Group Blog

 For my music video project, I decided to work by myself. I chose to work by myself because I can always rely on myself to get things done. Working in a group can give me unnecessary stress. There are a handful of negatives to working in a group. I have to count on my groupmates to get their fair share of the work done. When my groupmates do not get it done, I have to take matters into my own hands. Another reason I chose to work alone is because I wanted to ensure that the quality of the work being done was good. People tend to put half effort into work or not put their best foot forward. Others just are not capable of creating good work. Then there are those who do not submit any work at all. This prevents any bad work from being put in the music video. The songs that I choose for my music video was Bye Bye Bye by *NSYNC, I Want It That Way by Backstreet Boys, and I Could Fall in Love by Selena. I chose these songs because I am a big Justin Timberlake fan. I also chose these songs because they are popular songs that a lot of people are familiar with. *NSYNC was a popular group in the 90s and early 2000s. Even though they disbanded over a decade ago people still listen to them to this day. I believe that the music video has a lot of inspiration for my own video. The video has a lot of different angles that I can implement in my own work. I want my music video to be the best that I can possibly do. I need it to be my own work.


This is why I chose to work alone.

Production Blog: Finishing Our Task

My partner and I decided we need to focus and get a huge portion our filming done. We watched over the scenes that we already filmed and were not impressed. We thought that we could easily do better. We decided that we should start over fresh. This time we entered more determined. Wanted to feel as if we were real actors. Once we started over, we tried to implement all our conventions. Our costumes were straight from our closets. We utilized different angles. We showed different camera movements. We even added the use of sounds. Our main prop which was a doll was designed to look like one of our actors. We wanted to make it seem as if the inanimate object came to life out of thin air. Scene by scene we got different shots in. There was one scene where the camera was moving following two characters. The person holding the camera alternated between the characters in the film. There were scenes that had to be shot twice due to the camera shaking in the hands of the cameraman. There were a...

Production Blog: Trying New Things

 After watching our work we compared it to other opening scenes. In popular horror films there are plenty elements that give it the suspenseful feeling. We decided to use another popular editing application. "iMovie" is exclusive to Apple devices. Although we have not used it in a long time, it is not something we are new to. We went through the same steps of editing on iMovie, but used different transitions and fonts. We found that one of the applications offered more effects than the other. We used the application that we found offered better effects for our genre. The application with more sudden transitions. The one that had a better color scheme. The one that was better for editing in general. We compared both of our final tasks. One of them was obviously better than the other. We ended up choosing the task done on Capcut. We felt the work done on it was more professional. This task would be more entertaining than the task done on iMovie.
