Production Blog: Unfortunate Events

Image
Unfortunately I did not end up going to the theme park. I planned to record a few clips at a theme park, but those plans changed. I was really looking forward to recording all the roller coasters and fun scenery for my music video so it is very sad that I was not able to. Though I know I did get great shots and will create the best work I can. The tickets were just a little too expensive because there were many of us going together therefore the money added up. I did not have enough time as well because I was only on vacation for a short amount of time. I thought I would have enough time to make it to one of the theme parks but my schedule was very packed. I feel it would have enhanced my music video tremendously but I know I can make it just as good without those clips. It was not a major part of my music video that I needed for sure because I had many other things to film. Therefore I know it did not effect my work ethic. I knew it was important for me to not be too worried or rattle...

Storyboard: Sketching my music video!

Image
 Storyboard My music video will be based off a vacation therefore there will be many different exciting locations and settings in it. I will be making my music video to the song "The Night Is Still Young" by Nicki Manaj. Unfortunately our plans to go to a theme park, which I talked about in my intro and planning blog were canceled. I will have to make up by adding more small events to record during my vacation to make up this lost time.  First Scene:  During this scene I will filming out of the front window of the car I will be in. It will be night because my song has more of a night feel to it. It is likely to be filmed with a pan movement to enhance the entire view.  Second Scene:  The next scene will be a view from one of the side windows of the car, to shows another view of where I am. Also will be filmed as a medium shot with a person sitting in front of the window, which is not drawn in the storyboard. This will likely be filmed with a tilt movement to enh...

Planning Blog: Let's get planning!

Planning Blog Props:   I will use props like duffle bags and different types of bags used when you travel because I will be arriving at a hotel. It will be a vacation setting so towels may also be used as props because I will go to the pool at my resort. Room keys will also be used as a prop when entering the hotel room for the first time. Different types of cool food and drinks we end up buying may also be used as props in my music video.  Costumes:   Costumes will likely ordinary, possibly a little colorful whatever fits the mood of the setting. Other than that bathing suits may be costumes considering I will likely film at the pool. I would definitely prefer colorful outfits but I feel they need to match the setting for the storyline to make sense.   Schedule: On 11/13/22, I researched conventions relating to pop/rap music videos.  On 11/14/22, I established the location, props, costumes, schedule, and backup plan for the music video.  On 11/15/22, ...

Research Blog: Learning about music video conventions!

Research Blog I will be making my music video with the song "The Night Is Still Young" by Nicki Manaj. I found this song to be best fitting for the setting I will have in my music video, I wanted to find an upbeat song to do this.  There are many different types of music different categories like genres and many other ways of categorizing them. My song "The Night Is Still Young" by Nicki Manaj fits into the genre of pop/rap.  Pop music, the songs are mainly cheerful and exciting. In the music videos, there is a significant amount of dancing and looking happy with friends, as well as the popular musician being recorded. Pop music is heavily centered on the performer. In these videos, for instance, there are many close-up shots of the artist. Since these artists are being filmed so closely, their appearance is crucial. When it comes to women 's fashion, their clothes are extremely eye-catching and unique. When it comes to men, their costume isn't as essential ...

Group Blog: Individual is the way to go!

I will be working alone. When I work alone, I am less distracted and am able to complete my tasks more quickly. I also don't have any nearby friends with whom I can schedule recording sessions. I will be responsible for all aspects of my music video's editing, recording, planning, and production. Working alone fits my schedule better because I don't have to worry about meeting up with anyone. Also, if someone has difficulty meeting together, it will not be an issue for me because I will not be relying on my group. I dislike hearing other people's perspectives in group activities. I also work better on my own because I prefer to do my work in a consistent manner without interference from others. I also get stressed when work is divided and someone does not complete their portion. Having to rely on someone for my own grade adds pressure because they may not share my mindset and will not complete their work as efficiently as I do. I prefer to make my own plans and goals be...

Introduction Blog: I'm back for my music video!

Image
 Hi, my name is Jasmine Mendez and I am back again for my music video project! I am super excited to get started with this project because I loved the last project. I also love music so being able to incorporate it into my project now is going to be very fun. I am planning to do an upbeat song so my music video will be fun and exciting. It is actually very funny that I have to make a music video for my next project and also it being for school. Considering I used to make music videos all the time when I was younger. Me and my cousins would make silly music videos all the time together. We used different movie editors and things and lip syncing apps. This is another reason I am very excited for this project because it will bring back old memories! Making these music videos were very fun because they were a good way to pass time and I could spend time with my cousins. I am going to a theme park very soon for vacation so I am also thinking about filming there for my music video. This ...
