       Hi Blog. Update on the picnic. All of our actors could not make it to the picnic on Wednesday. I decided to do my backup plan which is making a blog video instead of making a story video. In case u don’t know the difference a vlog is basically showing videos of what you do in a day and a story video is when a video planned to perform actions with actors. So instead of having actors in the video it will just be me and my partner Mariana. Our first plan basically failed but lucky we had a back up plan. The picnic blog will now take place on Sunday October 29 at 2 p.m. Since I have a minimum of two people I will bring less snacks. We will also be doing a party blog that is happing next week Nov 4 at 7:00 so stay tune for that.  Hopefully this goes well and we won’t have to change plans again. I will update you guys sometime next week on how the picnic blog went. Until next time!

     Hi Blog! Today I am going to be talking about the filming for my video. Wednesday October 25 I am going to have my picnic. Me and my actors will be meeting at 4:00 p.m. at Royal Palm Park. I was told bringing snacks and drinks would make the picnic more realistic and fun. So me and my actors will be bringing snacks like chips, cookies, donuts, fruits, etc and drinks like water, soda, fruit punch, etc. I will also be bringing a blanket and cushions to sit on to be comfortable. Once we get there I will set everything up. I will have one of our actors film our picnic. During the picnic we will ether talk, be silent, or be quiet for one bit and talk for another bit. I will have different media term. For example I will use a pan movement in my video to show you the actors of the video. I will also capture what the weather look like because I want that aesthetic for my video. I love taking pictures the weather. I do it on a daily basis. That’s about it I have to talk about today. I’ll k

   Hi blog! Today I’m going to talk about our first planning day that happing October 29th. Since I already have 6 actors including me for our music video I thought it would be great to plan. October 29 is next Sunday. We haven’t decided what time we’re going to meet yet but it will mostly like be between 12-4 pm. We also haven’t decided what place yet but because me and the other actors live In Oakland Park I will pick a place in Oakland Park. When we meet we will be talking about which positions the actors want to take in the video. For example, one of them could be best friend of birthday birthday girl  and the other could just be a side friend that doesn’t talk. I am going to divide tasks around the actors. Such as getting food or bringing clothing. After that we are going to talk about what clothing attire we should wear. Finally we are going to make a back up plan in case something doesn’t go planned out. For example if someone is sick and can’t make it then I have to find a back

 Hi blog! Today I am going to be talking about where I will be filming my music video and what days. For the video I will have actors including me. The video will consist of my friends birthday.The first part of the video will be taken at the beach. Specifically Las Olas Beach. At the beach I will film the sunrise at exactly 7:00 using my phone and tripod. This event will take place on October 21 which is a Saturday. That way if things don’t go as planned we can do it the 22nd. The second part of my music video will take place at a park.This will take place at Mills Pomd Park. I choose this park because it has lots of space to film  and it is close to my house. Also because I want something special for my friend.At this park me and the actors will be having a picnic. This picnic will consist of a variety of food. This will take place on October 28th also a Saturday. The last part of our video will take place at the actual party for my friend. We will have lots of food and drinks. This

Hi Blog Today I will be planning my music video! My decided song is "Pink + White" by Frank Ocean. This song is from the album, "Blond" which was released in 2016. You may listen to this song on many platforms such as Spotify, YouTube music, Pandora, etc. This song is in the R&B/ Soul genre. 1 plan to film my blog at three main locations. The beach, the park, and at my friend's birthday party. My story will be about my friend's birthday celebrations! I'm super excited to go to all these locations. My costumes will be specific to the actors and the location in which I am filming. For example, at the beach the costumes will be coastal. Coastal may be described as blues, whites, and beiges. I believe these color would really complement the filming location. My schedule will be specific filming dates. Currently, it seems as if I will be filming on October 21st and 28th, More filming days will be planned once I have set actors and actresses. If my s

     I chose to work with one of my closest friends Mariana. For one she knows how to edits better than me and she has more pictures and videos of me and her or her phone. Let me tell you a little about her. She is one of the sweetest persons I have ever met. She is so bubbly and perky. I’ve never seen her sad or sorrowful. Shes also smart , talented, and able to do different hobbies. For example she does ballet, dance and theater. I don’t know she’s able to do that while in school. The song we choose is pink + white by Frank Ocean. Pink + white reminds us of looking at a sunset. It gives a balance of both happiness and sadness. Which is what me and Mariana love. The background behind is the song is that the singer (frank ocean) details his memories of his youth and someone close to him who passed away. He remembers that person by recalling the lessons they taught him. This song is one of Frank Ocean’s popular hits. He is also the 39th most popular rnb artists. He is known for expressi

 My name is Mya and this is my intro to my music video! I am 15 and was born on January 29,2008. My mother is from Belize and my father is from Jamaica. I have one brother who is 2 years older than me and a black and white cat named shadow. Some things about me is that I love animals, traveling, makeup, and clothes. I love to go to shelters and look at the different animals that are there. Sometimes I am scared to touch the animals. For example, one time there was this huge yellow snake that I was scared to touch but I overcame my fear and eventually went to pet it. I also like to travel to places. For example, last summer I went to Jacksonville and for Christmas break I went to California. I would like to to travel to more places when I’m older. I might even be a flight attendant. A number one thing about me is that I LOVE makeup. Makeup is what I spend half my time on bc I like trying new trends and new products. Clothing is something that I also like.I love thrift shopping and findi
