Welcome back! This is the CCR to the music video that was just published by my partner and I. We wanted to go against the conventions of traditional music videos by telling a story about someone's struggle with their mental health, a topic which is not often put to use in most music videos.. The music video portrays this topic by telling a story of a boy who after goes looking for his friends who is eventually shown as not real. And after searching, the man eventually finds them again, which then proves the fact that the man is not taking care of his mental health since he is just feeding into his own delusions and not taking any action for it. This represents the struggle of men's mental health in the modern society of today. There is not a lot of help towards men and their mental...

 Welcome back bloggers! We're finally putting the finishing touches on the music video and getting everything all done. We filmed on saturday and got our last scene touches done today. The editing is going well and it looks pretty cool honestly. It turned out just like we wanted it to. This whole experience is cool since we got to find new skills to try and teach ourselves. The techniques were interesting and it was cool seeing it all put together and in one. Right now we are doing a shot where one person appears in the shot multiple times at the same time. I think it's a really cool addition to our video because it shows us being more advanced. It also adds a really cool effect to it and can really confuse the viewer as to how we did it. It is a shot that is used in many big movies and tv shows but nobody can really figure out how to do it. That's why we decided to it ourselves. And it turned out really good and to our liking. Another cool shot that we did was showing a pe...

 Welcome back bloggers! We continued to film and get our scenes all figured out. It was still pretty hard to get together because of all of our activities and extracurricular. So we had to find a way around all of it, like finding the right days and times. The filming itself went well though, we had no problem with the shots and barely any difficulties have been in the way so far. The shots that we've gotten include a lot of editing. So putting them together is hard to do as we film so we decided to wait until the filming was all done so we put them together afterwards. Since we decided to do some really advanced editing shots we have to make many different shots to turn into one. It was a little confusing at first but after awhile you get the hang of it. And what I mean by that is knowing what to film, where to stand while filming, and the right time to film and where to cut and start. So the whole thing is just trying to know when the right times are. We are still trying to figur...
