Planning My Music Video

 Props:

Since I have decided to do a RnB music video, to the song Miss Independent by Ne-Yo, my props will probably include a car, a book/binder, tables and chairs, a desk, business products, and maybe more. These are all of the props for now.

Costumes:

In my commercial, I will have 2 characters. The first main character will be a woman and the song will be surrounded around her. The second main character will be the love interest that is trying to get the woman’s attention. They both will be wearing some sort of business attire or just dressy clothes in general. I want the woman to maybe wear a pencil skirt or maybe just dressy pants with a business top or dressy top with sandals, maybe heels, it just depends. I want the man to wear a suit or a dressy shirt with dark jeans and dress shoes.

Here are some examples of how I would like the costumes to look.

Schedule:

On 11/13/2021-11/15/2021, I will research music videos, including RnB ones and especially the music video of the song I will be doing.

On 11/16/2021, I will establish and figure out the props, costumes, schedule, location list, and backup plan.

On 11/17/2021-11/19/2021, I will create the storyboard for the music video.

On 11/19/2021-11/29/2021, I will begin filming and recording the necessary shots and clips for the music video.

On 11/30/2021-12/05/2021, I will film and record extra clips that were missed during the original filming days.

On 12/06/2021-12/12/2021, I will edit and add any final touches to the music video to make sure that it’s perfect.

Location List:

The main location for the commercial will be my house’s office area. This will help put emphasis on the fact that the woman is all about her business and is focused.

The second location for the commercial will be my personal bedroom. My bedroom will help put emphasis on the woman's business by showing off what type of business she’s in and what she sells. 

Backup Plan(s):

If my house is busy and just has a lot going on to the point where I cannot film there, I will work outside of my house, probably right on my patio or I will go the beach as well.

If one of my actors are absent due to them being sick or personal reasons, I will take a day outside of school to work with them or I will have to find a replacement actor if they are unable to meet with me outside of school. If one of my crew members are absent, one of the actors or one of my family members will take over their position to help me finish filming and recording.

Genre Research Blog: Comedy

The third genre that my group will be researching is comedy.  Lighting used in comedic movies usually are three-point, high key, and low key lighting. The lighting is used to set the mood of the scenes and match the settings as well. For example, if someone is at a party, they will most likely use low key lighting to portray the fact that the characters are at a party. Camera angles most used in comedy films are high angles, low angles, and dutch angles. The low angle is used to make the person appear more dominate over someone or something. High angles are used to do the exact opposite of what low angle does for the actor. High angle makes the actor appear more vulnerable or make it known that there is something or someone higher or above the actor. Dutch angles are used to add an dramatic effect to either a confusing or awkward situation. Camera movements used in comedy films are pan, tilt, handheld, zooms and steadicams. These movements are all used to further emphasize the mood in

Production Blog: Filming

Image
The filming process for this music video was a long one. I decided that I wanted to make changes to the plot of the music video right before I started filming and everything. While filming, I made an accident and followed my storyboard. Then I realized later on that my storyboard was not what I was supposed to be following. I was supposed to follow the changes that I had written down in my "Notes" app on my phone. So once I realized that, I went ahead and made more storage on my filming device. My filming device was just my cell phone. But, I cleared storage by just simply permanently deleting the takes that I didn't need since the plot changed. So while filming, I came across some troubles. Since I was the main character, some times I couldn't make shots the way I wanted to. But, of I had a backup plan. I had to finesse it in one way or another so I had to go ahead and use my backup plan. My backup cameraman was my little sister. Thankfully she was able to help me. I
