We are saying goodbye to making our commercial and hello to making a music video. The whole class got done with making the commercials last class; November 12th. Something that worked when we made the commercial was storyboarding. Storyboarding made it so clear as to what shots we had to do and how they would look. It helped a lot with saving time because we knew what shots and angles to do without having to think about it. It also helped us save time from not having to take second shots. If we didn’t storyboard we would have to try different angles & get input from other group members which could cause conflict. What didn’t work when my group did the commercial was some aspects of technology. When we first started the editing process the computer we tried to use was not bringing up our footage or it was very slow. Fortunately, we were able to use laptops but the first time we got it, it was too late to start editing. We ended up having to use our phones and the software iMovie. The commercial was a great experience into the world or media & filming things.
Today my group is figuring out a song to do. We have contemplated a few different ones and I think we’re just going to stick with a song from the early 2000s to the recent years. We don’t wanna do an older song from the 80s and below because I feel like it would be too hard to replicate clothing that was worn in that era. The song we’re using is called “Young, dumb and broke”. This is sung be someone named Khalid Robinson. He was born on February 11th, 1998. His debut album ‘American Teen’ was released on March 3,2017. It ended up to number 9 on the U.S. charts. We chose this song because were all in high school so we can relate to the song 100%. We’re all young cause we’re only 16 or 17. We’re dumb because kids always make mistakes and we’re broke because well, I don’t think I need to explain that one.
1. The costumes we will be using are just normal everyday attire for the average teen. We want to try and make the clothing as related to the song as possible. So wearing fancy clothing would contradict the whole video. Average clothing consists on hoodies, redshirts, shorts & jeans.
2. We will be using natural light from wherever we film. We don’t be bringing in any special lighting because the music video is supposed to be fairly average.
3. Our actors will be the three people in thw group. We might add some extra people depending on what the scene is. We want to create that sense of socialization in the video.
4. Makeup will not be anything crazy whatsoever. Whoever wears makeup if any will be natural because we want the audience to be able to relate to it.
5. Some props that we will be using is for sure a car and money. We’re not sure what other props we will be using right now but we know it won’t be any that doesn’t relate to the song or high school students. We might use food as well just to show that we’re having a good time.
6. We’re going to have various settings in the music video because we don’t want to keep filming at the same place due to the worry that it will get boring. We wanna show that teens are always on the move and having fun.
For sound we will be using the song that we chose. We make sure that the song was the clean version cause this project is for school so there’s obviously no cursing allowed. We don’t be adding in any other sound like sound affects or dialogue just because we want to strictly keep it to the song.
The music video is going to consist of many different camera angles because we want to keep variety in the video. We’re going to try and use tilts, pans, Dutch shots, medium, medium close up, and tracking shots. We’re going to be editing using Pinnacle Studios this time we make the music video. . Last time when we make the commercial we were having technical difficulties and weren’t able to use pinnacle studios. We had to use iMovie instead.
