AICE Media Studies

This shot is used because it shows the entire area that the actor is in and allows us to get the point across to the viewer. We chose to do this for this scene because it brings what the lyrics in the song are into a video format.  Scene 2: During this scene, a close up shot of a girl shows to represent the girl that the actor in the previous scene had a strange dream about. The location for it will be a park to film the parts where it shows the girl that the actor is dreaming about. We chose to do this for this scene so that the reader can understand the person that the main actor is talking about. An example of editing in this scene will be a fade in from scene 1 and fade out into scene 3. Scene 3: A fade in introduces this scene into a medium wide shot of the actor on a paddleboard in his

Planning Blog  Props:  In our music video we will use props to show meanings of the song to the viewer. The meaning of the song is a romantic relationship so we will use flowers, messages, and hearts to represent that. We will also use boats and cars to display meaning that certain lyrics in the song have to get that point across.  Costume:   In our commercial, our costumes will resemble ones that were used in other pop music videos. This will include trendy new fashion along with some old retro design to link back with our song. Accessories such as watches, rings, necklaces will all be used during our commercial to link back to the historical parts of the song and catch the viewers attention.

Research  My partner and I decided to choose the song “Break my Stride” by Matthew Wilder as our song choice. Usually in music videos with a similar genre to my song, they all show people moving about doing things such as: dancing, jumping, and singing. Music is used in other music videos to demonstrate the audio for the viewer. In this case it is an upbeat sound.

Today in class I was assigned to film a music video with a group. I was happy to hear this because I love listening to music. I had no idea what song I was going to use for it or who I was going to work with. After deciding to not continue working with the same people I did last time because I wanted to work with someone new. I went and looked for someone new to work with. After I asked a few people I found someone that was wanting to work with me. I felt that working with someone new could give me a new perspective on how other people work and could give me tips on what can be done with this project. It would also let me bond with someone else and be able to make a new friend. After we decided that we would work together, we then started to figure out what song we wanted to do our music video two. It took us over 25 minutes and we still did not decide on a song but we narrowed it down to three songs that we liked. After that, we decided to talk about different things we could incorpor
