My first music video - day 2!!

Hello my butterflies!

So today, I shot the second part to my music video for "I still believe in Fairy Tales." In the first scenes that we shot (the intro and verses), I'm supposed to be sad since I'm coming from a funeral and the scenes we shot today (the pre-choruses & choruses before the bridge) are supposed to show that I'm thinking that a better day will come. It shows that I'm not going to let that bad time change my outlook on life. I lost my grandma two years ago and she knew about my dream to become a singer, so I know she would have wanted me to be doing what I'm doing. It was hard to deal with and still is but I know she's proud of me and what I'm doing. The finished video will switch back and forth between those two scenes. You'll see what I mean when you see the video!

We shot in two locations in New Jersey. We decided to do it in two locations so that the director would have more of a variety in choosing scenes. The locations were really nice, which made it easy to smile and show more happiness in my performance. As you'll see in the video, I was wearing a tank top and jeans. On the day we shot, the temperature was barely over 60 degrees! I actually had two tank tops layered under it to keep me warm. Surprisingly, I wasn't too cold until the end. I guess the multiple tank tops worked! Also, there were a lot of bugs. Luckily, there weren't the kind that bite (I don't think so anyway...!), so it was ok.

Shooting these scenes was so much fun. I have a really good feeling about it so I'm excited to see how it turns out. Now, we only have one more scene to shoot! I'm so excited to shoot the last part, and I can't wait for everyone to see the finished product!
