Intro to New Project Blog

      Recently, I filmed and edited a Starbucks commercial. I did enjoy filming it, and the outcome was not too substandard. Although, I do feel it could have been better. I submitted the commercial earlier this week. I believe that the commercial would have been better if my partner and I were more comfortable with each other, and if my group consisted of more than just my partner and I. Additionally, my partner and I did not quite get along well, therefore I decided to work with a new group for this new project. My new project is to make a music video. I feel prepared this time around with filming, but I am still a bit rocky when it come to editing on Pinnacle Studios. While filming my commercial, I learned how to do different camera movements, shots and angles. I learne how to do a long shot, high angle, medium shot, two-shot, zoom, and how to add score. In this new  music video project, I will make sure to keep in mind the techniques I learned since the commercial to effectively apply them.
      The song my group and I chose was "The Lazy Song", by Bruno Mars. It will be a clean version of the song so it is school appropriate. I recommended this song to my group and they all agreed. We will start from 1:57 into the music video and end at 3:03. This is because the minimum is 1:05 seconds and the maximum is 1:15 seconds. One good thing about this song is that it has lyrics that are easy to act out. This limits confusion on what to do in specific parts of the song. This song is a fun, upbeat song that highlights how many people feel when they are tired and do not want to do anything. The fact that the song relates to the audience makes the song more interesting. I am super excited to film this music video!

      A music genre is a conventional category that identifies some pieces of music as belonging to a shared tradition or set of conventions. Music can be divided into different genres in many different ways. The artistic nature of music means that these classifications are often subjective and controversial, and some genres may overlap. The camera angle we would use in the music video will be a high angle. The camera shots and movements would include pans, tilts, variants of medium to close up shots, wide shots, and long shots. The sound would be a score and sound bridge. The editing process would include fade in and out, insert, and cross cutting. 1. Costumes: Birthday suit but formal clothing. 2. Lightning: Dim, to set the mood of being lazy. 3. Actors: Everyone in our group (Lesly, Jazmin, and Brit). 4. Makeup: None. 5. Props: Phone, gaming controller, TV remote, paper, and hair comb. 6. Setting: In a house.
