Critical Creative Reflection

https://docs.google.com/document/d/168j4e2MNVICK0zIrC-4wcAcNUjerzV0YIkHgnG3vfCk/edit?usp=sharing 1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? I made a conscious effort to both follow and deviate from accepted conventions in the selected media when developing my project. Traditionally, music videos for this genre often focus on the artist's experiences or a fictional narrative. In contrast, this video challenges the convention by centering around real-life moments of joy and camaraderie among friends. This duality accomplished two goals at once: it gave the viewer a sense of familiarity while introducing unexpected and creative features. Moreover, the representation of social groups and issues was a paramount consideration throughout the creative process. The representation of social groups in our video becomes personal and relatable. Instead of relying on professional actors or staged scenarios, our video displays aut...

production blog- finished the music video

Hey blog. I wrapped up filming with my squad. We still need to address a few issues. However, it's actually quite nice even without the editing. As the actors, me and my friends performed superbly.  Dakota will be doing an amazing job with the editing. The editing will probably be the most difficult aspect. The sequences will have to be agreed upon by all of us. The transitions must be chosen by us. We could include a few features. The hardest sounds will be the background ones. How we're going cut out background noise is beyond me. However, our agreement on the filming went really well. Such as the perspectives and photos. As well as the subject matter of the video. And who works at what position. I realize I say this a lot. However, I can't wait for you to see the music video. Seeing the culmination of all of our hard work excites me much. I sincerely hope it all works out. I also wish you pleasure in it. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it.

production blog- how we will edit

Image
 Welcome back blog. Have you ever heard about cap cut. Well that is what we will be using to edit this music video. I used cap cut for my last project. I didn't really know what I was doing though. At first I was so confused. But eventually it got easier. I asked a few friends and watched some YouTube video's on how it works. Once I finished that project I was more comfortable with it. So now about how we will do this project. After we have all the videos recorded we will have to edit. We will probably record multiple times for one scene to get the perfect one. The once we have the perfect video. We can start with the transitions. The transitions will make the video look better. It will have the viewers see the different shots and angels needed. Once I finished all the edits I watched it again. I had to check for any little mistakes. We made a few touchups but other than that it was pretty good. Once it was perfect I added our song. I had to make sure the clips lined up with th...

It is all about capturing the artists vision and bringing their song to life. The location chosen for filming can give the overall vibe of the music video.

production blog- changing up the scenes

Image
Hey blog. My group and I were talking. We decided to change a few things. Our scenes wont be the same as what we put in the storyboard. These new scenes will be shorter. It will include me and my friends doing random stuff. There will still be a scene with water balloons. And one of us eating fast food. The scenes of us in the car driving around will still be there. And maybe on the beach. If we have any time to back and film that one. There is a new one of us in the pool. we filmed one of my friends playing basketball. We also took a shot of me and my friends playing tag and running around. Thee is one funny one of us talking to animals. There is a scene of us biking around. We have 100 seconds of recorded now. So we have more then enough for our music video. As I edit I will have to be cutting some scenes out. Or just making the long ones shorter. This took a long time. I cant wait for the final product. I hope you enjoy it. Talk to you soon.

Hey blog. My group and I don't know exactly where we will be filming yet. But we have some ideas. A few of our scenes will be at the beach. Some will be in the water. Some will be on the sand. Or us walking along the beach. There will be some of us in the car. Most likely just driving around. We just want the music video to be random stuff. Like throwing water balloons or just running around. A lot of our friends will be included in this. Me and my partner Dakota will be trading off jobs. One of will film some parts of the video while the other one is being one of the actors. Or one of us will be editing and the other will be looking through the scenes we filmed and find the perfect one. We will have to film the same scenes probably multiple times to get the perfect one. There will be 12 different scenes in our video. So this will be a long process. It will be fun to do this with our friends. Well i am out of things to talk about today. Talk to you soon blog.
