Music Video Intro blog

 For my music video project, I've decided on working with a partner. The person I have chosen to work with is Alexa Delgado. I've worked with her on previous projects before this one. Even on the projects that we were supposed to work individually, she'd always offer to help with anything I needed. We've known each other since kindergarten, and I believe this is the main determinant of why we work so well together. We also already see each other on a daily basis because we live so close together. She is one of my best friends, and we really understand each other, so we tend to have a lot of things in common. Like for example, our taste in music. Alexa brought up the idea of choosing the song violent crimes by Kanye West, which we then concluded as the song for our project pretty quickly. Our video is going to portray the deeper meaning of this song. Kanye was basically talking about the uneasiness of his daughters growing up. The underlying message of what girls have to go through while developing and becoming what or who they want to be. We essentially wanted to demonstrate the growth of our character in our music video. This song is a good base for us to be creative. With so many ways we can represent our ideas. We already have some ideas on how we want to start off the music video. Starting with an areal shot slowly zooming in and looking down on her in her bedroom. Also ideas of essentially demonstrating what teens have to go through now in the 21st century. What they have to grow up with when having technology and the intense magnification of being scrutinized over the internet.

In my previous blog I talked about how during the long car rides, I wanted to be able to think about the costumes and overall theme. I've made quite a few decisions on many things regarding my film project with my partner Alexa Delgado. Such as my choice for costumes. I've resolved on having the lead male actor, wear a white button-up for the good scenes and a black button-up for the bad scenes. We wanted the color scheme of the outfits to be light and dark to really emphasize the tone being portrayed in each scene. The white and black present somewhat of a good vs evil scheme everyone is familiar with. We want the girlfriend of the lead, to be wearing a white floral dress during the good scenes and a black floral dress during the bad scenes. We wanted to make sure the outfits' co...
