  In the end the music video came out a success. My friends and fellow people that helped to make my idea come to life we’re very excited to see the final product. I did end up filming at a boutique instead of the mall with the permission of my boss who owns the store. She believed it was a great idea. I came in early so that I could shoot before people started to come in. Then I went home and edited it on iMovie afterward. The people that really helped out the most were my mom and my step dad. I was very stressed the first time I recorded and got it wrong. With help I ended up making a great video. I did like the outcome better and it was easier to film since there were no costumers. 

 Today I went back to the mall. I redid all the shots. First we went to Macy’s. This is where I originally planned to shoot my video. I took an establishing shot here. Or maybe about three. Then I decided that’s not where I wanted to film. We walked around the mall and went inside the vans store. I bought a cute pair of sneakers. Then we found the cutest boutique inside galleria. It was very fancy. It caught my moms eye first because of the sitting area they had outside the door. It was very big and had such cute clothes. I went inside and asked if the fitting rooms were open and if it was ok to film in here. She said yes to both. We went and shopped around a little and when I found what I liked I went into the fitting room. The area was huge and super cute. There were tons of mirrors and inside the actual room to get dressed was a lot of space. They even fit a sitting area in each room. We filmed everything and left right before the mall closed. We were sitting in the car and I was lo

 Today was supposed to be my second day filming. However, it was my first. Last time I was supposed to go I couldn’t make it there. Today after school I went to work. I worked a normal 3-5. Then I went home and began to paint. I haven’t felt very motivated lately so that was a surprise. I waited for my mom to get home from work. Afterward we got ready to go to the mall. My brother decided to come with us. Which was very suspicious since he never wants to leave his room. My mom asked what my plan was. I told her all about it then showed her my storyboard. She thought the video would be nice if I could pull it off. In the car I played the songs for my mom and brother. My brother already knew one of them since it had blown up on tik tok. I tried to tell him the other Madonna song was in Stranger Things but he said he’s never seen the show. Since it was already late when we got there we couldn’t film anything outside. We went inside and filmed some shots. We couldn’t stay for very long to

 Today the plan was to go to the mall today to get my shots. I was going to film all of my mall scenes. I was actually very excited to see if I could get it the way I wanted it to be. I was disappointed that I couldn't go today. After school I had work. I went in from 2-5. Although I was supposed to leave at 6. My mom was supposed to take me to the mall when she got out of work. How ever when I was trying to get ahold of her she didn't answer my calls. When I got home I waited. When she came home I gave her time to relax. Then I asked about the mall. She told me it was already late and she had to do laundry. I asked if we could try again tomorrow. If I have to use my backup plan of going to where at work to record instead of the mall ill have to ask my boss soon. Then I'll be able to film the same things. But this would be in a smaller area. Not a big area, how I wanted it to be, like the mall. We grabbed our stuff and went to do our laundry. Sadly my plans didn't go th

 Today was my first day of filming. I couldn't go to the mall today but I got my shots that I did outside the mall. My brother helped me to film some of it. Like clips where the actor walks to the car. That was really I could get done with hi since pretty much the whole video is based in the mall or parking lot. He really likes my song choice since it's very popular on tik tok. He thinks my video will come out great. I got to film the first scene. I went around to different people I knew. Including friends and peers. I told them to repeat after me. I got videos of so many people saying "material girl". It was really fun and funny since people added their own twist. Since the song is popular they already knew how it is said in the song and tried to copy that. It was hard to choose which video I was going to use. Then I finally come to a decision of one that I was really pleased with. I then went to the people that were in the video and asked them if it was okay for me

 First Scene - In this scene it's supposed to be something funny to let the audience know how much the song is enjoyed by others and can be a way of interaction. Relating to a song can make conversation quickly and may even brighten someone's day to sing along.  Second Scene - This scene is really just an introduction scene. Showing the title on it and starting the video off with a girl walking into her car.  Third Scene- This scene is where the music will start and the story will really begin. It shows a man in the drivers seat getting ready to drive a girl around.  Fourth Scene- After the ride it will show a pov shot of the girl turning the music down. This shows the transition of the locations. It will also be the start of the transition in music.  Fifth Scene- In a way this scene is a duplicate of scene two without the tile. However the mashup starts and will be a new location  Sixth Scene- This scene is the beginning of the new location. It shows a girl walking into a mal
