 Hey welcome back! We've started planning for the music video. The music video is going to be shot at Natalia's house. We haven't decided on a date to film the video yet. We are planning on using Marlo's cellphone to film the music video. We've already decided how to split up the roles. In the original music video, the characters are a boyfriend, The boyfriend's best friend and his evil girlfriend. We've swapped out the boyfriend role to a best friend role. Instead of a love triangle, this is now a story about friendship. Natalia is going to be playing the best friend that's being fought over. I am going to be playing the geeky "good" best friend.

 Welcome back! There are many conventions to Taylor Swift music videos. Normally. Taylor Swift has a story line based on what her song is about, and she will be the main character/ actor of her music video.

Olivia Rodrigo is a musical artist that produces similar music and uses the same type of storytelling devices in music videos as Taylor Swift. Like Taylor, Olivia uses allusions to other pieces of med

   Hello, welcome back! I will begin a group blog, here some background knowledge on my team. Me and my team have previously worked together before on a group commercial. We all worked fairly well and had great communication skills together. I am in a group with Natalia sorbo, Marlo Toomer, and Harley Hanson. We have all been previous friends and live fairly close to each other. This is convenient when working in a group project. We learned over the course of this school year, and many group project, that we all have our own sets of skills. When we all work together, we can combine our skills and make sufficient progress. Our plan to film this music video is to us the song "you belong with me" by Taylor Swift. We will alternate houses from Natalia's house to Marlo's house when needing to film for this project.   Not only do we work together so well because of our friendship, but we also give each other constructive  criticism. This is crucial when it comes to group wo

   Hello, let me re-introduce myself. Ever since I was little, I loved to read. From horror, to romance, to thriller I read all kinds of books. My favorite genre would probably be thriller or romance. I read a plethora of Books made by Colleen Hoover, Nora Roberts, Laurie Halse Anderson, and Nicolas Sparks. Out of those books my favorite author would be Colleen Hoover. My favorite season is summer, as I have always loved summer. My birthday is in summer, which is one reason why summer is my favorite season. I also love the hot weather, the sun being out, and no school. Summer just brings happiness to all in my opinion. My favorite place to go to is the library. I have five siblings, and I am the middle child. I am very close to my siblings and my brother is my best friend. Me and my brothers often watch anime together. On the weekends I love to go out and hang out with my friends. My best friend especially, stella, me and her have lots of fun together. I take care of my younger sibling
