Film Day!

    The day is finally here, it is time to film!!! My group filmed our music video on December 11, 2022. While the day was switched a few times it finally arrived and we were filming the music video to 'Save Your Tears- The Weekend (Ft. Ariana Grande(Remix)). Our setting for the film was discussed, initially, we talked about filming at a local mall. However, after reviewing the plot and story we tried to tell it was decided that the mall didn't fit the video. So we ended up deciding to film at a local park. We made sure our park had a nice range of scenery. Some of the elements we needed the park to have where at least one bench and we wanted some sort of nature trail. We decided to film on the morning of December 11th at 11:30 however we had a change of plans and decided to meet around 12:00 pm. Once we arrived I got right to work this started by getting all of our equipment out of the car. We found a picnic table which became our meeting point during our filming. I went ahead and went to go take some scenic shots for transitions and other footage. I also was focused on finding different places I thought were good for the video. After filming the scenic scenes it was time to get to work I was the main videographer for most of the video. I also helped direct the actors and ensure we had good lighting/ video quality. Our first scene shows our actors on a bench so I had them sit and started playing the music it took several takes to get it just right. Next, we followed the actors as they look into the water as a happy couple. This is where our video takes the turn it shows one actor being sneaky on the phone and the female actor becomes upset and the argument erupts. The camera follows the female actor as she storms off and throws our prop flowers on the floor. The video continues to show the male actor searching and trying to win his girlfriend back. He eventually finds her and they make up and leave holding hands.

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...
