Planning Blog: Music Video

 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.

First Scene- In the first scene, a couple is madly in love. They have just came off of a date and the girl has a rose in her hand given to her by her significant other. They are walking holding hands down the pathway.  Second Scene- In the second scene, the significant other breaks up with the girl. This absolutely crushes her and she becomes very emotional. She becomes this emotional not only because of the breakup but also because of how shocking and off guard it was.  Third Scene- In the Third scene , the girl turns to something that she always knows will make her feel better. She puts on her headphones to try to get over the heartbreak that her boyfriend just put her through and she is trying to cope with her feelings. Fourth Scene- After the girl puts on her headphones , she goes to her phone and turns on a song. This is the part where the music will come in and begin playing. She will begin playing the song “Save Your Tears” by The Weeknd, one of her favorite songs. Fift...

1. How does your product use or  challenge conventions AND how does it  represent social groups or issues?   My music video challenge convention’s because we worked with what we had are video used a local park instead of any fancy sets and my iPhone camera instead of anything fancy. Our props were all objects we had already owned. My video showed a biracial couple which isn’t always represented in the media. Also shows how jumping to conclusions isn’t always the answer our video shows the girlfriend upset cause she thinks the boyfriend is cheating. However he explains himself and tells her he was really going to propose which is why he was being sneaky.                                                                                             ...

Genre Decision Blog

 Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog, today I wanted to share with you my group's decision on what genre our final task will be.  The first genre we considered was a comedic genre and this was a genre we spent a lot of time looking at. When looking at it, we liked how comedy and comedic decision is spread throughout the entire media,  for example, you have the comedic and goofy movements with the camera shaking and going upside down. As we reviewed it more, our thoughts changed about the props and we originally didn't like the use of props but as we reviewed we began to see the comedic purposes that props play and that purpose,  it can be the actor using it to do something silly or really anything, and we also liked how we would use diegetic sound like laughing to get the genre across even more. But, there was a really big dealbreaker when it came to part of this genre and that was the dialogue aspect. The reason this was a dealbreaker is because we thought it...
