Our product, or music video, is about one character, G, who wants to be friends with two people, a duo, and stalks them until they get noticed. The product is based in the genre of alternative rock, as such it follows the conventions; however, with the song that has been chosen the genre changes slightly because the singer has a unique video presentation, so the group watched her videos and made the product reflect that. First, let me tell you the convections the group noticed from videos that have been watched. Lots of insert clips of the main character alone, where the character will be with the others before having another long, mostly just singing to the camera. It has a slightly gritter atmosphere, it is a lot cooler, blues and gray paint the screen and warm colors are often only used to show emotions like anger. Intense lighting, the lighting ...

Good morning and good evening! Here the final music video, finally, Happy Birthday to whoever's Birthday it is and enjoy your days. :)

     Good morning and good evening! I am in the final days of the video. It was given to the editor and the team agreed on transitions, and I can FINALLY relax. To be honest this has been weighing on my mind, I am worried about how this whole thing is going to go, but it has been taken out of my hands. Anything that can go wrong is officially not my fault. I like the song, I like the video, I like what the team has done so far, so I also trust them. What I have been worrying about is the film, like what if it corrupts? What id my teammates aren't happy with film like I am? Well, I have the shots. And they expressed their happiness with the shots, so they'll have to live. It also makes me feel better if I have contingencies for this thing, if I move through all my worries and make plans for them. If I could edit the video, I would probably put some translations that round the whole thing out, an intro and an outro. When I did edit it for a draft, it turned out- not the bes...

    Good morning and good evening! Now that I have finished with all the filming all the team has left is the editing. What I did right after filming is take all the clips, put them together and send them to the editor. This, ironically, is where I met the most problems. My preferred editing software, KineMaster, has a watermark when you upload a video. I forgot this and I had to redo the whole thing to put it in the corner so I was able to crop it. This took an embarrassing amount of time frankly, I am ashamed about it. Afterwards I did two things: I got a video of all the clips together with black screens in-between to make it easier to cut them out and edit. The second was get the clips individually. When I send it to my group mates some send it back just to see what it would look like I was very happy with the draft. When I watched the video, the group was talking about the coloring the video would have. I wanted to do a cooler green tone while someone wanted red and ...

    Good morning and good evening! Today the group has finished filming, now all we have left is the final editing. I am really happy with how this turned out. I was able to do the angles and lights correctly, thank god. Sadly, like last time some people weren't able to come HOWEVER I planned for this and it worked out. I had so much fun filming, I love my group mates and I am happy with how this all turned out. Can some things be better? Well yes, I always aim to improve and I could ALWAYS nitpick everything I do, but I am happy with it so far. My group mates are all understanding to my concerns and things I wanted to change during filming and I am very glad none of my concerns were dismissed or discarded. I don't want to spoil the ending we choice to do so I'm not talking about it, which is why I am being so vague. I know I'm talking about everything that went well but there was one problem. Me and my teammates all went back and forth on whether the main character, G,...

    Good morning and good evening! During the past week me and my team have filmed the mall scenes. As I said before, I am the director so while I didn't do as much as my teammates I still did A LOT. I went to Galleria mall at 12:30 as planned and got food until I saw the others. Afterwards I showed everyone the plan again and I got everyone into positions. I showed my teammates the poses or general things they needed to do and then I set up the camera. I did this for multiple scenes. I did run into some problems, the lighting, not being able to get the angle I needed, but I was able to work through all those problems. My teammates have a plan to put caption on the video for talking, I, on the other hand, am a little hesitant about it, but everyone else agreed so I will probably allow it for happen. While I was filming I had headphones on to have everything match the music. This is based off a girls normal life with G watching her so I had to make sure some scenes had lot...

    Good morning and good evening! Have you ever looked at something you were making and though "I have no idea HOW I'm going to do this"? Well that's what I've been doing for the past few days. I have been thinking about how I'm going to 'direct' this. Where is the framing going to be? how should this be edited? Thing's akin to that. I have a plan/storyboard for what BEATS I want to achieve but so much less of the how, so I've been going through this really slowly. What am I going to film on? Apple seems to have the best camera, especially if someone's filming within another app, so probably a apple phone. How do I want to film? Well, I'm going to use lots of angles to express how G (the main character) feels about the friend group but I'm also going to going try to put G in shadows even though he's wearing white (and vice versa for the friend group). What will the transitions be? I actually want to leave all the transition up ...
