Filming the Music Video

We did the filming at my house and most of it took place outside during the day, par for the scenes that took place at night.  I gathered most of the props for the scenes and set them up while my partner got ready for the shoot, though I did cut my finger in the process.  During filming there were a few mess ups, but that's all apart of the process, and we worked through it to make sure each scene was perfect.  I did my own makeup, which took around 10 minutes to get done.  Some of the props used include two bottles of dyed water, some tea cups, a candle, and a glass ball.

Title Research: Kung Fu Panda

Image
This title sequence came from www.artofthetitle.com - What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? The only title displayed at the opening is the title of the movie "Kung Fu Panda". - What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? The image of Po walking along in what appears to be old China. - What connotations do these images carry? That our story is not happening right now, but maybe in ancient China. - How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?

Creative Critical Reflection: Music Video

  Creative Critical Reflection 1.   1.  . How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or  issues? m  My video challenges conventions by showing two boys falling in love, instead of the typical guy/girl dynamic. It shows two guys slowly getting to know each other and growing closer, just like how real world relationships work. It also shows it in a romantic, innocent way versus how gay relationships are often portrayed in the media. The way gay relationships are portrayed in the media tend to be typically negative, secretive, and/or "dirty", and involve sex versus shy, innocence and hand holding.       It represents social groups because it represents gay youths and uses trans and non-binary people in the filming. Representation is important. Seeing romantic relationships between LGBTQ people should be normalized. We need to see more relationships like this portrayed like this in the media. If i...

Final Task - Opening Title Sequence

Image
https://youtu.be/N5hfNIovlYk And here is my final task. It did not come out as well as I had hoped, but I am very proud of it. After several days of filming and even more days of editing, I have created a finished product that I am happy with. In retrospect, I wish I had filmed more takes and that the energy in the scenes was a bit livelier. Looking back the parts that I thought would be easy were incredibly hard, and the parts I thought would be a breeze, really made me stumble and slowed me down. I hope you enjoy my opening title sequence.
