I've joined a group! Group Blog!

-



   Over the entire course of last year, I did all the projects alone and it was convenient and my main preference due to my busy schedule. I personally LOVE the individual freedom I get when getting creative and producing something I can be proud of. Especially with doing school at home and being separated. I also wanted to be safe for my family and reduce the amount of people I'm around due to Covid-19. 

    This year, I'm branching out and starting the year a bit differently. I will be working in a group with Cole Roberts and Samuel Silva, making us a group of three. We all are involved in extra-curricular activities and very integrated in sports, through this I feel like we have a mutual understanding of each other's schedules.
     I've known Cole throughout high-school and we both are hardworking, high achieving students. We've worked together on math assignments and are good friends. Finding out we were both in the A-level course acknowledged that we both are interested in Media and find it genuinely interesting.
     I met Samuel in this class and he carries a creative mind that I feel can contribute to our brainstorming, filming, and editing processes in the future. He's been a friend of Cole for over 6 years so we all clicked easily.
    All in all, I'm looking forward to doing this project with them. I'd like to increase my group-working skills and determine if these three heads will be better than one. With this group, I can see different perspectives and hope our individual personalities merge and can be seen through the film.

Music Video Conventions

-

The song I choose was "Boys Aint It," by SAYGRACE. This song falls under the huge, trendy, genre of POP! This genre is most commonly used amongst teens and young adults. Through this many artists get to share their vibe, personality, and emotions while having fun. With its range, Pop music branched out to disco and contemporary R&B. In my song election, it has music breaks of disco beats, lyrics similar to contemporary R&B and the perfect feel of Pop.  Pop music videos usually have these conventions: MISE EN SCENE - Bright colors, Bright lights, Fashionable Clothing, Nice accessories, and Good make-up. PROPS - depends on the artists, their chosen theme, and setting used. VIDEO EDITS - Tints and filters to boost colors, and edits made to artists to seem picture perfect. CHARACTERS - usually sung and performed by women while having both genders integrated in the video. CAMERA SHOTS/ANGLES - close-up scenes on the artists face, wide/long angle shots, tracking the artists...

Planning Storyboard for my Sunglass Hut Commercial

  Creating a storyline for my commercial goes right along with my vision. I've looked at other commercials from Sunglass Hut to get an overview and inspiration of what I'd like in mines. I hope I'm not reaping more than I can sow.  For the beginning of the video, I want to have a variety of glasses pop up on the screen in a random order just blinking over each other. Its a cool and flashy into automatically grabbing the audience's attention.  Then have someone walking outside near trees or just in front of the mall with different angles and shoots. Ill do these in a long or aerial shots for range then zoom in on the glasses. Maybe it'll include an outfit change during this shoot for versatility. In the third box, I want someone driving, and once the sun shines SUPER BRIGHT, the actor will grab some trendy glasses and smoothly put them on and smile. The next scenes will be like a catalog screening and pan of the glasses in different settings. With ...

Working on the Social Media Pages

  Switching back over to the Marketing portion of the movie is really fun! Today I posted onto the Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts. I posted the same content on Twitter and Instagram that there are four days left until the movie is released!! Additionally, I posted that our Movie Trailer that I created on Tuesday is available to watch exclusively on the website.  On Instagram, I might post the full trailer through reels to provide an alternative watching method and bring some footage to the audience. It's only 37 seconds long so I'm sure it'll fit. I also posted the singular post of the countdown! I will be posting for the remainder of the time until our official movie drops. On that day, I'm planning and creating special graphics and posters through the Canva platform to be more like an actual Movie Release. I almost thought of including or having a movie premiere either virtually or just the creators with a red carpet. This is my imagination expanding and I ...
