two locations down

 Hello everyone and welcome back! i've been very busy lately. More filming was done this week, so we're almost done. One of the places we were going to film was a cafe. It took two tries to find one that would let us film though. The first place we tried was actually my workplace and they didn't let us. Was messed up right? I get it though, my cafe is very busy and people may get in the shots that don't want to be in them. It's all about consent and everything. But, the place we filmed was better than my cafe. A lot quieter and it has different rooms, so we just stuck to one place. We of course asked for permission and got food. I had the best latte ever also. Will definitely be back again for more. The scenes were done pretty smoothly, except that one waiter got in the shot. It was okay though and they apologized profusely. Was a little awkward, but it was pretty funny. After the cafe scenes were done the group went to a mall near by. When filming there the group had to be very careful. The scene we wanted to film was one of the actress stealing, but of course not actually stealing. We had to do the scene several times though because people kept walking by. The workers were staring at us also. When we walked to a different aisle a worker followed us. The group decided we had to stop filming or risk getting kicked out. All of us go to that mall a lot, so no one wanted to risk getting banned. I think we got everything done that we needed to though. So, till next time. Bye, Bye!

Props within the Film

 Hi guys, welcome back! So, for the film there was a lot props involved. Some the props that were used needed safety measures. Car keys were used in one of the scenes, these keys were Natalia's dad's. There was fake blood that was also used. I had to be very careful with the fake blood because it would stain clothes. Omnia (the main actress), had to have it on her back. The blood would've stained her shirt, so I gave her my wet shirt. It didn't end up staining the shirt. I can't say the same for my hands though. They were stained for around 3 days with the fake blood. There was also a scare that the fake blood would cement surrounding the pool. It did for a second, but with enough water poured onto it, it was fine. The biggest safety measure that was taken for real kitchen knife that was used. There was a safety kit that was on hand. Natalia's  dad was also home when the scene was being shot. So, if anything ended up happening it would've gotten quickly take

 The music video challenges a few conventions of music video's.  In most music videos an actor or the singer is lip syncing most of the lyrics. In the music video there's only one scene of lip syncing.  The music video was about friendship. Most music videos are about relationships. There wasn’t any throw away scenes just to take up a lot of time. There wasn’t a lot of cutting between scenes.  The music video used a lot of convections also. A lot of stereotypes were used purposefully, which does represent social groups and issues. Bullying was addressed in the music video. The mean girl wasn't a white girl in the music, it was an Africa American girl.  The music video engages with audiences because it’s relatable. A lot of teens deal with bullying. People also tend to choose to surround themselves with the wrong people. For most people it takes being wronged by the person again and again to let them go. A lot of people atleast have one friend that doesn’t like another frien
