Research blog: Music Video Conventions

Image
 In the Indie/Alternative genre of music videos, conventions are varied. In this genre there are sometimes cartoon illustrations and shining colors. In most of the music videos I've watched of this genre, I've noticed that there are always contrasting filters. In some parts of the videos there and black and white filters or vintage filters. These filters work to signify simplicity and establish moods in each scene. Most music videos started out in a dark space and then as the video progressed, the scene get brighter and more complex. They are often filmed in multiple locations to set each scene in the way that the lyrics portray. The camera is almost always following its subject and in most videos it is filmed like a story being told. Sometimes the subject is silent through the video, not lip-syncing. There may be reflective surfaces like mirrored walls to make the space look small and cozy, or there could be a large field, to have a freeing setting. There is almost always non-...

Letting my peers review my opening sequence

Image
 So, after completely finishing filming and editing my video, I've let my peer review it. I've had peers that are in the class review it, as well as my family. After hearing their thoughts on the video, I then tweaked my final product a bit. Between everyone whose watched the video, I've had mixed reviews. Let’s start with my mother. While my mother has no bad things to say about the opening, others had a few critiques. My mother has no real knowledge on what to look for in the sequence, so this was expected. But, she was helpful in letting me know if the video flowed nicely. Others in my family also let me know if the opening flowed well. They are real movie watchers so they somewhat knew what to look for in an opening. They let me know that what I’d had was well put after a few tweaks. After I let my family view the opening, I then let my peers view it. Most of them being in media studies with me. Because they have knowledge of what the video is supposed to look like, the...

My Commercial

Image
This was my first ever major project that I've put together. It was a fun and rewarding experience to see my eyelash commercial start from just an idea in my head to actually filming and editing it. I truly loved the concept of actually finishing something and being proud of it in the end. The process of storyboarding was probably one of my favorite parts in this entire project. I have never actually put my ideas on paper before trying to convey it to others. I can say that storyboard really took away some of my indecisiveness and it was one less thing I had to worry about because I filmed everything based off of it. Although I can look back a see some things I could have done better, I am content with what I've done. I've certainly learned that patience is key in the producing process. When I first came up with my concept for my eyelash commercial, I initially had the idea to use one of my family members as my subject. However, when I realized that my overbearing side woul...
