My music video uses and challenges conventions. It uses conventions by following the verdict of the Taylor Swift "You Belong With Me" and following the lyrics of the story about a girl wanting someone that someone else has. My music video challenges conventions by changing the original music video being about a relationship and my group made the music video about friendships. This music video also represents issues like stereotypes about "popular" and "nerdy" groups in high school and average problems teens face with friendships. My music video can really engage the audience because many teens can have friendships that they feel strongly towards and when there is a third person that you believe is better than you or "cooler" than you who is taking away the person you love from you which can hurt your self image in feeling as though you are not good enough. This feeling can really resonate with the audience of my groups music video and is the reason this is a real media text. My production skills have definitely improved throughout the production of this music video. My thought process has developed to think about all the creative ways that I can get messages out to the audience in a visual. I have done a lot of thinking about how to get the message of the song out through the music video being about friendships instead of what Taylor was originally singing about which is relationship wise. Throughout this music video, technology was a big part of everything my group and I did. I used another group members iPhone 13 Pro to film every scene of this music video. For contacting each other to plan and discuss dates for filming and editing, technology was used to communicate to each other. For editing, another group members iPhone XR was used to upload all the clips into CapCut the editing software. Through technology, my group and I were able to film, edit, and plan the entire music video. Overall, I had a very fun time expanding my knowledge of filming and editing this music video.

Short vs. full length film research

  BLOG 1: Comparing 9, the short film, and the full-length movie  Hey Blogg, our group will be discussing the short version of the film "9" and the full-length version along with comparing both of them.  Short film version: None of our group members had ever seen this movie and seeing it for the first time it was different, unlike something we had ever seen before. First off, there was no dialogue throughout the whole film. This causes us to pay even more attention to what was happening throughout the film to better understand what was going on. For this specific short film, the plot was less obvious and required higher thinking skills as all that is given are the scenes. We understood the plot at the nearing the end of the movie. Our interpretation of the plot was that in a desolate setting that looked like a landfill site, the film begins with scenes of 9 crafting objects from scrap metal. As the title screen fades, 9 is found sitting around the remnants of a broken w...

Short Film Research: Party to Murder

  The mystery short film I watched was Party to Murder by Strobie Studios. The actors gathered together at this old style mansion to play a game of murder mystery while at a masked party. Will they play a harmless game or is the reality of death knocking on their front door? The director included a plot twist which is what ultimately made the short film a good watch. At the beginning of the film the director used upbeat music and close up angles of a couple dressed in fancy attire. The upbeat music explained the mood of the couple, as they were laughing and excited for their upcoming party. However as the car approached the home the music took a turn for the dark. The music began to speed up and the musical notes selection became very ominous. A big tactic used in mysteries especially murder mysteries in plot twists. Plot twists leave the audience highly surprised making it the best way to recapture a viewer's attention. Nobody wants to sit through a movie where every scene is easi...
