Intro to Music Video

 So we finally finished our Gatorade commercial. Now were starting a very exciting new project. A MUSIC VIDEO! Im very excited to start this project because we get to film outside of school. This will allow us to have more options on where to film. We also get to pick a cool song that we all like. I feel like when we did our last project is was a little difficult because we had some problems, but now I think we have everything together and won't have as many problems. On our commercial we used natural lighting, which worked out pretty good so were going to use that again.

    The song we all decided on was 8TEEN by Khalid. We picked this song because it's very chill and relaxing. Also it has a nice beat that you can also vibe too. Since the song is kind of slow and relaxed, we thought we could just sing along with it in the video. We can dance to it to because the beat is smooth but also has a hip to it. Picking this song was the best choice because it will be fun to film and its a good song that meets the requirements.

   The genre that our song is in is R&B/Soul. This genre usually consists of medium shots and close-up shots. These camera angles are normally the most popular and are used a lot in this genre. They film slowly and the camera doesn’t move very fast. The sounds are are mainly smooth and calmly but sometimes can be more up lifting.

1. Costumes: The costumes are generally normal attire. In the music videos, the people wear everyday clothing.  

2. Lighting: The lighting normally used is natural lighting or indoor lighting. They use this lighting because in the videos, they are mainly outside and indoor. 

3. Actors: The people acting appear to be normal people and appear as friends to the music artist. This is mostly because in the videos the people seem to have some form of a relationship. 

4. Makeup: In most music videos like ours, there doesn’t appear to be much makeup. The girls would wear everyday makeup.

5. Props- The props used are usually cars and items that fit the lyrics in the song. This is because the lyrics tend to tell a certain story. 

6. Setting- The setting in these type of music videos are at normal places depending on what the lyrics are trying to say. They can vary from houses, the beach, or the mall.
