Music Video Blog

 


First and for most, let me start off by saying how much I enjoyed working on this video. I was surprised about the outcome of all this since I didn't know how to go about this project at first. In the beginning, I struggled to form a proper story that goes along with the song I selected. At times I contemplated about changing the song to make a more easier story. However, soon enough I resented the idea of giving up on the song, "So Much Fun," because deep down I knew it can be done. This belief alone carried me through all my ideas and attempts for a creative story. As a result, my story soon came to me. My goal was to create a music video that would entertain the audience through comedy. Thus, a wacky adventure was be perfect as the plot.  More specifically, my story correlates with the title of the song because the main character experiences a bizarre dream that's enjoyable for the audience. In short summary, the music video consist of a young boy coming home to rest on his couch. However, before he gets comfy, an alert comes from his phone with a message that talks about a crazy lunatic on the loose. So, as our main character drifts asleep after seeing the disturbing post, he spawns into a scenario where he must defeat the crazy guy in order to save the hostage that he has captured. I must say from peer review, the video is most enjoyable to watch. Therefore, I am most excited to share my project with Cambridge. I hope to further my understanding of filming and directing in the future. With that being said I'm grateful for this time I have now to practice my skills as a media student. Also, acting just might be something I consider, with the practice from future projects to come.

Editing Blog: 1 minute Dilemma

Image
 Ever since I finished filming, I couldn't wait to start editing my music video. Many ideas ran across my mind about how I should go about this process. Most of my focus was towards what edits can I possibly incorporate into my project that would make it entertaining. This consisted of transitions, filters, effects, and more. To start off, my first move was to position each scene in order to see what it would look like at it's base form. Upon further review I noticed that the video was about a minute and 25 seconds long. In all honesty, I didn't expect it to go that far beyond the time limit, but never the less, I had to fix this problem immediately before I could include anything else. So, after rewatching my video over and over again, I made small cuts throughout each scene. Majority of these cuts were shots that weren't meant to be included. However, other smaller shots were discarded from the project because they made the scene unnecessarily long. Soon enough, I bro...

 First scene- For the opening of my commercial, an athlete/actor will be dressed up in their track uniform. This will show the audience what team this commercial will be about. The actor will proceed to show off the jersey by tugging it from both sides. This should pop the logo in and out to attract the viewers attention. Also, the athlete will give a smug smile to the camera just to show how confident they're towards wearing the jersey. Second scene- The next scene will be another shot of a solo athlete in uniform while wearing medals. They will flex their biceps as a sign of showing their always winning. This will give the audience an idea of how talented Fort Lauderdale's track team really is. And to top it off, the actor will have a boastful expression on their face.  Third scene- The last solo shot will once again be an athlete in uniform. However, they will give a flying L sign towards the camera for representation. I also added a head nod for good measure.  Each of...

artofthetitles.com 1) In the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 opening scene all of  the main actors of the film are displayed first as chaos plays out. soon after the actors are mentioned, the executive producer, director, writers, and others who worked on the film are displayed throughout the scene. 2&3) We see all the guardians from the previous movie face off against an intergalactic monster to start off the movie. this displays that intense level of action the audience has been waiting for since the first release of guardians of the galaxy. weapons, explosions, and swords are all being used to the creature down but, the guardians are still getting handled in the process. this makes it all the more funny in the process. 4)      Baby Groot, mischievous and distracted in his own world, dances to music from Star-Lord’s second mixtape while the Guardians throw down in the background, out of focus. The focus on Groot instead of the main action is the first comedic thrust ...
