Conventions blog MV

 Since the last project with the commercial we have started to plan our music video. With the camera and editing skills we learned last time we can use them to help us with this project. We want to have some kind of slow-mo action and use a lot of close ups and medium shots. This will add to the dramatic effect and will show the lyrics in the video. I will go home and do some more research on different camera angles and effects so I can be more helpful in my part. The storyboarding part last time didn’t go to plan since I wasn’t there when my group filmed. But this time I will be there for the entire project and be able to hopefully put the storyboard into action. We are going to use a song that has a story behind, but we only get to have 1 minute and 15seconds of that song.So we are going to have to make our decision count. If we decide that the song is no good or we don’t have enough people or props we will change the song.

 The song we are going to use for now is “Creep” by Radiohead. It is a depressing song about a lovestruck boy who likes a girl.The problem is the boy thinks she is a beautiful being and that he is worthless and hideous aka a creep. This is what we think the song is about and how we interpret. The song is in the classic rock genre and was made in 1992.  We are going to have the boy be watching the girl and sing while there are flashbacks and shots of his fantasy of her and him together. The costume part will be casual or student clothes and also a dress and tux for the flashbacks and fantasy parts. This will create the affect that he is a young boy with troubles on talking to girls. Also will show they are both still in school.The lighting will be kind of gray lighting like cloudy on the boy and then sunny on the girl. The lighting will show how they feel and show there emotion. Cloudy being the depressed and sad person and sunny is the joyful and spirited person.

  For actors we will have jack be the boy Aka the Creep and also we will have a girl not sure who to be the girl Aka the angel. We will have other people to be the friends or friend group for the girl. For makeup we won’t have any only for the girl. The lighting will do most of the affects and show the emotion of the characters. For props it will be items like flowers and rain. This will help develop the mood and dialogue of hw characters. The setting will be at a park or in a felid to have the boy watch the girl behind a tree or something. Shows how the creep is deciding wether or not to do something.
