Introduction to music video

 


My name is Nicholas Pearlman. I go to Fort Lauderdale High School and I am in the 11th grade. My favorite hobbies are biking, playing basketball, and skateboarding. I wanted to take AICE MEDIA STUDIES for many reasons this year. One reason is that I wanted to learn more about films and how they are produced. I also needed to take this AICE class just in case for my Cambridge diploma. I am really looking forward to do the music video. I am in AS media studies, but I might take A level next year. Learning about movies are really fun and I will take what I learn in this class to the real world. My blogs this year will show you my growth throughout the year.

My blogs will be time consuming, but they will prepare me for everything I need in this class. I have siblings that also go to Fort Lauderdale High. They will most likely take AICE MEDIA STUDIES also. I love watching movies so they will help me in this class. I like sport movies and superhero movies. I have looked forward to going to class this year since it is so fun. I will make sure I pass this class with a good enough score. I want to enjoy school and this course will allow me to do so. I feel like I am prepared for any challenges that come my way during this year. This is the start of my music blog this year, enjoy the music video journey of mine this year!

Here are some conventions that we found in the blog that we liked, did not like, and overall conventions that we should use in our film. Conventions that we liked: There was a lot of conventions used in this film that our group likes. To start, a lot of the angles used have underlining purposes. For example, the antagonist in this film are usually represented with low angles that shows them having power over another subject. To give the film a more modern feel, the costumes worn during the duration was more modern, causal clothing which is something that my group actually liked.

The natural lighting also gave the film a natural feel, it made the story more real which we also liked. Finally, all of the sound effects used in the film w...

 Today is March 7th and me and my group have worked on the music we will use in our film. I have already started the process of using the music in the film that will best fit for the certain scenes. At first, me and my group could not decide what music to use for the film. But me and my group searched different thrilling and establishing music and we found the ones me and my group like best. Me and my group will use establishing music for the beginning of the film. And my film will use thrilling music for climax and important events. Important events such as the kidnapper in our film escaping, and the vehicle driving off. The establishing music will take place for about the first 20-30 seconds of the film and get the film to establish a meaning and help the audience get interested.

 Conventions that we liked: There was a lot of conventions used in this film that our group likes. The angles and the clamps have their own purposes. We liked that the costumes because they were very casual since the movie takes place in a skyscraper. They were also props such as machine guns being shot, during the rising action of the movie. We like that it gives the audience a sense of suspense with the guns being shot. The lighting used since its in a big city gives a thrilling vibe. We definitely want to use a certain lighting in our film. The lighting gives a natural thrilling feel. Finally, we like the sound used in the movie.
