Music Video Project

Music Video

In the making of this music video, I learned many things about cinematography. We shot the video on our phones. We had to shoot many takes to get the perfect angle, lighting, focus, etc. We used many angles to show the characters different emotions. We used many close-up shots to get the character's reactions. We also used mid-shots when the main character was standing. Mid-shots help to show body language in situations. In this video, I played the role of the main girl that fell in love with the "popular" boy. I drew most of the storyboard with feedback from the people in my group. I helped to do the planning portion as well as most of the acting parts. In the future, if I could change anything, I would create a more thought-out storyboard that way it can be easier to follow. I learned many valuable lessons while filming this project. I could use these lessons in more projects down the road.

CCR Script

   1. How do your products use or challenge conventions and how do they represent social groups or issues? The things we used that supported our conventions were the lighting and setting of our film. Meanwhile, the thing that challenged our convention was the lighting. In a horror film, it is normal to have a "scary" looking setting. Due to this, we chose our setting to be mainly in the woods. We also edited our film to have darker lighting. It appears to be more suspenseful and unsettling when the lighting is low-key. We used elements of cinematography when filming as well. We used certain angles and shots to get the best product when filming. We used long shots when the main character was walking her dog. We soon after switched to close-up shots when she was getting kidnapped to increase the amount of suspense. Our products represent a very important issue nowadays; girls getting kidnapped. Our main character (me) walked into the woods thinking everything was okay. Little d...

Editing Update

Post-production is going fairly well right now. However, our rough cut did not meet the 1:30 requirement. We cut down too many clips and took out some clips that shouldn't have been taken out. We will need to go back and revise this before our final cut is submitted. We have to add background music and some more sound effects as well. We didn't have a postproduction schedule, to begin with, however, this is not affecting us as we all know when we can plan on finishing up editing.  This is our rough cut.

Pre-production Plan

For our final project, we are creating a short intro to a horror film. We are going to start this film with a girl sitting down to watch the news. There is going to be an interruption of a breaking news warning. We will inform the people that there have been many missing person reports going out recently. The girl will then get up from her couch, go into the woods and take her dog on a walk. During this walk, someone will be in the woods acting as a "kidnapper". The girl will walk in the trail cluelessly and later get kidnapped. The setting of our story is in a house but mainly in the woods. The kidnapper in the woods will be wearing all dark clothes to portray the "bad guy". The girl will be wearing bright clothes to show she is the protagonist. We will be filming on an iPhone camera. We won't be using any props in our short intro.  For the setting, we will be shooting in Amory's neighborhood. We will start the film at her house. This is where the girl will...
