Music Video: Group Blog


    1. When it came to this project, I made the deliberate choice to go solo. The reason behind it is that I have a very specific vision in mind. I didn't want to impose my vision on others and make things complicated. Plus, dealing with all the logistics of a group didn't seem very appealing. At one point, I did consider joining a group because teamwork can be beneficial. However, upon further thought, I concluded that I'd be more effective working independently. I do recognize the value of collaboration in general. But for this particular project, I genuinely believe that a solo approach is the way to go. It's essential to acknowledge that this project is substantial and challenging. Despite the workload, I believe that working alone will minimize potential hurdles. Going solo allows me to maintain full control over the project's direction and execution. It ensures that my vision is realized without any compromises. Sometimes, group dynamics can lead to creative clashes and delays, and I want to avoid that. I'm well aware that this approach demands self-reliance and dedication. Nevertheless, I'm confident that the benefits of going solo outweigh the challenges. My decision to tackle this project independently is strategic and thoughtful. I believe it will result in a more focused and successful outcome. While collaboration is often key to success, there are instances when a solitary approach is the most effective. In this case, I'm committed to giving my best effort to ensure the project's success, even if it means going it alone. I'm open to seeking input and feedback from others at appropriate times, but for now, I'm sticking to my decision to pursue this project independently.

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

 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...
