Hey!! What is your favorite genre of music to listen to?
For my AICE Media music video, my group and I got assigned to create a story for the throwback genre. From there we chose to do our video on the song Tonight by Phoenix. This best fit our brand because this song was more upbeat whereas the others given to us were slower. I was specifically drawn to this song because I really felt a connection with the lyrics, and when one is able to connect with the music and the heart, it can transform their feelings about the song. I was very adamant about doing this song and most of my group members agreed that this was the one for our video. We thought that it would be best to create a detailed storyboard so that we would have a smoother filming process. The storyboard came out to be the handiest piece of planning for us during production.
For this all to work out, especially with the five of us, we needed to be very organized and strategic with our time. We thought that it would be better to first create a schedule of when we were filming so that we didn’t lose track of time. We then moved on to locations, figuring out where we would be filming each scene so that there would be no need to scramble on filming day. We created an action list and started to plan out exactly what would be going on in each shot. This list acted as a free-range brainstorming list and not every idea was used for the final video. We then decided on what props we would need to get or make for this to even happen. We did this by creating a list and then assigning certain props to group members.
The biggest challenge within my group had to be the mixture of all the big personalities. Finding a clear path for the music video became extremely hard because everyone had different visions of what they wanted this to look like. I found it difficult when I couldn’t convey my ideas to the rest of the group in a way that would make sense because I had some interesting takes on what we should do for the video. In the end, it worked out, and we were all able to agree on an idea. I am glad that I went with the flow for this one because I am very proud of the results that we have been seeing throughout our filming process. We filmed during the week and over the weekend, now it is time to edit!! The plan is to add a lot of cool effects to enhance our idea for the video, and I am so excited to see what we come up with.
