Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today, I want to tell you about some of the planning process that's been happening for my music video. So originally, my group member and I decided to do a song called "Starboy" by The Weeknd. But then we had a change of plans after some discussion. We decided to change it to a song that is more known and more popular. We knew we still wanted to do a song by The Weeknd but just pick a more popular one. So, we started to text about it and it took us about 15 minutes to finalize the song. After talking it over, my group mate was the one who originally came up with the idea. I decided to let my group mate be the more main decision maker since I was the main person who decided Starboy. When I asked my group mate to decide, she ended up picking the song "Save Your Tears: Remix" by The Weeknd and Ariana Grande. I thought this song was such a good pick for our music video. I thought this was a good pick as well because it was still by one of my favorite artist and it had another artist we both liked on the song. Another reason I liked it was because of the mood of the song. Starboy had a more dark type mood towards it and we thought would require us to film at nighttime. "Save Your Tears" we agreed had a more bright and happy mood to it. Because of the happy mood we thought it had, we would be able to film in the daytime. Also another reason why we both liked the new song, "Save Your Tears" is because of the wide variety of options it gave. When we were reviewing "Starboy" we had a hard time coming up with a storyboard. For our storyboard, we wanted to tell a story, we were stuck when how we could tell a story with that song. We thought the song "Save Your Tears" would give us more leeway when deciding a storyboard. Well thank you everyone for reading my blog, make sure you come back and read my next blog!

 Research: Music Videos Conventions and Codes    My group is doing a pop song for our music video. In most pop genre music videos, the audience usually watches people sing the lyrics to the song within the video. A lot of things are subject to the meaning or theme of the song and how the artist wants to get that across within the music video They usually wear costumes that go with the theme of the music video , so for example if the theme of the video involves them performing for a crowd they usually wear nice clothing like dresses, suits, etc. If the theme is midcentury, they usually wear old style clothing like knight armor, long skirts, etc. If the theme is casual, they wear casual clothing like t shirts, jeans, shorts, and sneakers. Props are also usually subject to the theme of the video. If they are performing in the music videos they might have microphones, a microphone stand, and a stage. If it's more midcentury them some props used could be a horse.  The app...

Production Blog: Filming Blog

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog!  Guess what, we filmed! My group mate and I finally filmed. Mya and I filmed at Sawgrass Mall, a mall near both of our houses. Filming took about a two hours in total. We were on a time crunch so we had to hurry . The person we ended up using to play the kidnapper was both Mya and I's friend Joey. We picked Joey because  fit the type of person we wanted to play that character.  But, Joey ended up not being able to come last minute which we started to panic. The main problem we had when filming was finding a location. Specifically , it was hard for our group to find a family bathroom that fit how we wanted it to look. We wanted a family bathroom so that we can all go inside and film inside the bathroom with everyone helping out. We ended up not being able to find a family restroom. We looked all over the mall and couldn't find one and we all started to freak out. But, we couldn't make one appear so we just decided to scrap that s...
