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.

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...

Music Video

The Kids Turned out Fine - A$AP Rocky This music video is a collage of teenagers and children messing around having fun, maybe having a little too much fun shown by drug use and law enforcement involvment. These events are seamlessly sewn together by flowing transitions and over the top editing. The line "The kids turned out fine" is repeated throughout most of the music video and is almost ironic but also comforting. There isn't much of story to this video as it is mostly disconnected events but there is a very powerful theme of kids naturally wanting to rebel and have fun. A$AP Rocky always makes sure to have a super diverse group of people for his music videos. An abundance of different cultures, races, and sexuality's are shown in this video and it really suits the theme. One of my favorite elements of this music video is the editing. Each shot pans into the next shot with over the top editing and transitions, it makes the disconnected events feel connected and...
