Planning For My Music Video

After finishing the research, we have decided the best theme for our music video is a pop song theme. We decided that plan A is to do the pop song “Party in the USA”. This was sung by Miley Cyrus when she was younger, and it was in 2009. For now, we have a long list of props we plan to use. We plan to start with a scene at the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. There we will do a scene where we pick up Sean from the airport. We will be using a car and a suitcase as our props. When he exits the airport Julie will put his bag in the trunk and then we will do a group hug welcoming him as if we have not seen him in a long time. When Julie puts the bag in the trunk, we will show that we have a picnic basket for lunch in the trunk. Then while driving back from the airport we will have a scene of the three of us partying in the car, jamming out to some music. We will drive to the beach and have lunch from the picnic basket that was seen at the start of the video. We will also grab stuff out of a cooler to show it is hot outside. After we eat lunch, we are going to use a jump cut to swap from us in normal clothes to us in swimsuits. After we change into our swimsuits we will run into the ocean and swim. After we swim, we will drive Sean back to the airport to show him going back out of town. Just like in the first scene, we will give him a hug goodbye and take the suitcase out of the trunk. 

 

Here is a breakdown of CLAMPS: 

  • Costumes- Ponytail, sunglasses, hats, sorority girl outfit, fraternity guy outfit, swimsuit, and travel outfit 
  • Lighting- Morning light, sunlight at noon, and sundown lighting. 
  • Actions- Driving, swimming, eating, dancing, and partying. 
  • Makeup- N/A 
  • Props- Suitcase, drinks, car, speaker, towel, ball, and cooler. 
  • Setting- Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport and the beach. 


The schedule we are planning to follow to finish this project on time goes like this: 

  • 11/19 - Storyboard Blog Due 
  • 11/20-11/28 - Filming 
  • 11/29-12/10 - Production Blogs Due 
  • 12/13 - Project Due 
  • 12/17 - CCR/Midterm Due 


Backup Plan: 

We have a few backup plans as a group in case something happens. We have multiple days available for filming in case the weather or lighting is not good for filming outside at the beach. Another backup plan we came up with is to go to the FLL Airport in case the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport is too busy or not busy enough for what we want to show. Another big backup plan we have come up with is to swap to Christmas music if we need to because the pop song isn’t working or it is supposed to rain every day of filming. The last backup plan we came up with is to go to the Fort Lauderdale beach in the case that the beach we want to go to is having issues.

My First Experience Making A Commercial

Image
  Name: Beckett Brand___   Creative Critical Reflection 1.                 How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? Our product challenges social conventions because it shows that even if you’re not playing sports and being athletic you can still find a use for Nike products. By showing people just doing everyday things like homework ad walking around we show how Nike products are useful for everyday activities. I also show how it relates to athletic and sporty people by showing shots of people playing sports in their Nike attire. It also represents social groups as it shows groups of people playing sports and the groups of people doing everyday things. It also shows how girls can do anything guys can by having a mix of men and women in our commercials.   2. How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media t...

Starting To Edit

Image
 I started by downloading an app that could edit all the clips together and add smooth transitions. The app I decided to use to edit is called iMovie and it is a very popular editing app. I started by importing all of the shots that we had into the app. From there I also grabbed the 'Just Do It' Nike logo and put that at the end of all the other shots. From there I watched a few videos on how to use the app. The videos showed me how to import music over the commercial and get rid of any current sound. It also showed me where the transitions were and how to do them. Now that I knew how to use transitions I could get started. I started by showing the shot where we graded an assignment and put a checkmark on it that looked like the Nike logo. I then zoomed in further on the checkmark than in the actual recording to make it bigger and more central in the shot. After that, I transitioned the big checkmark on the paper into the one on the soccer player's shirt. Then I played the ...

Helping Out Rashell And Filming Our Last Scenes

Image
 Today while filming we went outside again like during the first day. While outside we helped film for another group that only had one person so that could not film and act at the same time. While people from my group acted I helped with the camera and filmed it. The main shot we did was a shot of one of us running on the track reaching the end and then drinking from a water bottle. To create this shot we borrowed a block from the track and field team. Then one of us launched off of it and ran down the track for a few seconds. While they were running I was holding the camera chasing after them to show them running. Then they grabbed the water bottle and took a big drink from it. While they were drinking I zoomed in on the logo that the ad was for. The ad was for Zephyrhills and was supposed to show how athletic people only drink their products. We also filmed the final scene for our group. It was actually the first scene in the commercial but it was filmed last because it was the o...
