Since the commercial is now done we can now start our new project. This project we are starting now is a music video. But things are a little different. Zeke and I decided to split groups with Roscoe and Paige. Paige and Roscoe usually got into a lot of arguments with us on what we wanted to do so we decided that it was best for us to split up. Now we also have a new addition to our group. We wanted to add Peter to our group because he was alone and he is a hard-worker so we wanted to partner with him. For this project, we have to create a one minute & 15-second music video. We are going to it in the alternative rock genre. We are also going to film outside of school so this genre works well with what we're trying to do.
The music video we are doing is The Plain White T's "Hey There Delilah". It is a good fit for this because we know a little about this song and this genre. Since this music video will be filmed outside of school we have a lot of creativity with this video. The song is about lovers who moved far away. We plan to make the music video similar to the real music video but not a carbon copy. We like the idea of the singer singing to his lover and the lover singing back in different frames.
Like I said before the song is apart of the genre alternative rock or "pop-rock". We've looked through many different pop-rock music videos and gathered information on some conventions. We've noticed a lot in the genre is that singers are singing to different people. With this most of the camera angles/ shots include but are not limited to, close-ups, tracking shots, establishing shots, eye level, and dutch shots. We also saw a lot of pan shots like flash pans, zooms, and tracking. The sound we found was pretty straight forward and a lot of singing. For editing, there were a lot of jump cuts and split screens. We also identified all the CLAMPS in this project.
1. Costumes- The costumes the used were usually suits, pants, and formal clothes.
2. Lighting- The lighting was very colorful or gloomy.
3. Actors- For actors, it was either the two people singing to each other or some background dancers.
4. Music- The music was the music the video was about.
5. Props- Depending on the settings props changed from guitars to beach balls or stools even. It was completely depended on the setting.
6 Setting- the rhythm of the song commonly decided the setting. The setting changed based on the speed or the meaning of the song.
