  Props: Since we chose the song Material Girl, we plan to display a young girl living a lavish lifestyle. To portray this, we plan to use fake money, sunglasses, and a feather boa as our props.  Costumes: In our video, we will have one main subject, our material girl, with others playing supporting roles. For the material girl, they would be dressed up in long gloves, fake pearls, and a nice long dress, preferably pink. To fit the stereotype of a gold-digger, they would also wear a blonde wig, a feather boa, and expensive looking sunglasses. The actress would have on light makeup, with the most bold part being some red lipstick.  For the lower class boys, we would have them dress in casual clothing, such as jeans and a hoodie. Any lower class girls would dress in similar casual clothing but may wear skirts, short dresses, or shorts as well. On the other hand, the boys playing the upper class roles, they would dress in formal attire. This would include a white dress shirt and a suit of

 My group ultimately decided on the song Material Girl by Madonna. The genre is pop, and it specifically was a viral pop hit of the 80s.  BACKDROPS AND LIGHTING: In a pop video, there is typically a connection between the lyrics and the images, as well as a performance by the artist, to help the audience remember the performer and the song. Pop videos are typically colorful and vibrant with regard to lighting because the audience finds them to be aesthetically pleasing. Pop videos frequently have themes with vivid and striking colors. 1) In this specific video, this is seen in the vibrant red backdrop, Madonna's bright pink dress, shiny jewelry, and bright chandeliers.  - We also see colorful backdrops in music videos such as the song  2) Fergalicious by Fergie. Here, we see the variety of colors in the outfits and candy-inspired background. 3) 7 rings- Ariana Grande. Here we see a variety of bright pink neon lights illuminating the video.  COSTUMES: Additionally, fashion is up-to-

For this next project, we decided to keep our same group from the commercial, with the exception of one additional member. At the beginning of our commercial journey, we anticipated having Kyra in our group along with Hailey and Alessandra. However, since she was also occupied with the intensity of mock trial, the team decided on an alternative that was less stressful on her behalf. This time around, however, I am glad that she is going to collaborate with us on this project. Our original group worked very well together on the commercial; our team dynamic was very efficient and productive. Since I am accustomed to working independently on academic matters, there are times when I find it challenging to collaborate with others on projects. I prefer to remain in responsibility and don't particularly like depending on other people. On the other hand, I've known the members of my group for a long . Knowing their work ethic, I feel confident in their ability to be effective.  I hav

  I am beyond excited to be back to work on my second project for this course. After filming the commercial, I think I am starting to get the hang of filming a project and believe things should go much smoother the second time around. Before we get started, let me reintroduce myself.  My name is Isabel Reyes, I'm from Fort Lauderdale High School, and I'm in the tenth grade. Academically, I consider myself to be a responsible learner who works hard and achieves success. I've always been quite well-rounded, so I had a hard time selecting what I wanted to do in my life.  It was just recently when I discovered I have a liking for the legal field, especially since it is such a diverse field. I am apart of my schools Pre-Law magnet, and I also participate in school activities, such as debate and the Spanish Honor Society. I am also a competitive salsa dancer, which comes very helpful when I need to destress from school. Growing up in a Spanish-speaking family has given me a lot o
