Pitch

 Pitch A: A girl goes to hang out with her friend and soon realizes something is wrong. Pitch B: A girl goes to a hotel party with a lot of people and things start to become suspicious  Discuss pitch A: I would be interested in making this because it will be easier than pitch B and more accessible. First of all we would only need two people and second of all we could choose different locations. We could choose where ever we want to hang out instead of choosing one place. That way if one of the plans to meet at a location goes terrible we could pick a different location. Filming with two people is easier than filming with a group of people because you would only need to keep track of a minimum of people.  Discuss pitch B: I would also be interested in making this film but not as much as pitch A. For this pitch we could bring our friends to a hotel and film there. If plans change for the location of the hotel then we would have to choose a different hotel location or even change the whol

  For this music video I am going to be working with my friends Amyia and Elieen. Amyia I chose to work with because she is a hard working student, gets A’s and B’s and is the one of my best friends. She is one of the most nicest and funniest person I have ever meet. I have been friends with her for 7 and a half years. I am glad to work with Amyia. I also choose to work with elieen because she is a productive and creative person to work with. I have been friends with her for about 2 years. She is able to come up with useful ideas pretty quickly. I admire both of them. I am looking forward to working with both of them in this video. We haven’t chosen music officially but we have in mind some royalty free music from YouTube. Our genre that we chose is mystery so we would search up “Royalty free music mystery”. Our back up music would be a song sung by BeyoncĂ© . The reason this is a back up music plan is because we have to email the music company manager for Beyonce and it could take a wh

 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
