Introduction to the Music Video Project

 I will be starting a new project for this class, my music video project. For this new project I have decided to work by myself and not in a group. I have always been a very independent person, and I overall work better alone than I do with other people. I also have other responsibilities to attend to while working on this project, and I think that I would have to work by my schedule, not anyone else's. I also don't like relying on other people to complete a project since there's a possibility they may not complete it by the due date. Overall I think working by myself would be the best choice for this project. The song I chose for this project is "Die Young" by Kesha. I thought about using multiple songs, and that was a big issue since I couldn't decide on what song to use. I wanted to have a song that had a very happy and exciting mood, which is a description for a lot of songs. I started off with writing down all the songs that I wanted to use for my music video. As an avid music listener, there was a long list of songs to choose from, from pop to rock, and even classical music. Then I tried to have a summary of what I wanted my music video to be like, and what mood it would give off. I decided I wanted my music video to be upbeat and happy, which made me rule out some songs. I looked at all of my remaining songs and looked at which I liked the best, and if the beat went with my idea of the music video. After a lot of process of elimination and research about each song, I decided that "Die Young" by Kesha was the best fitting song overall. I have always really enjoyed this song ever since it came out, and it really stuck out to me. I enjoy the overall beat of the song and I think it is the perfect song to have a music video to. This song has a very happy beat to it, and can get anyone in a happy mood. This very good and happy beat, paired with my upbeat music video will be a great match for this music video. I have listened to this song for a long time, and it always makes me feel very upbeat and happy, I would consider it to be one of my favorite songs. I am very excited to get started and working on this new project.

Planning to Film: Items Needed

Image
 I decided not to film this weekend due to the fact that I didn't have all the items needed. In a previous blog I mentioned all of the items I needed to film. The past weekend I decided to dedicate it to making a list and buying everything I needed for the film. If I didn't dedicate this weekend to buying all of the materials I needed, I would not be able to film. I would rather film fully prepared with everything I need before hand, than start filming and not have anything. Without all of the proper items needed to film, this film would not be complete and would overall take longer. This weekend I looked around my house to see what I had, and what I could use as props for my film. I looked all around my house since I would like to use items I already had instead of going out and buying items that are unneeded. I found some items that could be used within the film, in my house, thus bringing down the cost. However, I couldn't find all of the items I needed for the film. Sin...

Planning to Film

Image
 I can not film during the week due to school and other obligations I have. Instead of not being proactive about filming, I decided that I am going to see what I need to do before I film. I looked at what props I would need for the film, and seeing what I would need to do to attain that. I decided that I will probably need some rope for my final task, so I have to see how much it costs, and where to buy it. I also must decide when I am going to go out and buy the rope with my parents since I don't have a car. I also must decide who I want to act in the film and who they are going to play. After I decide who I want to be in the film, and who they are going to play, I have to contact them. I plan to start filming and having everything I need by next weekend, so that gives me a lot of time to plan. I also plan to film throughout spring break since I will be able to film during the week since we will not have school. I also must start thinking about how much this project may cost with ...

Genre Research: Action

 I conducted research this year on the action genre of movies where I discussed the different aspects of the genre of action movies. I made sure in the powerpoint to add different pictures and examples of each term I researched. I specifically used pictures from action movies to show how each term was used and to show action examples. I discussed the lighting in action movies, which typically tends to be low-key lighting, high-key lighting, and Rembrandt lighting. I used pictures from movies like "Fight Club" to show the use of this lighting in these movies. I discussed the camera angles in action movies, which tend to be establishing shots, ariel shots, close up shots, mid shots, and high angle shots. I used the establishing shot from the Harry Potter series to use has an example to show an example of an establishing shot. I discussed the movement that is used in action movies which are pans, zooms, reverse zooms, tilt, and crane shots. I discussed the mise-en-scene in actio...
