Research blog: Music Video Conventions

 The song I am using for the music video is called Halfway There. The song is in the Pop genre and it is sung by a boy band. The characters in the music video will be me and it will feature some of my family. The video will be an uplifting video with a positive message. We will act out giving each other words of encouragement and show that we have each other's back. I am going to be outside, with natural, and it is going to take place when it is sunny outside. It is going to be nice weather and it is going to be bright when I film in the house. The props I would use would just be normal things I find laying around. I would use normal everyday things. As I've previously stated, the theme of the music video is going to be very optimistic. At the start of the song, the singer isn't hopeful about succeeding and explains how little they've reached their goal. After that first section, then the hook of the song comes in. The hook brings reassurance and togetherness. So I plan to maybe start the song off with some melancholy expressions and actions. Just begin the video with a negative vibe and an off demeanor to express the disappointment, and lack of confidence. Then I will showcase the change in attitude, and the inclusion of everyone to boost up the main actor's energy. I am going to make it seem like we are having a party. A party to celebrate how far we've come, and how close we are to our goal. It will be a bonding experience to encourage us and remind us to never give up. Music videos from the pop genre are much like their songs, upbeat and full of life. I want to portray a good time in the music video while staying true to the song's message.

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 ...

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...

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 ...
