Filming blog

Image
Before I could start filming I had to get my props. I got my props and then I was able to start filming. First I did a pan shot on the sports car. Then I shot the scene with the Pikachu costume. Then I shot the jewelry shot. I also shot the money scene. Next I shot the money snow angle scene. Then I shot the tilt scene of the sportscar. then I shot another scene with the Pikachu costume. I shot another scene with the jewelry. Then I shot another scene were I used the fake money. I also shot another scene after that with the money. Then I was on to my last scene. My last scene was were I shot a sunset. I had to film on different days than I had originally planned on. Some of the days I was supposed to film it was to windy. Other times when I tried to film it was raining. So I had to move some of the filming days back. That caused me to take a longer time filming than I planned. But it didn't matter because I gave myself enough time to do them if they got delayed.

Planning for my music Video

Image
 My song title is Pikachu clean. I chose The song Pikachu clean by the kid laroi because its a song I listen to all the time and really enjoy it. I also chose that song because I think that this is one of the best songs that I can make a good music video on. I will have to costumes for my music video. One of my costumes for the music video will be a Pikachu costume. For my music video I will have three locations. My first location for filming is my Front yard. My second Location for my music video will be in my driveway. My third filming location for my music video will be my back yard. I am using a few props for my music video. The props include fake money and fake jewelry. For my schedule I am goin to do my story board on 11/18/20. Then my I will be filming for two days 11/25/20 and 11/26/20. Then I will edit my music video on 11/28/20. For my backup plan I am giving myself a pretty good amount of days to work with if I cant film. If I cant film it is because the weather is bad. ...

Research Blog: Music video conventions

  Choose a theme or visual motif.  This simply a common set of colors, locations, or a mood that guides all of your shots. Professional rap videos tend to rely on creative visuals while the rapper spits his lines into the camera. These themes can range from a lavish hip-hop lifestyle to a simple but striking visual theme. Craig Mack's "Flava in Ya Ear," for example, uses stark black and white shots on a white background that makes each rapper a unique, screen-filling phenomenon.  Decide if you want to tell a story.  Not all rap songs need to tell a story, and most don't. But some videos will even split the difference, interspersing a short story throughout more traditional shots, like in T.I.'s "Whatever You Like" video. T.I. starts with a short skit, showing our feature dancer working at a fast-food joint, before using the video to show her "rise" to stardom and riches. It is simple, but effective, especially with the ending skit that reveals ...

Introduction to the music video project

Image
 For this music video project I am working by myself. There are many different reasons that I am working alone on this project. The first reason is that it would be difficult to work with other people. It would be difficult because of the pandemic so its hard to meet up. The second reason is because Working with others right now would be inconvenient. It would be inconvenient because it takes time to set up the meetings with other people and you have to do it in every meeting when alone you can just work on your project whenever. The last reason is because it can be easier. It can be easier because sometimes groupmates do not do their part so you have to do it. Also working alone helps you understand the topic your working on more. It helps you understand more because you do every part of the project. The song that I chose for the music video is. The song I chose for the music video was Pikachu by the kid laroi  clean version. I chose this song because I enjoy it. I also chose...

Commercial

 

Commercial Blog

 If I where to do things differently I would try to do a commercial that did not depend as much on the weather. Or one that could be done indoors. I would also would have wanted to do some of the scenes on a different day. I would have changed the day That I shot those scenes. I would have changed the day because the day I shot It It was very windy. But most other days thee weather has not been compatible for my commercial. I have learned different ways to film during this assignment. I have also learned how to explain the different parts of making a commercial. It also taught me how to music to go with the video. Another thing I learned was that there are so many different steps in making one commercial. I also learned how to make a storyboard. The commercial also taught me what to do and not to do while creating a commercial. For the process my first step was to think of a product to do a commercial on. My second step was to research the product. And to see what the product comme...

Editing Blog

Image
 First I got all the scenes aligned and in order. Then I made sure all the timing was correct. Some parts of some scenes had to be cut because it was taking it over the limit. Thee first of the editing was dun on my home computer. Then I played it to see what how long it was and It was 1 minute. I had to go back and see what did not to be in it. So I cut all the unnecessary parts. First I cut down the scenes with just the water bottle. Then I cut one of the scenes where It showed me drinking the water. This made the commercial less time which was good. Then the scene where it shows me sweaty was edited to show me coming into shot. The ending logo scene was cut to be much shorter. Then the scene where I'm running was cut to show less of it. Then more editing came into the commercial. The scene where I was running around was sped up a little to shorten it. Even more Editing was used to get rid of some of the glare from the shot with the water. Speeding up the the scene allowed thee m...

Filming Blog

 On Friday the 30th I started filming. I was going to film on the 29th but the weather was not the right condition for the scenes. As the director I brought all of the costumes and props for filming. For the begging scenes I had to change into my exercise cloths. I made sure to get someone to direct the specific scenes and angles that went with it. The street outside my house was busy so I had to make sure I did the scenes when there was no cars passing. I resumed filming and made sure to re-shoot scenes. The next I angle thee camera at the Zephyrhills bottle. I set up the props behind it as well. I placed the bottle on the edge of the pool. The I put some branches behind it to look tropical. The water bottle scene needed to be reshot as there was lots of glare on the water. I did not use a tripod for half of the scenes. I set up a place where it told me what I needed to do and what to say. some of the areas of filming needed to be cleaned from all the props. I made sure the areas ...
