Intro to New Project: Music Video

     So yes, our new project is going to be a music video. I also joined a new group, We now consist of Jake, Kyle, Timothy, and me Carter. Before I talk about that, I would like to review what I liked and learned about the commercial project. The best part of the project for me was: the story boarding. This was instrumental for my group when we were filming. we were able to save time and be as efficient as possible when we had a good plan. What I learned from this project was how to edit efficiently while using Pinnacle Studios 18. The trick is to load everything onto the track all at once, then slowly remove what you don't want. The last project was hard but now, with this new team, we are doing to be great.

Now for the most important part: we will be using the song "Garry Come Home" to make our video. This song falls under the category of sad slow ballad. This song is from the popular kids show Sponge Bob. In this show, there is a sponge and he really loves his pet snail Garry. However, he sometimes neglects his snail, and this ultimately lead to him running away. For our play on this episode, we will act like we are neglecting one of our pets, only to come back the next day and "discover their absence". By recording our video in this way, we will really grab the hearts of our viewers, and make a great commercial. This song is a Ballad because it is a song narrating a story in short stanzas.

1. (C) Costumes: in the department of costumes, we will utilize both normal clothes and Pajamas. The normal clothes will be for when we first neglect the pet, and pajamas for when we discover that he is missing.
2. (L) Lighting: We will be primarily utilizing dark and moody lighting. by doing this we will enthrall the viewers and use it to help express the emotions inside of us.
3. (A) Acting: We will be acting realistically and uninterested at first. However, as time progresses and we don't find the pet, we will act increasingly stressed out and depressed, as one would if they lost a loved-one.
4. (M) Makeup: we will not be utilizing makeup if our video. We are a group of all guys and that would not make scene if this was a real scenario.
5. (P) Props: one of the only props that we will be using will be Jake's dog. This way we can express that we will loose something important to us.
6. (S) Scenes: The realistic scenes will follow the main character and his friends on their journey.

Overall, this project is looking like it will be a fun one.
