Hey y'all! Today we are starting a new production process for a music video. I am really excited for this entire process because I love watching music videos. Every aspect about making music videos is elating for me, since it's such a creative process. There are so many elements to a music video such as: the story, dancers, costumes, hair, makeup, setting, and filming.  I feel like this production process will be more stimulating because anything that requires me to be creative is enjoyable. I decided to complete this process on my own since I rather move on my on pace. Having partners would make the workload easier since it can be divided up. However, I rather have the secureness of knowing that I will finish my work accurately when the time comes. Some people might think I am crazy for giving myself more work, although I think taking the easy route is not always the best decision. Now, for my music video song choice, I want it to tell a story. I am not hundred percent sure on what the story's central message is going to be. Which is why, I am starting off with choosing songs that I enjoy. I started going through my afrobeat and dancehall playlist because I enjoy more upbeat music. However, It was hard to find songs that told an appropriate story that I would want to share and had a upbeat tempo. In which, persuaded myself to find songs that are more in the Hip-Hop and R&B genre of music. I found a song called On My Mama by Victoria Monet. I liked this song since I can visualize a story plot for this music video based off the lyrics in the song. Also, the song has a nice beat and I am interested in having some choreography in my music video. I am not completely certain on this song choice. I know during the rest of this entire process I will either find a better choice or figure out what I am going to do with this song choice. Well, that is it for today!


Bye, Pookieees!

  Hey y'all! Today I will be analyzing and researching different title sequences for my final task. Title sequences are important for films because they set the tone for the film. These opening sequences usually set the mood that the director wants to convey to the audience. For this reason, I decided to research more on title sequences because this is very important and helpful. Instead of trying to watch a plethora of movies on different streaming platforms, I chose one website that can do it all. This website is called, "Art of the Title Website", and it allows myself to research different title sequences with ease. The 'Art of the Title Website' provides you with different genres, the website is free to use, and extremely easy to navigate. I decided from all of these reasons that this will be the website that I will be using to do my research. I can not wait to learn more about making a title sequence. Well, that is it for today!   Bye, Pookieess!

  Hey y'all! I have more information about my production process. Today the filming process was a lot harder than I thought. I was not able to record at one of the clubs that I attended but that was it. Now, my vision of revealing my busy life is starting to become more difficult than I imagined. However, I am going to keep advancing with my idea. My main goal for this production day was to take some relatable pictures for my commercial. First, I decided to take some pictures with my siblings. I snapped pictures with my siblings separately and together at a wide shot. The wide shot is a type of camera shot that completely shows a character or a group of characters within the frame. I decided to take wide and close up shots with my friends and other activities that I attended. I am not hundred percent certain on using all of these shots and pictures in my actual commercial. Which is why I can not wait to start editing to see the final results of my commercial. Additionally, I record...

  Hey y'all! Today I have decided to start my production process. I started planning out where and who I wanted to film with. Prior too, I knew that I wanted to film with my siblings and friends. My main focus was the type of angles and shots that I would record. During my planning and researching time, I created  some ideas to match my concept for this commercial. This commercial is supposed to display the chaotic perspective that I have of my life. Similar to a day in my life video. Which is why, I decided to record a tracking shot. The tracking shot follows a subject through a scene and reveals the scenery. One of the ideas that I decided to film, was myself running to class because I do not want to be tardy. I asked one of my friends to record me running or quickly walking to class. This scene was kind of hard to record since I actually did not want to be late to class. However, with filming this shot, I had to record multiple takes. My main desire for this shot was the ba...
