Introduction to the Music Video Project


 I am so excited to start this new project. I love being creative so this allows me to think beyond my wildest dreams. Making a music video has been a task I’ve wanted to do for a long time now. So, this project is perfect. 

I’ve decided to work by myself for this project. I feel as if I can be at my most creative state when working alone. However, for the filming portion I will have some friends be in the actual video. I can be in full control and make my imagination come to life. 

I chose the song “7 rings” by Ariana Grande. I wanted a very upbeat song that I could easily use one minute of. Also, I made sure that the song I chose would be able to tell a story. I want the audience to feel line they’re being taken into this new world and experience it with the main actor in the video. It will have a “Alice in Wonderland” when she first gets to Wonderland feel. The feelings of confusion yet intriguing energy will be present. 

High angles, close-ups, and low shots etc. will be greatly incorporated into the video as they play a key role. Every scene that I film will have a clear motive to it. 

All in all, I am just itching to get started with this process. Never less, to see the outcome of it all. It will be great. Mark my words!

Production Blog- Second day of fliming

Image
     My group and I began day two of filming today. We had intended on filming the vehicle and car crash scenes. We knew we had to film them strategically to ensure the safety of ourselves and our surroundings. Due to our scenes repeating, recording each part various times was crucial. We started by recording each part separately then compared them afterward. This made the process smoother since the entire scene was already set. This included the clothing, sets, and proper lighting. Much like the first day, we started to run into some problems. For the majority of our time, everything was running smoothly. However, the weather began to work against us. In some parts, the wind was too active which messed with the audio. Most of the dialogue was washed out so we couldn't really hear. Just before we thought it couldn't get worse... it got worse. Clouds started to form and sooner than later we were forced indoors. Due to this, we were unable to film the car crash. Yet, we used this

Production Blog- Post Card

Image
Due to my absence from school, my group stepped in to complete the postcard. A postcard is a physical or digital small form of advertisement. There is usually a front and back. The theme of the postcard usually matches the genre of the media. In our case: Mystery. The title of our short film is "Wednesday Drive." To get that point across to our viewers, we need to include a car of some sort onto the postcard. After a few website searches for the car in motion, we finally found the right one. The picture we used portrays a car driving fast. Due to the focus of the photo, you can sense the speed is above the speed limit. This plant's images in your mind of what is to come next. Will the driver into a car accident, will they get pulled over. Thus, leaving you wanting more. On the front of our postcard, we also include the showtimes, address, a QR code to the website, and our social media. Every important piece of information the audience may need is right on the card.

A Level: Group Blog

Hi! Dru here. As you know, last year for my final task I chose to work alone. Due to covid and time conflicts. However, for my  A level final task I will be grouping up with 2 other people: S and Vanessa G. I am excited to be able to group up rather than work alone. This will help make the process a little easier. We all have different experiences and thoughts so the final product will be a reflection of that.  We plan on brainstorming first. Then, planning the rest of our events. Such as who is filming, acting, and editing. When we choose to meet and themes. I chose to work with these people because we already are comfortable with each other and are hard workers. We are all really passionate in making this the best.  We knew we were going to group up from the start. So I am really glad it all worked out. This will be not only be great quality, but we will also have fun doing it. Having fun is a big part of group projects. If none of you are having fun then it will reflect on your prod
