After our slight dilemma was figure out, we had one more obstacle we had to figure out. As students, it is not uncommon for us to procrastinate or have a hard time sticking to one schedule. I find that my group, including me can be quite forgetful. Our issue is how we were gonna schedule accordingly when our team mates participate in extracurricular activities and also work part time jobs. All my team mates (except for me )do band. Band requires my  team mates to do a lot of after school practices. My team mates are most likely not able to film during the week due to practices. That’s fine though ,right? We always have the weekend, right? Unfortunately it is hard to work around my group mates schedules. George and Juliana, two of our group mates, work on the weekends. What’s even worse is that their work shifts are all at different times. Whenever George works, Julianna is free and whenever Julianna works, George is available. In no way is this their faults, though. Its just something hard to work around. To solve this issue we have a few possible solutions. either they  prioritize filming over work and call in a day off or film with each person separately. Hopefully we will be able to figure out this issue. It has been a bit challenging but if we  plan accordingly, we’ll be able to get this done. I believe in my teammates that they’ll be able to free up their schedules.

 The action genre is one where the main character is thrown through a series of obstacles such as physical feats, combats, and chases. Its subgenres include adventure and disaster among others. Common Camera Angles, Movements, and Shots: During emotional scenes, Extreme close-ups shots eye levels angles are common to show internal turmoil High angles and low angles are especially used to establish that clear good guy / bad guy convention that is common in action films. Extreme long shots will be used to establish the scenes and locations. Tracking, especially using a dolly, is common to follow fight scenes to create intensity in the movement. Common Mis-En-Sen:Often set in disheveled or clinically perfect settings; at one extreme or the otherThe lighting dims depending on emotion; darker if a negative emotion.Props :accurate to the time period and location, but often include weaponry such as guns, swords, etc. Actors and characters are often dirty or spotless, portraying a serious tone

 For this group project, I will be working with the team I have been working with since the beginning of the year. We are all in the  same grade and have been friends since last year. I am working with George, Julianna, and Jean. I choose to work with this team again because they have good work ethnics. They are all very hard working people and I am glad to be working with them for this project. I am extremely excited to be able to share this experience with them. They all have their own unique traits, they’re motivated to do the best they can and complete work as fast as they can. They  are good at problem solvers and get along well with each other. I’ve known all of them for about a year or so. We are working together but are in different classes. Jean and I take media 2nd period and George and Juliana are in 5th period. This hasn’t been much of an obstacle at all though, except sometimes for communication. We always get our work done on time though.There has been a few times however

 For our music video, my group decided to do a song called “Just The Two of Us” by Grover Washington Jr. and Bill Withers. As this song falls under the R&B genre, the targeted audience, at least in the modern age, is African-Americans (due to the history of R&B with that community), as well as the younger people of the world, mostly adolescents to young adults. - R&B music videos typically attempt to catch the audience sense of attraction. - Older R&B music videos showed men as sophisticated and charming, wearing suits, which attracted to the female audience. - Modern R&B music videos show men as attractive and strong. Most men in modern R&B are tattooed and shirtless, attracting most younger women and showing themselves as strong and wealthy. - The artists in modern R&B also have outfits which include, but aren’t limited to: no shirt, or some plain shirt, a strapped back hat, and some sort of dark pants. This gives the look of a stereotypical “person of col
