Intro to New Music Video Project

  The class is transitioning from the completed commercial to our new project a Music Video. From my completed commercial I learned a lot that I think I can help with the music video now. Things I did good on my commercial was the editing, for my commercial it was the make it or break it. I gained lots of knowledge on the editing from Mrs Merchonie and Mr katz but I have a very comfortable grasp on it and I feel I can use it on the music video. However, something I didn’t do well was the fact I chose to be alone for the project. It made it considerably difficult to film what I needed and get all the variations in the the angles while also being the actor. I’ve learned from that because now I’m in a group and so far it’s going relatively good. So I am confident the music video will go smoothly now that I understand how things work.
   My group chose the do a song by the artist J. Cole the song is “Lost Ones” which is about a relationship breaking due to not taking responsibility of actions and changing what you promised because of an event. The genre is love rap or storytelling. The conventions of this type of song is the aspect of set up usually has a male and female actor in a relatable setting. The the aspect of sound the music can vary in tone but usually plays the story of the actors and explains there relationship. The aspect of common angles are usually either low or level angles, I see common use if tracking and pans and sometimes POV.
1. C- Common costumes are usual modern attire. The popular clothing of the time kinda giving of the actors living a normal life.
2. L- Common natural or three-point lighting. I don’t see lots of over lighting or bright lighting unless it is a transition shot.
3. A- Actors are commonly celebrities and the artist themselves. Used this way to make the song stand  out more and make them more popular to the viewer
4. M- Make-up is more blemishing to make actors stand out on camera but nothing out of the ordinary. The make-up shouldn’t deprive the fact of them being “common people”
5. P- Props aren’t very common it is usually just a random object to make sense in the setting. So if they are outside they would be with a purse or in the kitchen a knife or cup.
6. S- Scenes range as well but the most common is inside a home or home facility. Also area someone would be on a date like dinner or a movie theater
