Research Blog: Music video conventions

 So going in to this project I had to do a little bit of research on some music. Most of the songs I listen to right now are not school appropriate and using the clean version will just sound really bad. So I had to search up clean songs already and just go through them one after the other. I found the song I wanted to because that was the song that I have been listening to since I was little, I just forgot about it. I picked it because the song has like a theme to it. In some of the pop music videos you watch they can have a theme to that to get the audience inserted in to watch the video. In pop music videos you ca see sometimes a theme develop in them that can be motivational. Or some of them there is no story to the video and its usually just people partying and having a good time. Also it could just be shots they take at the beach to them singing the song. Many different ways the artist will record their pop music video. But I want to have a theme or a backstory to my video that goes along with the music. Also in pop music videos the costumes usually change throughout the shots and usually some very colorful clothes. Sometimes in the inappropriate music videos they wear some inappropriate clothing but for this video we will have to keep everything school appropriate. Usually in the costumes the actors and singers are seen wearing lots of makeup so they can be all dressed up or its just for the part they are singing and dancing for. They always have to look their best. The lighting that is usually seen in music videos can be very bright to show off the outfits and bright colors. Also to make sure they can see the actors and the singer. In most of these music videos you can see many different shot angles taken in the video. They might have a close up of the singer of them singing the music they created. Or it might be a wide shot to get everyone dancing and having a great time or to even show where the shot is being taken. The sound that you can see being used might be gigantic or non-diegetic sound. This could be either the singer is singing or lip syncing.

Starting the Final Task

 I am Gavin Gonzalez, I am a junior at Fort Lauderdale Highschool. In this filming project I decided to work by myself for this project. I would rather depend on myself to get everything done. I can't rely on other kids to help me in this project. It's like a 50/50 chance you are taking. This person you can work with can be very controlling and take over the whole project which sucks. Or they never do anything and expect you to do it all. Or you might not be able to communicate with them. Also the people I could work with live too far for me to get there and I have no transportation. I wouldn't need anyone to work with when I have everything I need at home to do it. When working alone and not in a group you can voice your own ideas and no ne will shoot them down because you are working alone. That means the whole project is going to be your whole idea, how I am going to envision my project. But with working with no one there will be some negatives to that. You will not get ...

music video

 This project was definitely a different and new experience. There was a lot of new things I learned from this project. I learned how to add music to my video for the first time. Even though we basically had to have music in the video. It also was a much longer video that I was making and planning for which I thought was going to be harder but it really wasn't. It was like making any of the other videos I made. Just had to make sure I had a good plan and good schedule. With the storyboard it has changed because nobody had to lip sync to the song. I had enough video that if I added that it would have made the video too long. So I decided to cut that out of the video. Also the setting changes a little it wouldn't be in parents lake house I did it in the front yard and I also never had a shot in the garage. So plans do change not everything is set for the video I have learned from this project. This is one of the projects I have finally not procrastinated.  Which it feels good to...

Creative Critical Reflection Music Video

 Usually in pop music videos they are just being followed by the camera and singing. They usually have backup dancers to dance in sync. They are usually showing off the money how much money they have or the fancy cars they have. I didn't follow how those usual pop music videos look. I wanted to tell a story to this song. I wanted to have a theme behind the song for people to see. I wanted the video to be different or special not a normal pop song. Always good to be a little different. This video actually does cover some issues in the real world. That was basically the theme I was going for. It represents the issue of bullying and people just being brought down in life. This is for them to push through and don't listen to what they have to say. Like before it engages with the audience due to the theme. Engages with audience due to the story it is telling. People are drawn into see how the story unfolds. In this case the theme goes with bullying. So this video looks out for bully...
