Planning for my Music Video

 The song I chose for my music video, Halfway There, gives off a very positive message. So I wanted the music video to give off happy vibes and portray the message. I plan to record the music video outside while I'm on my trip. Anywhere I go with my family, I can ask if we can stop and record us having fun and giving off good, positive vibes to express the message. I also want to include my family in the music video to really give off the "I have your back" and "We're in this together." I don't have any specific props in mind, but whatever I happen to use in the music video will be considered a prop. The costumes are really just going to be basic everyday clothing that shows that we're comfortable with who we are. I think I would want to have our clothes progressively get better, and be more appealing. This will show growth since the song is about gradually reaching towards our goals.

I would like the schedule of the whole process to go something like this:

On 11/15/20, I research the conventions of homemade music videos.

On 11/15/20, I establish the costumes, schedule, possible locations, possible props, and backup plan.

On 11/17/20 I will create the storyboard for the commercial.

On days 11/19/20 - 11/29/20, I will film the video. These dates may change due to how many clips I need. Filming the video should not take too long, so I will only talk a couple of days out of this timeframe.

On 12/2/20, I will edit the music video to the best of my ability.

By 12/3/20, the music video will be complete and ready for submission.

I might be unable to record freely due to COVID-19, because I do not want to include me wearing a mask in the video. The music video is supposed to show us being happy and comfortable, and the viewers can't see our smiles and laughs while we're wearing masks. Also, wearing a mask does not show us in our comfort zone. If I am unable to create the vibe I would like, I will just record in my family's house or neighborhood. This will show me being in an environment I am not yet used to but will adapt to and become comfortable with. This will also give off the "we're halfway there" essence. When moving towards your goals, you are going to be in situations you aren't comfortable with, but you will have to work through those tough times to achieve said goals.

My Music Video

Image
  Filming this music video was somewhat complicated. Procrastination and my being shy played a big part in the delay of filming. From the beginning of the process of making this music video, I already had a plan. The song "Halfway There" came to me because it was stuck in my head. I thought it would be the perfect song to use due to its positive message, and the fact that it is school appropriate as well. In my music video, I did my best to give off an optimistic vibe in the video, but it was somewhat difficult. When it came down to filming the video, my cousin, my sister, and I worked as a team to obtain quality footage for the music video. In some parts of the video, the ecstasy was forced because we are not overly happy people. On the other hand, we did have some genuine moments of fun for other parts of the music video. The quality, the outfits how I planned them, the interaction, the acting, and the editing of the video are the things I am most proud of. The aspect I am ...

Genre Research: Horror

 This PowerPoint is a project I was instructed to do that is based on the horror genre. I worked on this PowerPoint in the beginning of the year with another student. We were asked to pick a genre from a list of other genres, and research it. Our research consisted of common lighting, camera angles, movements, Mise-En-Scene, elements of horror, example films, common sounds and what we like and dislike about the genre. I have noticed that this PowerPoint has been altered because the slide where I explained my dislikes about the genre is missing. Since this assignment didn't involve meeting in person, it was quite simple to complete. My partner and I split the amount of slides somewhat evenly, which means we each had a responsibility to finish our part of the project. I did the slides that involved videos, the Mise-En-Scene, the common angles and my dislikes about the genre. My partner did the common lighting, elements, film examples, and the likes about the genre. I knew how to add ...

Planning Storyboard for my Music Video

Image
 This storyboard represents how I would like the process of filming the music video for the song Halfway There. I will try to meet my own expectations and hope everyone follows through with my ideas. The first box is what I need to do in order to begin the filming process, which is to go to North Carolina to be with my family. The second one is how I will approach the idea of including my cousin and family in the video. I will then make sure they are ok with being on camera, and part of the music video. This is a very important part of the project because this could make or break it. The third one represents us planning which days to record the clips for the music video. The fourth one represents another important part of the filming process, the weather. The weather has to be what we desire it to be to even record. The plan is for it to be sunny outside to symbolize happiness. The fifth one represents us picking basic outfits to wear for the music video and props that people use e...
