Intro Blog for Music Video

      I decided to work in a group of 4 people. My partners are Tiana Graham, Andrew James, and Eric Bonilla. I first chose Andrew as my partner because we are friends who work well together. The last project we completed together we produced great work and I wanted to continue that. Tiana and Eric previously worked together and created quality work as well, we thought it would be a good move to merge our groups together. Overall we decided to combine with them because we figured it would be easier for the filming. If it were just us two the video wouldn't have much substance. With more people we can interact in the music video more. The hardest part of this process so far was choosing a song, there were so many that we liked. We finally came to a consensus on a song that would work. The name of the song we chose is "Walking on Sunshine"- Katrina and the Waves. We decided on that song because it sounds very uplifting and happy. It is a very easy listening and light hearted song that many people know. The vibe the song gives off is very positive, as if everything is going your way. We want to implement that message in our video. We thought it would be a good match because we could have fun in the video. The song gives us a lot to work with and we will be able to discuss interesting ideas for the video.

Research Blog for our Music Video

  Research Blog Clip from 'Walking On Sunshine' music video Our music video won't follow the convection of the Pop Rock genre. After analyzing the "Walking On Sunshine" music video, me and my group have decided to stir away from pop rock convections and create our own unique music video. When first discussing the filming process, a majority of our group agreed on wearing colorful wigs. Not for any significant reasoning but simply doing it out of fun. Though, the colorful wigs will aid the overall tone of the video. Going back to convections of the Pop Rock genre, in our research we've found the common characteristic of Pop Rock music videos. Typically will contain multiple scenes of the artist doing random activities or following a story. As well as scenes altering the focus of the video of those artist following their story to them preforming the song on stage. The attire in most Pop Rock music videos are trendy, yet moderate toned clothing. A perfect mixture...

Production

 Our team has not agreed on the exact days we plan to film but we have decided on a time period to film. Since we all have school going on and our lives to attend to after, it is hard to choose a day. We are sorting our schedules to come up with a good day to film. Also, we would need to film on a day with favorable weather because half of our filming will be taking place outside. As for location, we have a park set to film at but since we haven't picked a filming day. We also have an office building we are supposed to film at , however I am not 100% sure about the stability. We found a park that has a playground, a field, and other areas need to film. We decided to use iMovie, an editing app made by Apple, to edit our film. I am very experienced with using this app, it makes editing an easier job. It took us a while to decide because although we have used this before we still wanted to explore other options. iMovie includes many features that we can use to make our opening sequenc...

Editing for my Crocs Commercial

Image
 The editing process of my commercial was not too difficult. The total time it took to edit was about 30 minutes. I used iMovie to edit on my laptop and I begun my importing my footage onto my laptop. I organized the clips in the order I wanted the commercial to flow. I did not use all the clips I wanted to make sure I remained in the time limit. I watched all the footage back as I was editing to find the perfect clips to use for each part. For the parts of the commercial I did not want to use I cut the clip and merged the other pieces together. During the editing process I noticed that the time limit wasn't going over too much and I was on the right track. I wanted to add a little bit of calming music to the background of my video. In many Croc commercials there is a calm background music and I wanted to add that element to my commercial. I looked through all the sounds and music on iMovie and found a song fitting to the commercial. I then lowered the volume on the audio clip so i...
