 Props: Since my group and I decided to produce an alternative hip-hop/rap music video, our props will be a phone, ring light,  Costumes: In our music video we will have 2 group members as the subjects.

Also, no name brand shirts or pants. Schedule: On 11/15 - 11/17/22, our group research the conventions and codes of a alternative hip-hop/rap music video.

My group is doing "Are We Still Friends" by Tyler the Creator. The genre for this song is alternative hip-hop/rap. In this music genre, the audience usually sees  DJing, rapping (also called MCing), breakdancing, and graffiti. But Tyler's videos are somewhat different than this. The sound throughout the music video might be a background noise, non-diegetic and diegetic sound. These music video may include an eye-level shot, high and low angles. With camera movements, zooms, tracking shots, and pans are also included. These types of music  videos have wide shots, an establishing shot, a medium shot, a close up from the side and front of the face. In some cases, extreme close ups, two shots, and an aerial shot/ God's eye view may be used. Costumes may come from that person's clothing line or matches their style and goes with the weather at that time. Makeup may also be included and some props. For example, if you were at the gym the props would be the gym equipment.

For my group, I wanted to work with someone I knew pretty well and maybe someone who I didn't know. So I am working with David, who is in the AS level, and Chelsey who is also in AS level. They're both in sophomore year, same as me. David has Mr. Katz, while me and Chelsey have Ms. Marchionne. I'm working with David mainly because he was next to me in class, and one of the few people I know the class. Also, because he was in my biology class last year. In biology, me and David sat close to each other so we worked together sometimes. We would also talk when class was almost finished. This year I only have 1 class with him. I don't really know much about Chelsey still. She came into the group because of David in the first project. He said that she was alone and he asked me if she could work with us. My group didn't make any changes since my last project. This is because my group was okay with staying together. Overall, I'm excited to work on the commercial project

Hello, I'm Corvelest, again. I'm so excited to be back and work on my second project. Some food I like are cheeseburgers, pizza, especially margarita pizza. Avocado toast is really good, quesadillas, Shepard's pie, Lasagna, mac n cheese, spaghetti. There is a lot more, and they all might include cheese... I'm a cheese person. I like to draw, I've been in art classes since the third grade, and the middle school I went to had a magnet program for visual arts. I also had painting 1 last year with Mr. Fitz, but now I mainly draw/paint during my free time. I like to play video games, but only on the weekends since by console is at my dad's house. However, since I have games on my phone, I play those instead on a normal school week. I play games like Minecraft, Roblox, Fortnite, and BitLife. I also like to make edits of tv shows/movies with adobe after effects and make video content for YouTube with adobe premiere pro. I only edit on my free time because homework is m
