The Grand Finale: Logic Music Video (1-800-273-8255)

Finally our music video is done! After all the planning, filming and editing we're finally finished with our 1-800-273-8255 music video. It was such a fun learning experience doing this project. The effort and dilligence my team put in has been outstanding. I really appreciate them and I couldn't have done this entire project without them. There is a lot we can take from working on this project. We adapted to each others way of doing things and even managed to learn new things from each other such as tricks in acting, filming, and editing. Also, we believe that when it comes to teamwork, we have improved and are able to harmonize our skills to reach a goal. The whole goal was to make sure that our message was received and that people realize that bullying is a major cause in suicide. People go through things at home and hide the pain away with a smile and no one ever knows until it’s too late. My team and I have brought more awareness to these traumatic issues and have given a solution through music that hopefully will help others in need of advice or a friend. The number above is a name from a song but is also the suicide prevention hotline number that can be used. We feel as though a great job has been done and a lot of fun was had in the making of this film. Hope you all enjoy!!

Short Film Research: ( Migrants/ Drama)

This short film was 8 minutes long and the plot was pretty easy to figure out basically there were polar bears being pushed out of their home lands due to global warming and exiled from brown bear territory being left to fend for themselves on the ocean. In the beginning of the short there was a climax point where the baby polar bear fell of the ice and into the water from the ice breaking and the mother jumps after the baby. This was a great way to start the film it immediately introduce the drama factor that a film should have lots of heart racing and anticipating moments. There was a conflict with the polar bears and the brown bears over food and the was another great way to help deliver a message. Although it is animated the film didn't use and real dialogue just animal noises such as grunts and snorts and well as instrumental music in the background. It reminds me of how lonely many of us are. It can be interpreted as a political manifesto, ...
