 My group is doing a music video for the Alternative song “You make me feel...” by Cobra Starship and Sabi. In this music video, the audience usually sees party costumes, props such as sunglasses, jewelry, flashing lights, and drinks, and large crowds.  

  • CLAMPS 


  • People in these videos usually wear costumes such as party clothes. 

  • Their appearance is usually young, energetic, and party-goers.  

  • Makeup is usually done with colorful eyeshadow, or shimmer in order to make those in the music video stand out. 

  • Those in the music video are happy and let loose having a fun time. 

  • Props include sunglasses, jewelry, flashing lights, and drinks, and large crowds. 

  • The setting is usually parties in an open area, bar, or restaurant. Some scenes are filmed in an alternative location such as a photo booth.

  • The score through music videos is fast-paced sounds that are meant to make the audience feel excited and joyful.  

  • Ambient sound is used in order to represent background noises, such as those at a party.

  • Fade in and out is most often used in music videos as a way to smoothly transition the "story" being told by the music and the setting.

  • Slow and fast motion is used to change the mood of a music video.

A soccer showdown

   Today was our second day of filming on October 6th, 2021. Our group was excited to finish our Adidas commercial. Jade Walrave and I changed into our costumes before heading to our filming set. The track, our filming set, was not very busy so we began finding an area with good lighting to film our final scenes. The final scenes we needed to film was the action scene where Jade and I were in a head to head match. We first began by filming a low angle of me and jade running in order to show off the adidas brand cleats. After this we filmed a few of my shoes alone in order to get the perfect shot. Between filming each scene we would go back and review the scene in order to change anything wrong in it. We ended up re-filming the first scene around 5 times before capturing the correct shot. Next we grabbed orange cones to set up the “goal” for our shot. We began practice our blocking for the scene and making sure the angles were correct. It was difficult to originally figure out ...

  Making my film takes a lot of planning and attention to detail. With a schedule of two shooting days, there is a lot of work to do to make sure everything runs smoothly. Here are some of the extra details I had to consider when planning my five-minute film. After I identified the specific locations I will be filming at, including both interior and exterior scenes I still had to work out the details. I first had to e nsure that I have permission to film at each location and was in compliance with any local regulations. Next, I must c onsider the time of day I will be shooting each scene and plan accordingly. Make sure I have all the necessary equipment, including cameras, lighting, and sound equipment.

Provide personal protective equipment, such as masks and gloves, to all cast and crew members. Se...

  For my commercial assignment, I decided to pair with Jade Walrave, Ely Silverberg, and Mya Hauser.  For this commercial, I wanted to choose some of my peers with who I knew I was comfortable working with and filming with. I met Ely and Mya last year during my general paper class and we often worked on many group projects together. We always would finish our projects on time and we worked great together as a team. `I also met Jade last year during AICE Testing and she sat in front of me. We ended up becoming friends and hanging out the whole summer. After reviewing our schedules we discovered we had AICE Media together. I knew we would work well together as we already got along with each other outside of school. Together our group will function well because each member has their own specialty and skill set. Ely is good at concepts and creating a layout and design for each scene as well as the production as a whole. Mya is better at scriptwriting and is great at relating the s...
