Storyboard for my Music Video

  First Shot: The main character is seen laying in bed and wakes up. The shot will be a wide shot to show not only the main character but their room as well. The main character will be in their pajamas in their bedroom. Second Shot: This shot will show the alarm clock with the time slightly after 12 to match the lyrics. The shot will be a close up. Ideally, the alarm clock will be pink and sparkly to match the main character’s personality. Third Shot: This shot will be an extreme close up of the alarm clock, zooming in from the previous shot. Fourth Shot: This shot will be an aerial shot of a breakfast meal. This shot will be in the kitchen, but it will not be clear in this shot. Fifth Shot: The next shot will be another aerial shot but will show more. The main character will push the plate away. The main character will still be in pajamas. The kitchen will be more shown in this shot. Sixth Shot: This next shot will be a medium long shot of the main character in the bathroom. The main

Research Blog: Music Video Conventions

     To research our music video, we first watched the music video made by Hoku. The music video had many different cross cuts with scenes from Legally Blonde. There was a split screen of the singer from Hoku and the character Elle from Legally Blonde to show how the two are similar. There are various medium long shots, medium shots, and medium close ups to showcase the singer of Hoku as the stereotypical perfect girl. The setting in which the music video is taking place is constantly changing, from the singer getting her nails done to shopping to walking on the street. A frequent setting shown is all of Hoku in a grassy area to show the band playing. The use of different costume changes, makeup, bright lighting, and props truly establishes this singer to have the perfect life and be the perfect girl.      The second video we watched was Legally Blonde’s intro featuring Perfect Day. Just like Hoku’s music video, the intro establishes Elle Woods to be the perfect girl. The intro shows d

For the music video I am working with the same people from the commercial project. I am in a group with Sofia Grajales, Camille Keith, and Siena Zimmerman. Siena is a new addition to our group. Also, she had media studies 2 nd  period  and the rest of us have  it  3 rd  period. I hope that we can find time to work together during class because it might be difficult being in different classes.  Plus, Camille has been quarantined for the past week. She has COVID- 19  and we don’t know how long she will be out for.   I am w orking with Sofia and Camille again because they are  really good  groupmates. I had a lot of fun working with them on the last project, so I decided to do this project with them.  We also did very good on our project and  work  well together. We all hav e the same ideas and mostly agree on everything. Since we are all good friends there is very little  doubt  they will let me down in this project. I am a very hard  worker  especially when it comes to group projects. I

 Hello, my name is Kaitlyn Casella. I am in 10th grade and I am 15 years old. I enjoy cheerleading on my two all-star teams and playing tennis. I am a very active person and I love those two sports. I also like to cook and bake. Whenever I cook or bake I feel relaxed and calm. I can be very energetic and other times I am calm. I am excited to be in AICE Media Studies in person because you get a better experience than online. I didn't like online school last year because I am more of a hands on, in class type of student. I work hard and always try my best in whatever the task at hand is. I have never taken a class like AICE Media Studies before, so I am excited to see what this class is all about. I tend to do things that are out of my comfort zone and see what is out there. I decided to be open minded about AICE Media Studies and I believe I made a good choice. I've always been interested in filmmaking, but I never decided to further my education in it. I hope this class can al
