Planning for my Music Video

Song Title: Orange Juice by Melanie Martinez

Props: Oranges, Fisheye Lens, Fan, Laptop, and Mirror.

Costumes: The clothes will be casual so it won't take attention away from the music video but the colors will be light and pastel, resembling Melanie Martinez's actual music videos.

Schedule: 

- November 13, 2020, my Introduction Blog was created and then I started to conduct research on the conventions of my music video's genre.

- November 17, 2020, my research is finally done and I start to plan out how I want my music video to look like for the final product. 

- November 19, 2020, I will start my storyboard by drawing out how I want each scene in my music video to look like. 

- November 20, 2020, After having a clear idea and guideline on how my music video should look like, I will start to film. 

- November 21 - 29, 2020 I will write down my experiences filming along with all the ups and downs and later use this as a reference to make my filming blog. 

- November 30, 2020, I will use my notes from my experience filming and include them in my blog about filming.

- December 1, 2020, I will start editing my music video. I will add music and video effects on the project.

Location: I plan to film it in my room where there are good lighting and a good setting for the theme of the music video. The music video will be targeted to teen girls and a bedroom is a perfect spot. I'm also debating whether I should film some shots outside and at the dinner table. I haven't decided yet. 

Backup Plan: If things don't work out in my favor I'm really good at improvising, I'll make anything work. I will film ahead of time so if the house is too noisy or if I have a lot of work that day I will simply film the next. When it comes to props if I run out of oranges or they go bad I will exclude them from the video. If the fisheye lens doesn't look adequate I'll use another decent shot for that specific scene. I plan where everything will work out and if not I'll be sure to blog it.

Genre Research: Drama

  Before hand, I did extensive research on the drama genre. I did this in attempts of finding the perfect genre to use in my final draft. What's so cool about drama movies is that, many films fall under this genre. Moreover, conventions in drama movies are very broad. Movies that are considered action, adventure, or even comedy can also have drama aspects in it. The genre is just extremely broad and its so much you could do with it. The powerpoint attached is a project I did featuring common elements used in dramas. Not only did I have to research these common elements but I used my experience from watching movies from this genre to help me out. Naturally, I lean more into liking drama movies. So you could say I have some sort of bias toward this genre but I'm not sure if I want to use it. I think it wouldn't be the right genre for the type of movie I was planning to do.  Dramas tend to focus on the dialogue because the storyline/plot has to be really dominant in these mo...

Title Research: Zodiac

Image
   This is from the website "Art of the Title":  www.artofthetitle.com What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? The name of the actors. The directors and producers. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? The opening sequence is showing the life of the apparent, main character. Also, his surroundings so the view of the city and where he works. We get a good view of the office. What connotations do these images carry? We see that he's a dad and that he's pretty content with his job. Although, he seems like he doesn't have any friends. This is a neutral connotation. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset? Thriller movies keep the audience guessing. I assume things like where he works and what city he resides in, are significant to the plot. Maybe a little bit of foreshadowing.  What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? The movie is starting off pretty calm and it introduces t...

Filming & Editing Blog: Getting Started

Image
Before I start to film or edit, I have to get a few things into order. For example, I don't have all my props yet. The props I still need are a calendar, a cake, and headphones. In order to get these things, I had to ask my Dad if could he take me to the store. Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to go to the store yet but my Dad said we could go tomorrow. As soon as I buy my calendar I'll get straight to work. I'll mark it appropriately based on each individual scene and record it. I want to get everything out of the way so I could finish in time and not feel too rushed with everything. This is such a big important project and all the weight is on my shoulders because I feel pressured to make it perfect.  Without any help, this project has been a challenge but I won't let that get to me. Additionally, when I get the cake I will record all the scenes that involve it as soon as possible. Buying this cake is a win-win situation, I need it for my project and a...
