Commercial Production Blog


After thinking some on my commercial, I came to the conclusion that the song I choose wasn't the best fit. I had originally chosen The Spark- The Roots. Now, I am thinking of changing it. I thought the original song had the best rhythm. However, I realized that it could be better while editing my video. The beat was not moving fast enough to fit all the media I wanted into a short time period. I ran into this issue when formatting and laying out the time. I originally decided to go through with it anyways, but after thinking more I decided to change it. I changed it to New Bottega - Azealia Banks. I made sure to use the clean version. The beat on this song is very fast which makes it a better choice. It still has all the qualities I want, but is faster. I uploaded it to my editing software and re-organized my media. Redoing the layout of my media was tedious. In the end, I finished fixing it up. When playing the video back, I saw that this change was the perfect choice. The song is confident and strong. It is also a song I listen to often, which makes it feel more authentic. My friends also love this song. They are an important part of me, which is why I value their opinion when making a project about myself.

My final music video project is based on conventions that I saw while researching indie music. It sticks to the common homemade aesthetics that are seen in a large amount of indie and bedroom pop music videos. However, I challenged these conventions by using them with a song that is popular and is not indie or bedroom pop. The conventions of the genre of “Head over Heels” are often over the top with quirky visuals. I took a small bit of inspiration from these characteristics, but otherwise, I stayed true to the indie genre. It represents my friends and I’s shared cultural heritage and gender. In today's society, it can be hard to find media of young Latina girls expressing their love for art and music. Especially without a focus on their struggles and inner turmoils. There are m...

Music Video: My research

Image
 4EVER - Clairo Cameras: Slow zooms, fast pans, and short shots.  Editing: Fast cutting and grainy texture. Credit screen at beginning to introduce actors. Not full screen, cropped to about 2/3 of the whole available space.  Sound: Mostly diegetic sound throughout. However, in the first 30 seconds there is a mix between silence and the diegetic sound from the music. Mis-En-Scene- Costumes were natural and retro. Lighting was mostly natural light due to filming outdoors but occasionally cut to inside with dim warm lighting. None were wearing makeup. Actors did not put on a character and rather acted as exaggerated versions of themselves. Props included glasses, microphones, and drink cups. Setting was places around a college campus. Attention - NewJeans Cameras: Unfocused and sporadic. Many wide shots. Scenes were very short. Most shots were eye level angles. Editing: Quick and fast jump cuts. There was sparkling effects over the screen at some points. Colors were made mor...
