Planning for my Music Video

Song Title:
The song I've chosen is My Future by Billie Eilish.

Props:
As for props, they may change over the course of filming based on what looks best. As for now, I will use the LED lights and a 'galaxy' light I have in order to stay loyal to some conventions I've researched. Also, I will be using a mirror and a hairbrush. (Again, these things may change and I will document that need be.)

Costumes:
As for costumes, there will be business casual clothing in some scenes and pajamas in other scenes.

Location:
Everything will be filmed inside of my house.

Sets:
Most of the scenes will be filmed inside of my room. If it meets the time requirements, I will branch out to other places in the house, such as the kitchen, bathroom, and/or the living room.

Schedule:
11/13: I've researched conventions for my genre. I will take into account which conventions I will use in the production process, as well as the ones I will challenge.

11/16-11/17: I will formally plan for my music video and pull together ideas to make my video visually appealing.

11/19-11/20: I will storyboard each part of my music video. This is where I will chop up the time slots to make sure everything flows smoothly when filming and editing. Something I've learned from my last project when I had trouble with the duration.

11/21-11/29: Between these times I will work out when the people in my video will be free to film. Here, I will make sure all shots are under the correct duration and re-film if needed. 

12/1-12/6: I will edit the video to my liking.

Backup Plan:
If there's something wrong where I can't use the song I've chosen, I will then use Eternal Sunshine by Jhene Aiko. I will re-storyboard and film my mother doing things she loves, in short segments, showcasing the things she loves in life. This would of ours go with the song, since the main lyrics are about the "good things" in life.  Also, if my friend isn't free to be in my video, I will figure out a way to have my mom film me as a replacement for the shots she was supposed to be in.



See you in the next one!

Editing Blog: My struggles with music & duration

Image
Editing is not my absolute favorite part of filmmaking as of now. I only say this because I'm not very good at it yet and that bothers me. When I watch movies made by famous filmmakers I'm always quick to appreciate its editing. But, after editing a project myself, I understand how hard editing can be. However, editing my Kiss eyelashes commercial was admittedly, not as hard as I first thought it would be. When I get to do more projects like this, I think I'll learn to love it. The only difficultly I encountered was finding the perfect music that would match the theme of my commercial as well as getting the duration of the film right. I had trouble finding the right music because I just felt like any song I'd pick would be insufficient. I looked up songs of all decades. From Aretha Franklin's "Baby Baby Baby" to Beyonce's "Independent Woman." While there were many songs that I were eager to use, none of them felt right to put into a commercia...

Finding props for the final task

Image
 My next task is to find props for the final task. The main thing I had to get was a few photo copies from my local Walgreens. Minor things I had to get were cereal boxes, picture frames, etc. As for the photo copies, there was a bit of difficulty finding a place to print them. Before I learned that I could print them at a convenience store, I had no idea where to go. First, I tried printing them at my house. But, on regular printer paper. This was a total fail. My printer barely had any colored ink and the picture came out black and white. It also came out with very low quality and very pixelated. So, I had to do a bit of searching on the internet. I needed to find out where I could get the best quality pictures for a low price. I went on a few websites, but all of the pricing was too high. Then i went looking in my local area. That’s when I found out that a store not too far away from my house. They had exactly what I needed for the final task. I found everything I was looking fo...

Intro Blog

 Hello to anyone out there reading this. My name is Taelor Barnes and I am a 16 year old. I have an older sister and a dog that has grew up with me since my parents first got her when I was 6. Academically, I am in the eleventh grade at Fort Lauderdale high school. Since ninth grade I have been waiting to take this class; it is one of the most intriguing courses I've heard about and discussed with my guidance counselor. Many of my friends have taken it in prior to the 2020/2021 school year and they have only had good things to say about it. In my previous high school years, I haven't had the chance to take this class due to my hectic schedule.  I am taking this class because I have always been interested in film and media. Ever since I could understand and interpret movies, I have been obsessed with knowing everything about them. Even with professional photography alteration, I think I may just be a tiny bit more analytical than the average person. I hyper fixate on many diffe...
