Research For Music Video Project

     Today on November 14th we started a new project. This project is a music video that we are filming ourselves based off of a song of our choosing. Our last project taught me a lot about the production process. It taught me about filming and that it is important to be silent and keep a straight face. I also learned about how to hold the camera and attach it to the tripod. I also learned about the different transitions available on the editing program we use. Now that I have experience in production I think this project will be even better.
     The song we chose is Buttercup by Jack Stauber, We chose this because we found it on the app TikTok and it sound like a fun, upbeat song. The usual conventions for pop music is wide shots, close up shots and pan shots. The sound is mainly upbeat and there's a lot of cut aways. Common costumes in pop music videos are mainly normal everyday clothes. Early 2010 pop music was basic clothes but over the years artists wear more costumes or more unique looks. The theme of these videos play a huge part in the video. The lighting in pop music videos that are more energetic and happy songs have more bright lighting in it while calm and mellow songs have dimmer lighting. The actors in pop videos are mainly the singer themselves, they may have a few extras but its mainly focused on them. The makeup for music videos vary. Some might have very bold makeup looks while some go for a more natural look. There's not really much props in the music videos, there may be a radio or a chair but nothing abnormal. The setting for music videos also vary as well. Most joyful songs are in common, public places while gloomy songs are in buildings or private areas.
