Quick! Where do I go next?

 




          

           Hey lovelies! Welcome back! It's been a while since I've posted. A lot of things have progressed since then. Today I'll go a little deeper into how my music video thinking process looked like. 

          Heartbreak Anniversary did not come to my mind at all when I first thought of a song. Actually, I wanted to stray away from any songs that had to deal with relationships because I was not sure if I would be working with a group. I did not want to ask one of my guy friends to help be in my video since that would be completely awkward. I was at first thinking of a song that had more do with living a carefree teenage life, a song that would resemble how I feel more at the moment. 

         When first thinking about this music video, I felt a bit intimidated. My mind was thinking about being on camera and having to act. Having this be readily on my mind made me very nervous on how I would be able to pull this off. Luckily, I found a group I could work with and was great at directing a group and the scenes we would need. 

            My strong leadership skills made this project a lot easier for me. Being able to have a group who voices out their opinions and therefore being very easy to work with was also a bonus. I found myself coming up with ideas on what we should include and how it should be portrayed. I can definitely say I am happy with the group I am paired with. And it's a bonus that we all get along!

            Once I knew that I was going to work with a group, a little weight was lifted off my shoulders. Now it was time to pick a song. But what song? In my next blog I'll go in to more detail about our song options and what lead us to this song despite it not being my first option. 

            Well, bye for now! I'll catch up with you lovelies later! Stay fabulous!!

CCR Response

           Hey lovelies!! Here is my Critical Creative Reflection (CCR) for my music video. I hope you enjoy the breakdown and my thought process of my music video. Here goes! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UAiUV59Cq1nhyRPkcbASnOuiJq7cyfPqgJzNnNBVf_M/edit?usp=sharing How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? My music video challenges conventions by its use of typical music video conventions to make it look real. It includes pans, shoulder shots, two shots, three shots, medium shots, long shots, and black and white shots. These features are used in a specific way that adheres to the genre of my music video which was contemporary R&B. My music video also being a heartbreak video, there was a big use of over shoulder shots, two and long shots. The over the shoulder shots were able to show a connection between the characters and how they felt towards each other. The use of two shots helped to ...

Not my First Rodeo

Image
      Hey lovelies!   Let me spill the beans about my recent adventures in the world of filmmaking, specifically diving into the daunting task of crafting an opening sequence. Spoiler alert: it's been one heck of a ride, filled with ups, downs, and a whole lot of learning along the way.           So, picture this: I'm a newbie filmmaker, armed with a phone camera, an mission, and not much else. I'm all pumped up to tackle my first-ever opening sequence, thinking, "How hard could it be, right?" Well, let me tell you, it's like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded while riding a unicycle.      First off, there's the whole shebang of planning and storyboarding. Trying to map out a cohesive narrative that sets the tone for the entire project? Yeah, easier said than done. It's like trying to connect the dots when half of them are missing.      Then comes the filming part. You've got your actors, your locati...

What Did He Say??

       Hey lovelies!! Welcome back to my blog, today I am going to fill you in to what a classmate had to say about my film.   There has been lots of ups and downs this process of making an opening sequence. To be completely sure of our project, I wanted to get the opinions of my peers. I showed my project to a couple of my friends and this is what they had to say. 1. My acting could use a little work - I do not claim to be the best actress in the world. Neither did I want to be in the lead role but I had no option. There were parts of the film where my acting felt awkward to them. They advised that for the next film I go for a different role. This feedback was good for me to realize things I need to work on 2. The background music created suspense - When my group mate edited the video she included parts of the film where there would be music to complement the scene. The feedback I got was that they were able to understand the mood of the scenes when the music p...
