My Music Video




My music video is about a girl who struggles with body image and who is very insecure with herself. 
The girl eats oranges so she can achieve the  "ideal body type". This is alluded in the video by showing her computer screen with the google search of models. The girl featured in the video tends to look at herself in the mirror a lot and compares herself to these skinny models. In this music video it shows her daily struggle of feeling insecure about her body but also the journey she ventures through learning how to love herself. She searches up articles and ways to love herself and her body and thats when the process starts. The spinning scene shows that she feels stuck in the middle of chaos but its also the bridge of her becoming more confident with herself. The spinning scene is mixed with the scene of the girl eating the oranges because her main struggles in life is only eating oranges, its suppose to be a flashback. Then the audience gets a sequence of the girl continuing to struggle with body image. It shows her looking in the mirror again and lifting weights. This flashback was a time that she was very desperate and unhappy with herself in general. Moving past that horrible era in her life she gains some confidence. The next scene shows her throwing out her oranges. Which is a big step for the girl. It shows growth and maturity; she is finally starting to let go of her past. Lastly, the final scene is her eating the oranges once again. This is indeed a flash back because the darker scenes are the past and the brighter scenes are the present. In this last clip it flashes to her eating actual food that she enjoys and back to the flashback back and forth. In the end she is much happier now because she doesn't force herself to eat healthy. 

Overall a lot of changes went forth in making this video, but I'm satisfied with the outcome even if I didn't include all my planned ideas. Hopefully next time I can.

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...
