Introduction to the music video project

For the music video I have decided to work alone. Various factors have led me to this conclusion. The first being that I am very independent. I take pride in the work that I do and working alone gives me the great feeling of having accomplished something amazing. On some of the last projects I admit that I did not do my best work. From time to time I have difficulties making adjustments. This is simply because of my past. This is no excuse and I vow to become more focused and do the best I can to be successful. The song I chose is Sunday’s Best by Surfaces. This song perfectly matches my situation. It is an inspirational song that talks about how it is ok to fall down and get back up. It is a comforting song, like that extra pat on the back. The song reassures you that everything will be fine. The song is very catchy and upbeat. These are conventions for happy songs. With the song having these conventions it is very easy to get stuck in your head. That can be a good thing. You may continue to sing it and you will continue to get the encouraging message. Also, people may observe your behavior and notice that you are humming often or singing, they may then ask what it is that you are singing. This could then be accommodating to the next person. You never know how much the little things really help someone.

Incorporating Perspective

Image
  Perspective is the way you see something. With this being said, everyone has their own perspective. People interpret things differently than each other. An example of this would be the famous saying,” Is the glass half empty or half full?” This is asking how someone perceives life. If the person sees the glass as half full they look at things positively, if they see it as half empty they look at things negatively. The catch to this is there is a set amount of water and both answers are right it just identifies your perspective. Perspective is often used in films of all genres. This enhances the film and expresses many different feelings. When you see the inside of someone's head in cartoons or flashbacks in movies, that is perspective. In my film I have decided to take on the challenge of including perspective in my opening sequence. You will be able to hear what the main character is thinking. This will be difficult to portray but that’s why you study and learn the material you

Filming Techniques for my Music Video

Image
  During the filming of my music video I experience something totally different than with the last two projects. This filming process was organized into three different parts. It is because of the multiple settings that I separated it this way. The first section is the beginning of the video. In the beginning we start off in the park. These scenes weren’t too difficult to film. Except for some issues with lighting. I had to find a way to get a good angle and still have the background I want. This took some time. Also, since this is the first few scenes I was still figuring out how I wanted to do the filming. As far as setting up the camera. Since I am in the video this was especially hard. I found that a good solution would be using a stand, kind of like a tripod, and a timer. This allowed me to start the camera then get in place. I was contemplating whether to just make one long video and then separate it in the editing section. This would actually require more editing than to ju

Planning my Starburst commercial

Image
        For my Starburst commercial I will be using a variety of props. I will be using a pack of Starburst, a pack of Starburst minis, and a light box. Due to all the things going on in the world right now, my resources are limited. With this being said, I will be using prior knowledge to create my own light bow. This is very important because It brings attention to the item you want. I will also be using a box of some form to decorate. This will be the setting. During scenes it will be changed so that it can fit both settings. The box will consist of construction paper, grass, people like figures, and toy cars. My commercial will be filmed with a miniature world that is meant to look like the real world. One the candy is eaten it will transform into a parallel universe. Everyone knows that things don't always go as planned. Therefore you should always have a backup plan. My backup plan really differs from my first plan. In my backup plan a person is waiting patiently in their car
