Music Video: All over!


 I finally finished my music video. Here's how it went. After figuring out that I had a lot of issues I decided to just refilm. Luckily, some of the footage I have from before was usable. So I cut that up and put it in it. I also recorded some new footage of me lip-synching. It was really fun to dance a lot. I had some trouble figuring out the lighting, but it worked out. The hardest part was editing on beat. Especially synking my lips. I had to get the Music on time for it to make sense. It took a while. I was a little worried that I wouldn't get it in by the time I wanted to finish. If I didn't, what would I do but I figured it out. Yay! I liked how it turned out. My friends
liked it a lot too. They were happy that they acted in it. It was a fun project. I went through a lot of hurdles, but they did work out. I'm a little relieved that it's finished. It was fun while it lasted.

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...
