Music Video Finale

HEY!!!! Summer is super close and ususally our last project is my favorite of all time.......... MUSIC VIDEOS. This year my teammates are Ashley Alfiler, and Julie Castro. We all have songs that we like to listen too but I guess when it come time to pick a song all the songs you listen to vanish from your mind so we went with the first idea that was given. The song that Ashley picked was sit still look pretty by Daya. Our storyline matches perfectly with our lyrics because we have a girl crying because a boy dabbed on her in the beginning and then walk away. Then in the end she walk up to him then dabbed on him. 

Fast editing montage sequencing is an editing technique that cuts the video to make it more interesting. In our music video we used this technique a bunch of times to make our video more interesting. My favorite fast montage sequence is where Julie, Ashley, and Me and standing in the middle of the field and at first i am in normal clothes and then when it comes back down I have nice clothes. Another one of my favorite shots is where there is a wide of Ashley crying and me and Julie come to cheer her up. Then we have a close of us patting her back and talking to her. Then we have another wide of all of us walking away while having fun! I think that when you use this it makes things more interesting and funner to watch. When editing you have to make it precise especially in music videos because you want the lip-sync to match the words or else it will look off and weird. In our music video we had to make sure that the lip-sync and the fast editing montage sequence matched and looked really nice.  

 This music video showcases my best work because we had to plan, use iMovie, Photoshop, and even filming techniques. Since we couldn't use our " music play back device" or a.k.a or phones we needed to film out of school so we had to plan where we were gonna go and film and how we were gonna get there and what we were gonna do. We learned how to use iMovie last year but this year we actually get the chance to figure it out and find out how to use it fully. In photoshop we have a hate/love relationship because sometimes it makes the most beautiful things and then sometimes it totally shuts down and we can't work on it. In iMovie it was hard because last year almost every time I tried to help edit they would say go do something else so i didn't really get that full knowledge I got just enough to know how to break things and add transitions

SIT STILL LOOK PRETTY 
by: DAYA 

Could dress up

To get love

But guess what?

I'm never gonna be that girl

Who's living in a Barbie world

Could wake up

In make up,

And play dumb

Pretending that I need a boy

Who's gonna treat me like a toy

I know the other girlies wanna wear expensive things

Like diamond rings

But I don't wanna be the puppet that you're playing on a string

This queen don't need a king

Oh, I don't know what you've been told

But this gal right here's gonna rule the world

Yeah, that is where I'm gonna be because I wanna be

No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty

You get off on your 9 to 5

Dream of picket fences and trophy wives

But no, I'm never gonna be 'cause I don't wanna be

No, I don't wanna sit still look pretty

Mr. Right could be nice for one night

But then he wanna take control

And I would rather fly solo

That Snow White

She did right

In her life

Had 7 men to do the chores

'Cause that's not what a lady's for

The only thing a boy's gonna give a girl for free's captivity

And I might love me some vanilla but I'm not that sugar sweet

Call me HBIC

Oh, I don't know what you've been told

But this gal right here's gonna rule the world

Yeah, that is where I'm gonna be, because I wanna be

No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty

You get off on your 9 to 5

Dream of picket fences and trophy wives

But no, I'm never gonna be, 'cause I don't wanna be

No, I don't wanna sit still look pretty

Sure I'm a pretty girl up in a pretty world

But they say pretty hurts

And I don't wanna sit still
