 due to further discussion in class we've changed , our location list, costumes, and props have changed. Props are now connected  around school activities, home life and hobbies, such as paper, bookbags, art supplies, wri ting utensils, and video games. Our location list is a local road and the actors’  homes  and our costumes are casual wear.  Our backup plan will be using a different phone and/or filming at another available  house( for example, an aunt’s house).    Song Used- Apparently By  J.Cole   Slide One- A wide shot of the two actors(students) walking away from school together.    Slide Two-  A medium  close up  of the students looking at their phone in surprise. They realize they need to head home and  starting working .    Slide Three- A wide shot of the students walking in opposite directions.    Slide Four- A split screen (SS)  of the front doors of the students’ homes. They walk into their houses.    Slide Five- SS of students dropping their bags, looking tired.    Sl

  Props- Our group went with a  storyline that focuses on aspects of black  culture ( specifically in A frica and America ). Props will include things like  -school   bags -books -sketchbooks or any other indicators of a hobby and  objects related to hair, like combs, picks, and  durags .  We have chosen songs that have both  aspects of  Traditional  African and  African American  culture. So,  overall,  you will  be seeing  the different parts of Black culture.    Costumes---- In our music video, the style will revolve around trends in black culture. This includes  -turbans -headwraps  -natural hair being  shown -  streetwear  items. There is no need for specific clothing since this is a more casual se tting.  The setting and the costumes will fit in with the storyline of the song we have chosen.   Schedule----     11/16/21- Our group will plan all needed elements for a successful video   11/19/21- Our group will create the storyboard for our 1 minute and 15 second music video.   11/2
