Intro to Music Video

In our last project, we used Pinnacle Studios. Pinnacle Studios was the software we used for our commercial. We were not very compatible with this program as it would lag, would delete our saved editing, and overall was not a good program to work with, especially on our first project. This project we have decided to use iMovie as opposed to Pinnacle Studios. This is because we all have much more experience with iMovie and overall iMovie works much smoother. We decided to use this software after another group showed us that they used it for their commercial. We will also be using our phone camera as opposed to a school camera that is also available to us. The video cameras that were issued to us in the last project did not have good quality, and were very difficult to dump onto our computers. We will also be filming off-campus for this project, but this was a decision our teachers made.
  For our music video, we are doing the song Slide by Frank Ocean and Calvin Harris. It is an upbeat and happy song. We are planning to make the music video very outdoorsy and fun. We chose this song because we like that it is a happy song with a good beat. We also chose it because we believe it will be a good song to make a music video for. The genre of this song is Pop.
   For costumes, we are going to be wearing basic, every-day clothing. We want the music video to look modern, so we are going to be wearing normal, modern clothing. For lighting, we are going to be using natural lighting. We are also going to be using color changing LED lights to add a good vibe to the music video. For actors, it is going to be me and my other two group mates. We may include a few friends from outside our group to use as background characters. We will be wearing natural makeup. The natural makeup look adds to the laid back feel of the song. For props, we will be using a car, beach supplies, and blankets. We will also use phones as props and a skateboard. For setting, we will be going to use the beach, a bedroom, and a car. We may also use other locations that we find while editing. We will be doing pan camera movements, medium close up, and tracking shots. There will be no sound because the music will be the sound for the video. We will use jump cuts to show the transition between different settings and scenes.
