Hello! It's me again! I have finished my music video and I am very happy with it. I will now start on my final task. My name is Lilly Gonzalez. I am a fifteen year old sophomore who was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I love to travel and I am fortunate enough to have been to all seven continents with my parents. I love reading, and playing video games with my friends. I am also an avid music listener. In fact, last year I streamed 268,000 minutes of music! This year's Spotify Wrapped just came out! I listened to 191,000 minutes this year. Typically, I can be found listening to indie or rock music. I also love making art. I’ve gone to many summer camps over the years to develop my painting and sculpting skills. I think stimulating creativity is so important for my brain. I actively partake in my school’s student council with ideas to improve student welfare. My mom is an English teacher at my school. It is nice to have such an accessible resource at school for my f...
Our group has finally moved forward with our filming process. Now we have to get over a large obstacle, music. Our teacher told us that we would need to use royalty free music, unless we got permission from the people who made a published song. The last thing we wanted was for the music to be generic when we were trying to convey a creepy mood to our audience. We tried to brainstorm for song ideas, looking through Spotify playlists and such. After a while, I suggested we use "Everything in Its Right Place." This is a Radiohead song and it seems like a perfect fit for our concept. The song starts fairly mellow but progressed to something loud and overwhelming, which is exactly how we wanted to convey Amelie's emotions. We got to work immediately. I found as many people related to Radiohead as possible. I sent Amelie their Instagram accounts, Twitter accounts, store email, etc. She reached out on every possible platform I gave her. We waited a few days and when we felt like...
After I have finished this project, I learned how to download music off of online sites and embed videos. I can turn a YouTube link into an .mp3 by simply putting it into a converter. This also works with videos you have saved as a file. I can put an .mp4 into a converter and turn it into an .mp3. Once it is an audio file, I can export it anywhere I want, even Spotify if I want to listen there! I was also previously unaware of how to embed videos. My teacher showed me how to copy the HTML code and copy it into my blog. I now know how to make the video play immediately from the website. For this project, I learned it is extremely important to keep on top of your work. I got my first production blog done and submitted on time. However, for my second production blog, I fell behind. I did not finish it when it got assigned and I ended up submitting it late. This was my downfall for this project. Once one of the blogs was overdue, everything got pushed back. From this point forward, I will ...
