knowledge of camera techniques. In our Music Video, we have a lot of camera shaking that is good to keep the audiences attention during the film. We also use a lot of wide and medium shots so we don't get the audience bored with one plain wide shot that shows everything that is going on. One other thing that we showed in our Music Video that we learned is how to work as a team. A team involves very high cooperation because if you didn't have this, then your technically not called a team, you would be called a technical team which means a team that has problems that causes them not to succeed. Also, a team involves very high productivity and compassion towards others. If you  have these qualities, then whatever you have a team for, you are most not likely to finish the deed that has to be accomplished. But anyways, here are some tips about teamwork and you can find more about the meaning of working as a team on http://hrweb.mit.edu/learning-development/learning-topics/teams/articles/basics. So, in this case, this leads us to the last thing that we used in our Music Video. The final thing is to having fun to do these types of projects. Mr. Sandrel have been telling us all year that whenever you have fun in your film, the audience gets interested. Now, William Incorporated is officially closing. I don't know if I will ever use this blog ever again but I am sure to keep guys updated on the polls so you guys can have fun even though I am not putting posts on my blog anymore. Well, it has been a nice pleasure to write for you guys to represent my G.T. class. Bye Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or Maybe.

Animated Life Lessons

Greetings everyone who is reading this and welcome to the one and only William Incorporated!!!! Currently in our G.T. class, we are doing an animation project which involves working with other people that we never worked with before! My teammates are Meleana Keawe and Andrew James Galiza. I have already worked with Andrew before but he had no choice but to come to our team. I worked with Andrew for the Composition Scavenger Hunt and the Invention Commercial. Andrew is a 6th grader and he is who I can trust to get things done. Even though I have worked with him before, I still don't know everything about him. My other teammate is Meleana. I have never worked with her before but I know my friend Nicholas has worked with her before. So far in this project, I have no complaints of her lacking her focus or anything bad or negative to our team. She is a seventh grader and she is our person for Andrew and I to look up to if we have any troubles. In the intro paragraph of this post, I will be talking about my teammates personalities and how our animation will exaggerate who they are. Now it is time for me to shut my trap and for you guys to read this blog post and know what I am going to be trying to visualize in your head. Now here is the blog post!!!! You guys all know that everyone has a personality that is similar or different from others. We should respect other peoples' personalities. So today in this paragraph, I will be talking about my teammates' (Meleana and Andrew) personal character traits and how in our animation we will be showing that. So to get things started, I will start just to explain Andrews' personal character traits. Andrew is a boy who is a person who goes with everything and he is a funny and creative guy. In this animation, Andrew shows that he is funny because (I don't really want to spoil the animation but I will try not to though) Andrew takes on a "passion" that involves having to be funny. This ties in why he is also creative. It ties in because this certain "passion" involves having to think on your feet and say something that will surprise the audience. As you can see in my behind the scenes photos, you can see Meleana. Meleana in this animation is a helpful person who helps Andrew and I to find a passion.  But anyways, those are my teammates personal character traits, but I haven't shared mine!!! My personal character traits in this animation is a smart guy who thinks outside the box. You won't see this as much but you will see that I think more about things than Andrew. I don't want to ruin the animation, but I have a passion that involves sports. Well, this is the first paragraph of this blog post!

Our animation that we worked so hard on has a humor factor and a life message or a message that relates to the audience. Do you wonder how we used these things in our animation? Well you are going to find that out in this body paragraph!!! So, our animation really works with a humor factor and not so much on a life lesson but it is a solid animation to work with. Our humor factor is basically what Andrew does as his personality. For example, Andrew is a person who thinks on his feet and have to say something that would make the audience impressed or laugh. He also says jokes o he can make his audience laugh. Here is one of the many jokes in this animation, "What did the ground say to the earthquake? You crack me up!!!!!!!!" The jokes and humor in this animation can relate to you by your present comedians. Comedians have to do jokes that will make their audience laugh and they are really pressured by the way so we give them credit for their hard effort. If you watched the animation before or after you read this blog post, I again want to say for the millionth time that I will not try to spoil. But anyways, our life lesson are don't waste your time doing nothing and live your life fully. These life lessons can basically relate to everyone. For example, everyone doesn't want to be a couch potato and they would be basically be doing nothing except for sitting on a couch doing nothing of their lives ,but not being a couch potato would have the behavior or feeling to do something academically related or do something outside with a friend or even yourself. You have now yourself the final ending of the body paragraph!!! Now we will move onto the conclusion and the final paragraph of this blog post and the wrap up of this weeks blog post!!!!

Now, here is the conclusion paragraph of this blog post.  In this paragraph, I will be talking about the level of productivity considering I have never worked with my team before. So, what are we waiting for, lets get into the paragraph.  So based, on our animation level of production, we did pretty good. The animations that everyone presented to the class were pretty good, but some animations that I am not going to name in my opinion needed a little work to be put upon. But based on our results that came out, I think our level of production was pretty high. I have already worked with Andrew so I know him a little bit but not very much of. This project actually challenged to get us to work with new people cause that is what we have to do in the future. Right??? But anyways, we brainstormed ideas as a team and compromised on an idea as a team. During this process, there were no fighting or complaining of not taking their idea into thought. Also, during the process of making this project, there was no fighting or complaining but there was a lot of pressure and stress. But out of all these things, we had a high level of production to get our animation done. We worked really hard to get this animation done and we put our effort and sweat into this project (literally!!!!). So now, I think this wraps it up for this weeks blog post. I hope you guys will enjoy the animation or if you have already enjoyed the animation, then good for you. I will keep you guys posted on what we will be doing in G.T. these weeks. I hope to write for you guys soon. Bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
