MUSIC VIDEO FINALE

P1T4 Sorry from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.


I'm on a team with Zephen, Cephas, and Steven. We chose the song Sorry by Justin B we chose it because we wanted to do a video where we break something and get in trouble for it. We had to go through 20 songs that we all chose and pick one.

The storyline we created was pretty good because it matched the song lyrics. When we created it we thought of us breaking the vase and stuffed animal to get in trouble and try to say sorry. We have had a lot of struggles to get our story line for the Music Video but we are now finish with the story board and are now working on our B-roll and other shots.

I'll evaluate our degree for this Music Video by a 3 because we are struggling to film some shots and haven't had the time to go out and shoot some more videos because of our busy and tight schedules after school. So we are planing to film today (5/16/17) and tomorrow (5/17/17) and finish our shots and more lip syncs. We have struggled to get shots before on a different project but it wasn't this much of a struggle. We all have different things to do like Zephen he has football practice, Cephas doesn't get home till late everyday, and Steven doesn't have a way to get to the film location and also gets home late because of the bus.

Sorry by: Justin Bieber

I know you know that I made those mistakes maybe once or twice
By once or twice I mean maybe a couple a hundred times
So let me, oh let me redeem, oh redeem, oh myself tonight
Cause I just need one more shot at second chances

Yeah, is it too late now to say sorry?
Cause I'm missing more than just your body
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?

I'm sorry, yeah
Sorry, yeah
Sorry
Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?

I'll take every single piece of the blame if you want me to
But you know that there is no innocent one in this game for two
I'll go, I'll go and then you go, you go out and spill the truth
Can we both say the words and forget this?

Is it too late now to say sorry?
Cause I'm missing more than just your body
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?

I'm not just trying to get you back on me
Cause I'm missing more than just your body
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?

I'm sorry, yeah
Sorry, oh
Sorry
Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?
I'm sorry, yeah
Sorry, oh
Sorry
Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?

Movie Trailer Premier

P1T6_Survivor's Angel from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.

  Our project is about a girl who's brother passes away from cancer, it's been two years since he passed but she still can't get the doctors words out of his head "I’m so sorry. There was nothing else we could do." She later finds out she has cancer and it's about to take her too, she is in a lot of pain and needs help. Her dead brother Dylan comes back into the picture and says that he could help, she's very puzzled about whats going on. I contributed by coming up with some ideas about the situation and how they will react.


  The biggest challenge was making the Movie Trailer was getting the camera angles we needed to make it look so real. Our successes was getting great camera angles to show some expression. This was a challenging process but we managed to make it look really awesome.expression. This was a challenging process but we managed to make it look really awesome.

  I think that the results we got was great because it was around that range. I think we should of done a bit better to win the class favorite but it's good.

Metamorphosis Animation

P1T2 Metamorphosis from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.

Our project goal is to get a good grade and finish the project. We are going to be making all the animations on PhotoShop we animated on this before and its easy to put all the animation together to make it look as real as possible. The animations types we are using is stop motion.

Our focus statement is a bout a fish who is bullied everyday after school and a shark passing by sees it happening and stops to help the fish out. The next day the fish swims home like always but doesn't care about the bully because the shark scared him away, but the bully came back out and stoped the fish and says, " your lucky the shark was there or I would of cleaned you out!" The fish then does this awesome move and turns into a HUGE SPIDER CRAB and pinches the bully, the bully then runs off and never bothers the fish again. 

Our team was great we all worked hard and put our heads together to finish the project and get voted best overall. We took a lot of time creating the characters and scenes, we wanted it to be as neat as possible. We met up after school to get some great stop motion animation photos.

Geometric Portraits

Facial expressions are universal because different people around the world have different whys they express their feelings. A lot of people may have the same facial expression when they are sad, mad, hurt or stressed. People show different facial expressions for different things or thoughts. Say you was in Japan and you smiled when the f asked you a question, they might think you did something wrong or you are going to do something wrong.

First I took a photo. Then I made a new project in photoshop Width: 8.5 in. Height: 11 in. Res: 300 p/i. added the photo and made it symmetrical and added a lock so nothing goes wrong with it. Next I added a grid to start off polygons. Then you go to your tool bar and select the shape tool and change it to the line tool (make sure the color of the line can be seen). Add a line straight through your picture and hide the side your not going to use.Then you outline your self portrait or portrait. Then you do your polygons (make sure that you have details in the eye, nose, mouth, etc...) Once you've done that you outline your polygons with the polygonal lasso tool (in the tool bar) and highlight a polygon and go to Filter: Blur: Average and every time you highlight a new polygon use command f on Mac and f12 on windows to add the previous filter. Once you finished doing that you can the cut your background out by using the polygonal lasso tool and outline it. Then make a new copy of your layer and flip the copy. Make sure they fit together and there are no spaces left.

The custom way is way harder than the easy way because on the easy way the computer does it for you and the custom way you do it and there are tiny mistakes that you don't realize until later because your worried about finishing the photo. Doing the custom way takes a lot of time and patience because you are using the polygonal tool to make the polygons. My brother had a logo on his shirt and I used the polygonal tool and the eye dropper tool to cover the image with the color of the shirt. The easy way is a bit different because the computer just generates random polygon across the photo but when your doing the custom way you get to put your own polygons to make it look AWESOME.

Verbal Landscapes

Nature impacts my life because all of our stuff comes from nature our clothes, homes, cars, food etc... Without nature we wouldn't be able to live through the cold weather or wouldn't be able to eat/drink anything. I love nature because I can explore everywhere and see new things. Nature is all around us and is also inside us.

Timelapse and slow mos are created by takeing videos for a certain amout of time then going to iMovie or FCPX (Final cut pro) and clicking on your video and going to the retime editor and adjusting the speed to you desire. It takes time to do this for time lapse it can take up to 20 mins. and slow mos can take up to 30 sec. It will take time for it to render but when its done it will be at the speed you chose.

The hardest part is the timelapse, we have to make the camera at a angle where you can see 1/3rd land and 2/3rd sky. We also have to take 5-15 min. to make the timelapse perfect. Time lapses are easy but kinda hard because of the requirements. Slow mos are hard too because your getting close up to something and trying to capture the right moment.

Poetic Personal Statement

Poetry is a shorty paragraph that is meaningful and inspiring. Poetry is used to cheer people up and make them realize some stuff. Poetry can be sad, happy, joyful, mad, calm, wild etc... Poems are really useful every time when my friend is feeling down I use poems to cheer them up and make them realize what they are doing wrong. Poetry also rhymes
and has rhythm here's an example

"life is like a ocean, calm or still,
rough or ridged but in the
end its always beautiful."Flip high and grab the sky

Catch your dreams or lose the seas
Meet your goals or lose your poles
Trick it out to take it out
Go to a game to see the fame
Learn to be the one that they see

I made a rhythm in my poetic statement by putting some of my personal life goals in and adding some rhyme into it to make it sound good. It was a bit hard making things rhyme but I eventually made it sound good. I used rhyme because it has meaning to it and helps people with a hard time out. I added some words like flip because I'm a great front flipper, catch because I am fisherman, meet because I want to meet Ezekiel Elliott. Trick because I do many tricks on stuff, game because I want to go to a Dallas Cowboys game and learn because I always want to learn new things.

Final Product 

Music Video Finale

P2T3 Not Done Yet from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.

Our story line relates to our lyrics because it say's "I am not done yet" which is saying your not done with something etc... The story line is basically us not done with our food and the waiter is taking it back then the waiter brings it back to us at the ending of the song. Not done yet by Soja was about a girl leaving him but we remixed the storyline to people taking food away.

My favorite fast editing montage is when we flash back to me eating food then go back to the video with awesome effects. One thing to know about the music video production is that all the lip syncs that we are doing are all in synced with the song and all fit perfectly. Our photo cover is pretty cool because we show Me, Zephen and Cephas in the cover and our band name is "Da Boiz".

This music video show my best work because of all of my thinking and planning for this project all year long kept getting better and better. Our music video has several quick flash backs and awesome lip syncs. I think our project would get best overall and be in 1st place this time. We have our whole group doing their parts and contributing to the music video.  It will come out great, you'll just have to watch the video to see how great it is.

Not Done Yet

It's hard for me when I Think about the things that never been They keep coming back again Like they've got something to prove I love my memories but they have a way Of controlling me at times And I'm so lost without you yeah yeah
