Music Video

What Song and Why

We choose to do Why do You Feel So Down by Declan Mckenna. We chose this song because everyone liked it, and it had pretty straight forward format to follow. The theme we wanted to portray was a retro exercise video.

Production  

We started by completing the beat sheet for our video to get the shots straight. We then planned out dates to film, these date got changed quite often because of the weather. We chose to film at union station because of the backdrop of Kansas City. We then moved onto editing after we finished filming. We had to create a bunch of different transitions for our video, we also had to mess with the saturation levels to make the video look like the original. Overall this process went very smoothly even though the weather got in our way. 


My Roll    

I did a lot of the pre production such as the beat sheet and figuring out what type of shots we would use. I also filmed the video and did some of the editing. I made sure to communicate with my teammate so we were all on the same page. Our group collaborated well together and got everything done by the deadlines.  



Conclusion 

If I could do one thing differently it would be to check the weather constantly to make sure it wasn't too cold on days we had to film. One thing I would do the same is make sure to communicate with teammates so everything goes as planned. This project taught me that collaboration is necessary and if you get along with your teammates it makes everything easier. Overall this project was a lot of fun and it taught me a lot about working in a group.

Vans Commercial

 Production  Our commercial was for Vans, the concept that we wanted to get across was that vans are a great durable shoe that bring people together.  Our pre production went really smoothly and we got our script and storyboards all done. Production also went extremely well. It was a little interesting to film at a skate park, we had to make sure not to get in anyones way but overall it was really fun. Post production could have gone better though. Our video was turned in late and it didn't meet the 30 second requirement. That is definitely something to improve on. I think we did a pretty good job on all the five guarantees except communication and project management. I would like to see things turned in on time for my next project, and to have better communication between editor and cinematographer.  Role   For this commercial I took on the production role of cinematographer. This was one of my goals I set last year: I wanted get more familiar with the cam...

2020 Film Reel

My film reel is meant to portray teen life, adventure, and a little bit of conflict. I feel that this reel mainly showcases cinematography, and editing, and lighting. I used beat sink on some of the shots but not all so it didn't become predictable and boring. I also had some actions happen to the beat of the song. When ending my film reel I chose a really bright outside shot full of warm colors, I chose to do so because it ends the reel on a positive note. I also only choose shots that were really cinematic to include in my film reel. Thats probably why my reel was shorter than a minute, but I plan to add a lot more work after the completion of my music video. I used three works in this film reel: Perfect Putty,  Levis Commercial, and Wimp. For the most part transitions between these pieces worked pretty well, but there are a few jarring cuts because of drastic lighting changes. One thing I would like to change next time I update my reel is the music, its spliced together in som...

Senior Final

 Throughout my eComm career my favorite three projects have been my Levis commercial, Wimp, and Kingfisher. These video projects have taught me so many valuable skills and were a blast to work on. Levis Commercial  This is a project I completed towards the beginning of junior year. The goal was to create a captivating commercial in 30 second format. We chose to do Levis and picked downtown as our location to film. This was my first big project I worked on and it was so much fun getting to go downtown with my group. While on set the seniors taught me many valuable and key camera skills. We also were collaborating and communicating so well which made everything really fun and entertaining. During post production I was even taught how to color correct using DaVinci. Our end result turned out amazing and looked fantastic. Overall this project was so much fun and taught me so much.  Kingfisher  This is the Feature Film I worked on last year. The production role I took on ...
