Planning for my Music Video

 Now for the plan for this music video to be recorded for the assignment ages!

The song that I planned on using which was mentioned previously is Feels Like Summer by Childish Gambino. The genre for this song is R&B/Soul so the overall tone feels chill and relaxing. The main part of the story that I'm planning to make is to have something to do with traveling. This idea came from the original music video as it was mainly composed of an animated Childish Gambino walking down a long path all the way to his home while showing parts of other people's lives throughout the video. For my video, however, while it may have traveled the overall story will be different from the original.

The props would include a way to cause a need for travel so it could be a letter or text/call on the phone. Since it's traveling another thing needed would be the outside (I guess?). A starting and ending location is also needed. There will also need to be reminders about the reason for travel and this can be represented with posters or signs or other types of signs.

The costume would involve some wear that is not so heavy because the song is about summer and even though it's cold some pants and a t-shirt can work, and maybe a jacket if it really is so cold.

The location for this would be the outside and maybe on a street and preferably a highway as the streets would go on for a distance and there would be more chances to make some interesting shots. It's also a bit convenient that the pandemic has caused a somewhat decrease in cars out on the street so there would be less of a risk of anything dangerous happening. (Actors, actresses, editors, filmers, and the rest of the crew have to be safe!)

In case something happens that prevents me from recording outside  I can lower the range to walking around my apartment and maybe doing some other tricks to make the story interesting. By interesting it would be an alternate story that while still be about traveling the location wouldn't be far but it would still be very interesting. The only caveat would be figuring out how to go about getting the right angles to get the right effect. (Thinking about maybe buying a drone that can hold my phone.)

Cool looking... But a bit farther out of my budget...
(Lucky the main source of the budget is from creativity which I'm pretty sure I have a lot of)
And here is the schedule

 So the editing was interesting. It mostly consisted of more cutting than I would want to deal with. Some, honestly all, of the clips, had to be trimmed down. This was the majority of what I have been doing. Even though I was mainly trimming shots, I was able to find some moments where I could have some fun. The shots to be honest took way more time to trim and edit because I wanted the shots to match with the music so it was imperative that I make sure to properly cut the shots. When I got the music that I was going to use I had to cut it to match the required length of the entire video. But, I couldn't do it at the start because I didn't know how much the film would take. So most of the editing consisted of getting the actual film to go by as smoothly as possible. While at the same time cutting out as much as possible to shorten the length to one minute. Overall the process was similar to the others but this time I had more chances to mess with transitions. Davinci Resolve ha

Planning Storyboard for my Music Video

Image
 Now for my storyboard, the average length of each scene would take around 5 seconds each to come together to make 12 pictures and descriptions to encompass the plan shown by the storyboard. Scene 1 In this scene, it starts out with a mid-shot with several many short shots of the actor getting out of bed. In this shot, the camera mustn't move so it will be recorded as one long shot and cut into shots less than 5 seconds. This sequence will go in time with the music that will be playing. This will come up to about 12 shots being used in the first 5 or so seconds and then a while also being a short shot it would be much longer and have a pan to a door exiting the room. I feel like including an easter egg or something like that in it as something random to give a light and funny feeling in the beginning. Scene 2 The second shot would also be a wide shot that is composed of multiple clips. In these shots, it will show a different part of the same room but in these shots, it will be the

Storyboard for my 8BitDo SN30Pro+ Controller commercial

Image
 YO MAN HOW CAN YOU POST THIS LA- Sorry for being off schedule! A certain person forgot to post the blog but luckily with the power of overtime the commercial will be on schedule! Scenes 1. In this scene we start with a shot that views the monitor, keyboard, and the hands of a player (me). The player then starts up a game but struggles because he is using a keyboard (applicable in some situations). The shot would be from a medium distance to give a good view of the keyboard the screen is not the main point but it would be a good idea to play an actual game that works better with a controller rather than a keyboard. 2. In this scene the person has lost the game and is then very sad the camera would then zoom in on the monitor with a slow panning motion to emphasize the cause of this very depressing event. And along with this if possible the shot to be split with another on the keyboard to show that there is a relation between the loss and keyboard. 3. In this scene the camera makes a cu
