How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?

-  My product uses conventions by having on heavy display the song "Independent Women Pt. 1" and having the matching outfits and more. Things that bring in the idea of Destiny's Child as a group. Having little moments where we seem real close was important because Destiny's Child always came off as a sisterhood and nothing less. It represents the teen social group or just anyone that's a fan of Destiny's Child because it's a Destiny's Child song.

 How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text?

 - My product doesn't engage with any audiences because a music video very rarely does. If anything, the only way I can think of it engaging with an audience is maybe if we had incorporated "fans" into the video. A music video is usually all about the artist and their art. If this was a real media text, it would be distributed on Youtube and maybe even on TV because sometimes music videos come across there. 

    How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

 - My production skills didn't develop too much throughout this project just because I really had my learning experience on my last project. By watching my groupmates recording and asking questions definitely helped me. I also tried to get better angles and cleaner shots with this project because a music video is never supposed to be anything but clean but that's about it for me.

 How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?

 - Me and my groupmates did multiple videos but for mine, I filmed everything on my phone and then I sent the videos over to my email. Once I got them on my computer, I downloaded and uploaded them onto OpenShot. After I got them on the editing software, I lined up the videos in a way where it would make sense. Then I made sure the music video was a minute, no more or no less. The last thing I did was add music that matched the video and sent it to our group chat to be reviewed. I have the same process for every video because this is one of the only ways that's proved to be successful for me.

Genre Research: All the Bright Places

Image
  Welcome back to our next and final genre research movie. The movie we chose was All the Bright Places. The first thing we noticed about the opening sequence was the location since they were on a bridge.  The viewers can automatically assume that the bridge has some meaning to one of the main characters since she was standing on it. We want our location to have importance to the opening scene. We want people to be able to guess that the location holds an importance but not exactly what’s going to happen just by seeing the location. Viewers don’t learn the true meaning of the location in the opening sequence however they do learn the meaning of it by the first 10 minutes. Since we’ll only be filming the opening scene we will show the true meaning at the end. The opening scene only was at one location. It did go by fast but however our video will need more time to make sure the point goes through properly. The Mise-en-Scene matched perfectly. The male main character was se...

Planning for my music video

Image
  The next step of our project is planning .  T his is the time where we  think of which  conventions,   we  want to incorporate  and which ones  we will  le a ve out.  There  were a  lot of conventions   seen and noted . However, we can only fit so much into a minute-long vide o .    Props:  Since the song is about women getting  what they  desire  through their own  earnings, the  scene  where  we a re  at the mall  props such  as  money , shopping bags ,  and what we buy will be used. The ind ividual scene s   won’t  have props that go with the music ,  but   rather th e  actions  made   by each actor  will  be  a representation of the music.    Costumes:   We will be all dressed in different attire for our personal scenes.  But  there will be a point where we are all in o...
