Song Title:

Save Your Tears by The Weeknd

Props:

Since my group and I decided to produce a commercial based off a breakup between a couple right after a date, our main prop will be a rose. Some other props we will use is a phone and a car. 

Costumes: 

In our music video we will have one main person as the subject , the girl who had just been broken up with. Along with the main subject, we will have other subjects as well. For the couple since they just came from a date they will be dressed up nicely but casual  and since we will film at night they will wear warm clothes. For example, dresses, a jacket, etc. Our other subjects, we will only use their lips within the music video.  If we can not get our subjects, to dress up nicely they will dress up in normal clothing like t shirts, jeans, sneakers, etc.


Film Schedule:

On 11/13/22, our group researches codes and conventions of pop genre music videos.

On 11/15/22, our group establishes the props, costumes, schedule, location list, and backup plan.

On 11/19/22, our group will create the storyboard for our 1 min and 15 seconds music video.

On 12/10/22, our group will film and record the necessary shots for our music video.

On 12/15/22, our group will edit and add the final touches to the music video. 


Location List:

When filming this music video, we will use many locations. These locations would start off walking outside of a restaurant showing the couple leaving the restaurant. This would be the point where one significant other breaks up with the other to emphasize the breakup message we want to get across. 

Other locations we would use is inside a car, a parking lot, and inside a bedroom. In these locations, we would have the significant other who is in distraught and disbelief after being broken up with which will further get our message and story across.

Backup Plans: 

We have picked some locations and parts of our music video that will take place outside. If there is bad weather such as rain or thunder we will then change our location to inside of the place where the date is taking place and just do an establishing shot to move the story forward. If one of the two group members is absent, we will either reschedule the day we film or someone else would take their position.

WELCOME BACK TO MY BLOG!

Hello everyone, it’s Marvin and I know it’s been a while but WELCOME BACK TO MY BLOG! Last time you saw me I was a newbie to the media world but so much has changed. Now I’m in A level media and I completed my AICE diploma. But, even though I completed my diploma I still decided to continue taking some AICE classes because I just fell in love with them , for example media. I’m now a junior and next year I’m going to be a senior and I have to start applying for college. It’s pretty scare how fast life is moving because when people told me high school went fast, I didn’t believe it. It felt like I was just a freshman yesterday sitting in AICE General Paper and marine science and global perspectives. Now , I’m in two a level courses and taking AP classes on top of that. But since I’ve finished AICE, I would say my hardest class I took would be AICE European History. I really thought I wouldn’t pass the exam but when I got my score back I almost burst into tears because that was the last r...

Production Blog

 Production Blog Welcome back everyone! We finally finished filming our commercial. Our group worked so well together when filming the commercial and we all contributed towards the direction the commercial took. When we were filming, we kept thinking very hard about the shots and my group and I were very mindful to use different types of shots when we were filming so we can have a variety. When filming some of our shots on this day, there were some problems where some of the specific scenes did not look natural. One example of this was our 3rd scene. In this scene, one of our subjects was fake sleeping and it did not look as real as possible and in order to fix this problem, my group and I did multiple shots of the scenes and chose the best ones. For our second scene, we had arranged the set properly. We had people sit in certain places,  stand in certain places , and look in a specific direction when talking. For all our scenes, we had our subjects have some input as to how w...

Group Blog

 Hello everyone and thank you for finding my group blog for my music video. I had a group for my commercial which was composed of Mya, Kyra, and I. But, for this project our group has gotten smaller and is now composed of just Mya and I. Kyra decided she wanted to work with a new group this time which we fully respect and we both still are great friends with Kyra. I chose to continue working with Mya because of her work ethic. Mya is great when it comes to group project because she gets stuff done. When we did our commercial, Mya would always remind Kyra and I in a group chat when we had due dates for the commercials. Mya would also always get her part of the project done within enough time for the rest of us to review it and make any changes if we needed to but there were always hardly any changed needed to be made. Another reason I decided to work with Mya again was because of her leadership when filming. When we were filming our commercial Mya would take charge without taking ov...
