Today we're starting a new project that is a music video. We are finished with our commercial. The commercial was fun but also stressful to shoot because it was our first time filming but it was something new and exciting to do. Being our first project, our expectations of it were very low because we've never done anything like this before and because we'vemmnever worked together before. Now that we're moving onto our music video, I feel like we have a good chance of producing a good video because we've already worked with each other and the process is more known. Although our team got split up, Camila and I can still work well together. It has to be from 1 minute and 5 seconds to 1 minutes and 15 seconds. So we're going to have to work harder to get the music that we want. It's going to be shot off campus so it'll be exciting to see where we take it. I was thinking about asking my friends who love to dance to join us because we don't want to dance ourselves.
We chose the song Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus. We chose the song because it's nostalgic to our childhood. It will also bring back happy memories and make it more exciting. The genre of the song is pop. The song was released in 2009. This means that we will have to go back to our 2009 childhood and remember what made 2009 different than our time today. The song goes back to our elementary school days when times were easier and when we had more fun. Since we had more fun a small the song is a pop song, it will be very easy to recreate this video in our own perspective because our 2009 selves were so light hearted and care free which is what pop feels like.
1) Costumes- our costumes will be based around the style of clothing in 2009, and mixed with expensive outfits. We chose to do it this way and not remake it for our time, a decade later because we wanted to feel the nostalgia of our childhood and because it took place in Hollywood originally and even though we don't want to recreate the video completely, we still want to follow the lyrics of the song.
2) Lighting- the lighting will be varied throughout the entire video because we will be shooting at different times a day on different days. This will work with the video because it will give it a storyline feel.
3) Actors- We will be using the help of our teenage friends for the dancing and acting. Since in a teenage music video, there are usually many people, it wouldn't make sense to have one person in the entire video. Since there are only two of us as a team, one person would have to be shooting while the other acts, which wouldn't make for a good video.
4)Makeup- Our actors will be wearing basic makeup, like mascara and light eye shadow to replicate the 2009 pop culture vibes. This will call for a lot of research to figure out how 2009 teenagers used makeup.
5) Props- Our props will consist of sparkers when it gets darker, a speaker to show the music that would play, and a taxi driver type of hat. We chose these to stay as close to the lyrics as we can.
6) Setting- We will be shooting our music video at the beach around sunset and sunrise for the beginning and end of the video, as well as dancing. We will also have it around a park near the school for the cab scenes and for the dancing, and also downtown for the tall building and city feel of Hollywood.
7) The camera angles will be shot from far away, low angles, and tracking shots. The sound will be the music playing for the video. We will have to edit a lot in Pinnacle Studios to have our scenes together. This will take time after the filming which we are hoping to have.
