Music Video Reflection

-




1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? 

This is a pop video where the conventions are bright colors, characters having fun, and money. This genre is most common amongst teens and young adults. Therefore, the song is representing the female point of view on relationship issues. Sure amy! Instead of challenging the convention in Pop, I imbedded heir acts into the video for must exciting days.

2. How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text? 

My final music video is very engaging and would be popular amongst youth and young adults that both listen/watch it. The strong correlation of my video and videos out by real artists prevail in similarity. I was sure to add direct looks into the camera and fun scenes. Their interest will also peak once the video starts transitioning more and switching scenes. 

3. How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

Throughout the project, I realized that finding a common theme was crucial to the success of the video. I had to direct each character and I feel like my skills in that are also improving, helping my ideas translate and be grasped by them. I had to be more critical on the selections in order to have a cohesive video. The outfits, contrasting lighting and all had to link or at least use a uniform transition.

  4. How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?

In this project, I mainly used iMovie for the tasks of facilitating and ordering all clips into the music video This was always pretty easy and is an easy way to burn smores. Next, I used the lomotif app on mobile to make fast collages of pictures and videos. I used PicsArt for minor reasons like needing to chose an entire theme and switch background shades.

Our Pitch for Project! - Short Film

-

      We've been tasked with a Short Film that's supposed to be the length of five minutes. I am working with a group and spent about 2 days brainstorming and came together with ideas and we collectively decided on a product.    Our main pitch and film will be about a man and his wife whom he has just killed. She's been put in the trunk of his car and it will begin with the male actor closing the trunk. Afterwards he's being mentally strained and traumatized with overwhelming guilt to where hes hallucinating his dead wife in his car and around him. Playback's of their memories together will be shown to develop character relationship. The woman's dialogue will be her soothing/downplaying the situation because his subconscious is trying to relieve him of guilt. He'll be completely overwhelmed. Wrapping up the film will be him stopping and getting out of the car to then, walk out into the road to end his life.      The entire film will take plac...

Genre Research: Me Before You 2016

  Me Before You was a full on drama influenced and led by romance. A man was living a lavish, wealthy and adventurous life until his life changed completely after being in an accident that left him paralyzed. Louisa enters his life as his caregiver but becomes so much more by loving him and wanting him to find value in his life. But in all her efforts, his mind didn't change. A necessary convention of drama was character development. Within the movie, Louisa grew personally and it's because of her experiences with Will. In my film I'll be sure to include that development. Another thing that made this movie successful was the irony in some parts. Will used to jump off cliffs into oceans and since he cant walk, going back to his old life isn't even an option. Lastly, was the unpredictable ending. The continuous drama of what'd happen next and the constant rising of issues made it interesting and I'll be sure to take that into thought when creating my film.

The Drive, Short Feature - Reflection

  How do your products represent social groups or issues?     Our film isn't vocally or directly focused on social issues however when looking for a deeper meaning, an issue that prevails is the male's mental state. To have killed someone he loves, to imagine/hallucinate them in his space, to then kill himself is a lot to receive in a short film. As we forge through an era where mental health is prioritized, this film was an easy development to portray this. Boys and men are prone to be judged for showing or expressing emotions. In the film, this bottled-up self-hatred, guilt, and uncertainty of the main character led to his own demise. Applied to society, this happens so frequently that people push it under the rug. Men should be allowed to have and express their emotions without feeling empty or weak. We are all human and it's impossible to feel anything. Dean committed suicide at the end of the film by walking out into the road because he couldn’t take anymor...
