Our actors will also be wearing t-shirts or tank tops.  Schedule On 11/12, we began to research other music videos from the same genre and song. On 11/16, we started to plan for our video. We established costumes, props and the location. We also made a backup plan. On 11/19, we will create our storyboard for the music video. On 11/29 through 12/10, we will film and edit our music video. On 12/13, we will have our final music video completed.  Location We plan on filming the music video at the beach and in a house.

The band American Authors wrote this song, and they tend to do more pop rock and indie alternative songs.  We notice tracking shots in many pop music videos, allowing the viewer to follow alongside the main actors In the Best Day Of My Life music video, there are lots of close up shots to show the actors happiness and other emotions Jump cuts are used to switch between two different scenes depending on what the lyrics are saying They wear elaborate costumes, usually fit to follow along with the story being portrayed in the video.  During sadder or more dull moments the video uses dim lighting and the actors have low energy In the happier moments we can see sunlight and brighter colors, along with visible happiness in the actors as well. Out of all of the videos we watched, all of the videos told the story pertaining to the lyrics In pop videos, the actors are usually dancing. The dances can be choreogr

 I am in a team of three people. My group is made up of me (Maria Koehl), Siena Pancera, and Parker Merrick. Each of us carry a different set of skills to bring to this class. We work well together and have a good relationship built. We all work together to benefit each other as well as ourselves. We play soccer together and that team bond we have can be a great asset.

She can also keep things in order and make sure and filming or editing processes go smoothly. She is outgoing and can work well with everyone. Siena has computer skills and is creative. She can edit as well as help come up with ideas to put our pieces of media together and make it engaging. She also has experience with backstage product
