Production Blog - Getting Started!

Hi, y'all! It's Rowyn again. Today I will talk about my position in the music video and what I plan to contribute to it! I'm working with amazing people so I have very high hopes for the outcome! I decided I'd be the editor for the music video since I have prior knowledge of editing videos plus experience from the commercial. But being an editor you have to look at things that you know other people don't pay attention to. Like transitions, not many people know this but transitions are what really bring a video together plus help understand what's happening. It impacts the pace and style so you really have to put a lot of thought into it. I plan to use very chilling, creepy transitions that will bring out the stalker's resemblance in the video as well as the victim. I will also try to align it with the song so it comes out smooth. For the editing platform, I plan to use iMovie because it is a very easy yet impactful editing software. As well as being an editor, I'm also in the video as the victim's friend. For this role, I don't really have any resemblance or importance but I will do my very best to act! Mia and I will also take turns filming as well. Since the music video has to be no less than 1 minute 10 seconds but no more than 1 minute 15 seconds then I will try and make each shot no longer than 7 seconds. Angles and shots are also very important for our video and I will try and include a lot of them. They provide storytelling as well as the overall aesthetic of the video. I believe that during the making of this video, I will learn a lot about what it takes to bring a music video together. Overall, I am super excited to start filming this music video! See you guys next time!

Creative Critical Reflection - Final Task

1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? Answer: This product utilizes conventions in horror and thriller movies. We used camera angles, music, editing, and dialogue that are commonly used in movies like this. For example, this product has scenes that are close-ups which are used in horror films to show fear in characters or to show what may be happening to change the viewer's focus while watching. In this scene right here we used a close-up to show the killer show that the audience can feel how close the killer was to the main character without her knowing. Almost as a dramatic irony. When the characters don't know what may be going on but the audience does. Overall, the product was truly a thriller because of the amount of suspense it had. Each scene kept building up which is usually what horror/thriller films use. But it does challenge conventions because of costumes. In this scene h...

Music: Choosing Audios

Hey y'all! Last addition to the editing portion of the final task! I was doing research on the music that was going to apply to the Final Task. I used many websites, but deciding to stick with what I knew would be the best, it needed to be found on YouTube. I searched for royalty free music and boy oh boy there were MANY to choose from. However, I was stuck between two sounds. One being a constant beat like a timer and the other having suspense in the sound as time went on. Although it was a tough decision to make between me and my group, my group members and I came agreed to choose the second one. The reasoning behind this choice, was simple. It fit the plot of our film and plot better. The first choice was a little to fast paced, meaning that it wouldn't have fit the video. It was also very loud, so it would be hard to both insert and hear non-diegetic sounds. On the other hand, the second one was quiet, but added that suspenseful aspect that I was looking for in the film. ...
