Choosing my song

My group has decided to do a music video to the song "Meant To Be" by Bebe Rexha, featuring Florida Georgia Line. This is a country love song, I researched a few similar country songs with love stories in order to get a better understanding of what is expected from a country music video.

  • Costumes such as flannels, jeans, cowboy hats, and boots were apparent on the men and women in these music videos. The lightning tends to be brighter, establishing a sunny setting. The music videos also had a tendency to be set on an open road or field. 

  • Shots vary from establishing shots to wide shots, and angles such as middle close up and close ups are used throughout the videos. 

  • Editing such as split screens appeared often in my research and were used to display the male and female singers, harmonizing and singing back and forth. Fade in and fade outs were featured in these music videos, as they were used to shift scenes smoothly. 

  • Diegetic sound can also be heard in these videos, adding to the realness. As well as sound motifs such as the sound of tires and boots clacking, which helps display a particular character a certain way.

1. Conventions in country music videos include countryside rural area. The lyrics tend to have a deep meaningful purpose and correspond to a storyline. The music video is meant to enhance the words and the actors are trying to display the  meaning and emotions of the lyrics. 

2. In other music videos by Florida Georgia Line, the singers are pictured wearing costumes such as jeans, cowboy boots, and hats. From this I can gather that jeans, flannels, hats and boots are the general cowboy attire, and is what is expected to be seen in a country music video.

3. In these music videos pathos is often used when singing a storyline that is deep and meaningful, it tends to connect with the audience pulling them in to listen and watch more.

 Scene 1: The actor will start off coming into school beginning at the top of the stairs in front of the auditorium. A Jansport backpack will be laying on a bench right before the stairs. The actor will be running, grab the backpack off the bench and run down the stairs. This will go from an eye level to a low angle, the camera person will move backwards as the actor runs down the stairs. Then the actor will start walking and other friends with Jansport backpacks will gather around and walk with them. Scene 2: Another actor will be sitting on a bench on the senior patio. Papers and books will be on the ground and on the bench, the actor will be trying to zip up their non Jansport backpack. They will be having trouble and it won't work. This will be an eye level shot from the side. Scene 3: As the group of friends with Jansport backpacks are walking they notice the student with the non Jansport that is broken, there books and papers are falling out and they look sad. They all look a...

 So that was the end of the filming. All that's left to do now is edit. I began by trimming our clips to the appropriate length. I listened to the individual who had an opinion. The brightness was adjusted. I tweaked the angles. It took me some time to figure out how to utilize iMovie. As a result, I experimented with several editing programs. I ended up preferring iMovie and went back to my first choice. It was difficult for me to choose music. I also didn't want to utilize music that was protected by copyright. I spent two hours attempting to come up with some suspenseful background music. My group was examining our video as I was editing. I had a feeling my group wouldn't be able to finish editing today. My group viewed a number of editing videos. So far, my favorite aspect of this endeavor has been becoming closer with my group. I was a little nervous at first since they were all juniors and I was a sophomore, but they were quite nice to me. I'm pleased I became clo...
