Music video

What is the project ?

In this project we were required to choose an existing music video and recreate it shot by shot.


Pre production 

Choosing a MV

First of all we had to choose the music video we wanted to do as a team. This took a while because we all had different taste in music and, it was hard to agree on something . We also had to pick something we had the ability to create. At the end of this we ended up choosing "Young, Dumb and Broke" by Khalid. This was the perfect choice because it takes place in a school and it also had a lot of cool and impressive cinematic shots.


Beat Sheets, Story Boarding and Such

next we had to work together and do a beat sheet, film scape and a story board.We also had to decide where and When we were gonna film.  During tis time my group dreaded doing this , but during the production process it really came in handy.

Filming

For this music video filming took a decent amount of time and a lot of time after school. The reason was it included many locations as well many extras. First of all it took us a bit to find extras that would be willing to utilize their time. Our biggest struggle was being able to film outside due to inclement weather, Because this project ended up being during the snowpocalapse. However we persevered and ended up filming in the cold weather anyway. It was all worth it

Editing

After all the filming I had no class time to edit, so I again had to stay after school a couple of days. This was worth it because I didn't need stress out about finishing in class. During this editing I faced no struggles. I also feel like I have been really comfortable with premier

Overall Reflection

This has been my favorite project so far in ecomm and really proud of the outcome. I am blessed to have such an amazing group with great talents, and im looking forward to working with them. We will enter this in emagine so, im exited to see how that turns out

Typography project

The project

For this project we had to pick four quotes to turn into a piece of typography by changing fonts, colors, stroke, alignment etc. 

Choosing My Quotes/Fonts

The first step in the project was choosing quotes. For this part I decided to look at songs from my favorite artist and musicals and choose the ones that stuck out to me the most. I also had to go find fonts on the website given to us from miss beaudoin. While looking for my fonts I thought of the themes of my songs or musicals. I also looked for some nice simple fonts and downloaded a bunch. When I Was typing out the quotes I would try multiple different fonts too see what looked best.

Production

During this project I didn't learn anything new from illustrator. While arranging my type I basically tried a couple of layouts and did what ever looked best. Working with color was different from working with black and white. for me it was easier because I could control the stroke and text much better.

Finished pieces

I'm pretty proud of the finished pieces especially my twenty one pilots and bts quotes. However the other two could be a lot better. I would change the color choices for these two and spend more time and put more detail in my rent quote
