Recovering from the commercial, i was able to grow so much as an actor and video editor. The recording process was the most successful because our group was ready and eager in having some good footage. The attire and location was very important as well. In pinnacle studios, i believed i was able to try the many buttons and options in this application. I believe this was the stage that I was confused about the most in. I knew how to import and export however, the cutting process took a while. I also was unsure about getting the music to play when I wanted it to.
Today in class we chose our song. The song were choosing is “No Fear” by Dej Loaf. We are planning to go to different sceneries. The song is an upbeat song that has good vibes. In our video, we’re going to do things that we enjoy. We plan to go to the beach, and do a car ride, get ice cream and just fun things in general. Our main goal is to have a very good time in the video to best match the music.
Hip hop/ Rap is the most common genre in music and is being played on repeat on our radios. The genre has so many elements to it, to the point where there are over twenty other smaller genres in this hip hop/ Rap genre; Small genres such as lyrical rap and alternative rap was exhibited through our song “No Fear”.
When it comes to the camera angles in the music videos it’s very common to see low angles, long shot, and Dutch. The establishing shot and tracking shot is used in every music video as well as medium long shot.
The music video itself has a lot of sound but there are things that go on beyond that for the whole video to come to life such as non-diegetic sound, sound bridge, and dialogue.
The editing part of the music videos are very creative, i see a lot of cross cutting, eye-line match, and action match. The most popular editing is graphic match when scenes are matching with each other.
There is also mis-en-scene that goes into making the whole video and it includes things like #1 the genre ; In genre's with hip hop/rap the kind of costumes that they wear are things that are popular at the moment so it can be things like designer outfits (Balenciaga, Christian Louboutin) with accessories such as big chains and shades.
2. The lighting in the music videos are usually dark and flashy lights since they shoot the videos in a house. They also tend to switch scenes and go outside to shoot their videos as well so natural light from the sun is also used
3. Most of the time in music videos it’s usually the artist just singing the song but sometimes there is acting i realized that it usually has to deal with someone being in character and talking on the phone or even acting as if they are having a dance battle like in Chris brown no guidance.
4.As i look closer i notice that everyone does have on makeup but it tend to always be a nice natural look nothing too crazy.
5. To spice everything up props that are commonly used are cars and stacks of money
6. When researching I noticed a lot of the same settings but some were really different it varied from roof tops, houses, hotels, and some even on train tracks or in the middle of nowhere on an open road but, most were in an urban setting living the “lavish” lifestyle
