Codes and Conventions 2

We are finally done with our commercial project. Today, we were assigned our music video project. On this project we will be recording a music video outside school. The minimum is 1:05 seconds and the maximum is 1:15 minutes of recording. I’m really excited to record this music video, since we have to record it outside school we have many ideas to implement and I have a really good feeling about them. I had a really grade time filming our commercial so I’m really excited to shoot this music video. We chose the song Rocketeer by Far East Movement. We already have everything planned out for our music video. We will try our best to tell a good story using this song. I believe that my group and I will do really good on this project due to the fact that all of us are on the same page when it comes to the ideas to shoot the video. We will try to record the music video as soon as possible to try to avoid inconveniences. Since all of us have extra curricular activities like soccer for example we will probably record our video on a weekend.

The song we are using is called Rocketeer. We have watched the whole music video together. I really like their music video. They don’t really try to tell a story, they just record a bunch of people having fun and doing what they like. Our video will be completely different. We will try to tell a story about a man that is going through a book with pictures of when he was young. When looking and the pictures he remembers everything that he did with his friends when he was younger. This is a really good idea and it fits really well with the song. The song has a high beat so we will make sure our music video is very animated and fun so it matches the song.

1. In our music video we will be on the beach, so we would be wearing bathing suits. There will be other times, however, were we will be on a basketball court for a picture, in which we will be wearing  clothes for basketball. There will also be a picture that we will be in a restaurant and laughing, so we will be wearing regular attire, maybe jeans and a t-shirt.
 2. In most of the pictures in the book, it will be daytime. This is except for the picture that we will zoom into, which will be set at night. We might use a flash for some shots though.
3. In our music video we will have an adult hat is later in life, maybe a father, that will grab the book an open it. Then the pictures will be of us at the beach or in a restaurant. Once it zooms into the main picture, we will have a few teenagers acting naturally. We will be at the beach playing volleyball or playing with sparklers.
4. We will not be using make-up in our video, as we want to put out a natural and relaxed mood. There might be somebody wearing make-up, but it would be coincidental.
5.  Throughout the video we will be using a hefty amount of props. This could include the sparklers that we are using at the beach. It would also include the book of pictures that will be used at the beginning of the video. There also might be some other props like a basketball at the court, or some food at the restaurant.
6. The video will start off inside of a house, in a room, where the subject will grab the book. Then we will have different settings in all the pictures in the book, like a park or a basketball court. The main setting; however, will be at the beach.
