We successfully did all our filming in the span of two days! We did all Cardi B footage one day, and all Bruno footage the next. We first went to Fort Lauderdale Collections where we picked out a car to film for the beginning of the song. We chose to go with the Porsche because the beginning of the song say "Drop-top Porsche". I made sure I had jewelry on because the whole point of the song was about drippin' and finesse of wealth. The next line said "Rollie on my wrist, diamonds up and down my chains." So best believe, I had my watch (may not have been a Rolex) and two chains on. Because the song is so upbeat, i was dancing and posing around the car while mouthing the words. There was many other exotic cars there. However, we had to do the most relevant to our song. After the car place, we made our way to the beach by Las Olas. I mostly had my videos, in the road. This was difficult because i would have to wait until all the cars left in order to film in the street. Anybody that has been to the beach would know that the beach streets are very busy, especially by Las Olas. The road is where I let loose and busted out the dance moves. It was honestly a fun and great feeling. We also went to the restaurant Bubba Gump to do my "Like Aye" moments. Each scene either faded or jumped directly into the other.
 Then the next day I had to film my partner scene. His was pretty basic because he don't have the moves the Jagger like me. He filmed both at the beach and exotic car store like me. His part was most on the romantic side than Cardi B so he used me as a prop at times. He ended his scene with a sassy end by walking away from the Porsche. This showed a lack of worries.
The fact that we had finished filming on Thursday and the project was due the end of class on Friday, I had no choice but to work on it when I got home. It would be nearly impossible to finish all the editing in school. So i did all the editing at home on iMovie on my phone. Then when I got to school, I had to do nothing but add the song to the video and turn it in. For a music video that was pretty last minute, it looked really good. I'm glad i decided to edit it at home or who know how the video would've turned out.

So this thanksgiving break was a total non-success. As far as the filming goes, not the food of course. This thanksgiving break, I went out of town to South Carolina to visit my dad side of the family. Although i had a great time, I was unable to film with my partner back in Florida. The week before my partner was at a college visit. So filming has been all over the place. I've been unable to go after-school because I have basketball games. Even today, I have an away basketball game. Therefore tom we plan on completing our video filming. It will be a lot of ripping and running so hopefully, i wont miss practice. We still have to film the part where we walk down Las Olas and dancing at the beach.
Hopefully the video will come out as expected. We don't have a lot of time so we need to make sure we like the videos we film because there may not be another chance to retake them. These next couple of days will be crucial. It will be my main priority because I have yet failed anything in this class. And I don't plan on starting now. I have my props ready and outfit ready to go. I was thinking about maybe adding fur for the next couple of film to fully show off the wealth. But again, it is short notice for a project that's due Friday. I got the fake money if nothing else plans out right.
If all goes well, then this will be one to catch. I try to make the video as real yet fun to the audience therefore I put myself in their shoes. What I mean by that is, when I watch the video and I don't start dancing or feel some type of emotion rather its happy and sad (based on the message) then the video is not that good.
I don't have a lot of time to edit so my goal is to at least make sure my transitions and timing of the music video is smooth. This is very essential to a video so the other things can hold. For example, you wouldn't add effects before you make sure the right scenes goes with the right footage. Hopefully it also don't rain because then we would have to film inside. In that case I believe the most appropriate place to to film would be the mall inside a high-end store. Try not to get off topic because we still have to show wealth. This image looks really good in my head, now its just time to make it a reality.
