Lyrics:

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk

I'm a woman's man: no time to talk

Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around

Since I was born

And now it's all right, it's OK

And you may look the other way

We can try to understand

The New York Times' effect on man

Yeah, Nick and Alex totally worked great together! 

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother

You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'

And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive

Well now, I get low and I get high

And if I can't get either, I really try

Got the wings of heaven on my shoes

I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose

You know it's all right, it's ok

I'll live to see another day

We can try to understand

The New York Times' effect on man

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother

You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'

And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me yeah

Me and Alex hanging out

Our team is doing Stayin' Alive by the BeeGees. This is an 70's song, so its one of the oldies! Whoo-hoo! Our storyline is about a girl, (me) who was walking in the park with her friends, Nick and Alex, when she sees a tree, and she wants to climb it. Her friends try to convince her that she should not do it, because it is dangerous. She listens but decided to do it anyway. Her friends are very worried about her, but she prevails. She climbs the tree, and comes down easily, and her friends are relived that she was alive. This is related to our song lyrics. I am overcoming my fears, do something I would not normally do, and still stay alive!!! So, our lyrics definitely match our storyline.

Nick enjoying the tree

Our fast edit montage is going illustrate the struggle between me and my friends. What I'm talking about is when I want to climb the tree, and my friends don't want me to. What it will be is one shot me climbing the tree, one shot of Nick worried, me climbing the tree, Alex worried, me climbing the tree and then my excited face. This is showing that I am climbing while my friends are worried and then I am on the top and I am staying alive! This is will probably not be quite as fast paced as I would like, but it will probably between 1-3 seconds each shot. Another shorter, faster, and quite better fast edit montage is at the very end of our music video. It is about me thinking back to what happened that day. There is one shot of me that we green screened and put on a red background, thinking, then there will be one shot of Nick worried, one of Alex worried, one of me climbing, one of Alex and Nick relived, and me happy, and me going, "Well, it all worked out good". I think this is nice end to our music video.

Alex "acting" (like a dog)

This project definitely showcases our best talents. Our filming showcases our filming skills, which if their good, their music video will turn out good.  If your stuff, is well, not as good, then you might want to re-film. Our lip sync, well I guess that showcases our practicing skills? Because if it's not good, you obviously didn't practice. Our editing definitely showcases our editing techniques. Also, how good you can maneuver in imovie definitely shows. If your good, your music video will have transitions, green screened stuff, and more! Plus our psds for our bloopers and intro graphic showcase our acuteness in Photoshop.
