AICE Media Studies

  How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? For the music video, I used the song “Take me out” By Franz Fernidand. The genre for this song was Alternative/Indie. Although that was the genre, my group did not follow it. Remember, then lyrics are what made our video express a theme. The beat was uprising and vibrant. We used those factors to make our video fun. My video has one major social issue that causes the world to shift apart. That social issue is leaving one out. The feeling of being left out truly causes one to overthink about every action, thought, or breath they take. I thought it was very important to show the difference between doing activities alone and doing it with the people you enjoy hanging out with. Many agree that yes, it is important to spend time with yourself, however, it distracts you from making core memories of happiness. To refer back to the topic, I did stress that we follow the Mis en Scene. It ...

 Hello Emeralds, I am pleased to show you my music video. Hope you enjoy!

 Welcome back Emeralds! This is now the last time I am reminding you of my task. I must make a music video. This is my first time directing and recruiting cast members. I stress that I am using this assignment to effectively show my understanding of media terms. Let us continue the process from my last blog. As I last mentioned, a peer and I found that my opening and closing scene needed some changes. Therefore, I completely filmed it again from a different angle. Now filming is 100% DONE. All of the work the group and I produced is added. I used CapCut to edit and add transitions. I needed to cut the clips to shorter times to reach a total of one minute and ten seconds of footage. That was the main challenge. It was hard for me to decide whether I truly needed to keep certain scenes in. Overall, five scenes that I had did not even make it into the music video, as it did not correlate to the theme. Speaking of themes, I have a spoiler. The theme is having a friend group that exclud...

 Hey Emeralds, welcome back to another update. To remind everyone, I am tasked with a music video. My goal is to demonstrate my understanding of media terms efficiently. Today, I can officially announce that filming is complete! The group and I met up and coordinated everything well. The editor and I communicated on what scenes should go first and what effects to add. I decided that the storyboard needed some changing and we needed to rearrange the scenes to decide what goes first. I want my Emeralds to get a concise vision of what is happening without another source having to tell them. Now, I am on the editing, the official fun part! As you know, I had to start my first scene off with me waking up to start my day. As I watched it, I noticed it was lacking something crucial. Did I need to show me asking for breakfast? Did I need to show me making my bed? Or how about something less time consuming like bird chirping! Everyone loves the sounds of birds chirping to get the day starte...
