Planning for my Music Video

-
Song Title: The title of the song I will use in my project is “Umbrella” by Rihanna featuring Jay-Z. Props: The only prop I will use in my video is an umbrella. Costumes: The lead who will play Rihanna will wear three different outfits. The first outfit will include a black hat and a black one piece. The second outfit will include a sparkle/sequin/glitter top and black bottoms. The third outfit will include a white tank top, a mint green tie and white bottoms. The backup dancers will all wear black hoodies/jackets and black bottoms. Schedule: I will have completed my intro blog by 11/13/20. I will research conventions of pop style music videos by 11/17/20. I will establish the song title, props, costumes, schedule, location, and a backup plan by 11/17/20. I will create a storyboard (12 boxes) for my commercial by 11/20/20. I will explain what I did during the filming process and what I encountered by 11/30/20. I will complete either a filming or editing blog by 12/3/20. I will explain what I did during the editing process by 12/7/20. I will upload my music video to youtube and embed it into my blog by 12/8/20. I will answer my critical reflection questions by 12/11/20. Location: I will record my entire music video at my house. Some scenes will be filmed in my living room, dining room, hallway and outside of my house. If I record outside I would want to record while it is raining. Back Up Plan: If it does not rain or the wind is too strong and it’s raining too hard then I will just record all my scenes indoors. There also may need to be some outfits changes but other than that everything else should work out.

I was supposed to record scenes 5 and 6 this weekend but due to the weather I was unable to.  It was raining all day on Saturday, so I did not record the scene that day because the roads were slippery and I was prioritizing my safety. Then on Sunday, my parents weren't available to film from the passenger seat that day. And my permit requires me to be accompanied by a driver who is at least 21 years old in the passenger seat while driving. So I hope that I'll be able to film scenes 5 and 6 some time this week, maybe Thursday or Saturday I'm not quite sure yet. I'm just trying to get these two specific scenes filmed as soon as I possibly can be I do believe that they'll be the most difficult to film. I was also trying to film scene 7 on Friday but I couldn't because I needed to move the couch to in front of the tv. But I couldn't because the living room space was pretty crowded with just large boxes so I decided to hold off on filming that scene until this sp...

Title Research: Insidious

The titles displayed during the opening sequence include the name of the studio and production company. Next the film displays the actor names, film title, casting by, music by, costume designer, edited by, production designer, and director of photography title. The next titles shown are the produced by, executive producers, written by, and directed by titles. The image of the boy sleeping in bed is prioritized. The image of a demon's face is also prioritized. Images of their living room with moving boxes is also prioritized. Then images of the stair case is prioritized.  An image of a baby's crib in a room is also shown. The image of the boy was one of the first images shown, and was prioritized probably because he's going to be victim or a main character. Then prioritizing the demon's face reveals who the villain is and that there may be people getting possessed in the movie. The image of their living room with the moving boxes is probably to give the audience an idea...

Production Blog-Filming

In my previous blog I got a majority of the props I need for my film. I was only missing a picture fame and I finally got it over the weekend. So let's rewind to last week, when I filmed scenes 1, 2, 3, and 4. Scenes 1 through 4 Ashlynn, the older sister, only wore one costume. On the other hand Rena, the younger sister, changed costumes in scene 3. Filming the first scene went pretty smoothly overall. Scene 2 took a long time to record because we had to restart multiple times to reshoot. In scene 2, my sister and I often had to refer back to the script. Scenes 3 and 4 were pretty easy to film and didn't take too many tries. One of the biggest problems I faced while filming was trying to avoid the director from being seen in the mirror or showing the camera. My sister who helped me with directing also had this problem where it was hard to avoid being seen in the mirror. Like for the title slide background with me in it, it was supposed to be a over the shoulder shot. But this w...
