Introduction to the music video project

 I'm going to be working by myself for this project. I'm not aloud to see anyone because of the pandemic. I cant get anyone in my family sick. I usually work well by myself, I don't like it as much or enjoy the project as much. I had to do my last projects alone because of the same reason. A big loss that I get from being alone during the project is the filming aspect. I need someone to film and I cant act and film at the same time how I want too. A pro to working alone is not having to argue about ideas. this can also be a con as well. Having more people to go over ideas and brainstorm to come up with better ideas. The song that I chose for this project is called In My Room by Frank Ocean. This might be a little hard to make a music video about but ill just have to make it work. This is one of my favorite songs right now. Its not to long either so it might not be that bad. I will need to find a clean version though it has a few curse words. Since I like the song I think it will make the project more fun. I need to start thinking of ideas now. He doesn't sing about anything in particular besides his room. I think it might be a little hard to think of good ideas on what to film. I hope this goes smoothly and I can find plenty of things to film about. This is going to be really fun if it goes to my plan.

Genre Choice for Film

  After going through our pitches and thinking what the best genre would be, my partner and I have decided to go with the Drama option. The pitch for our short film best fits under the drama genre.  Due to our short film being about an abusive relationship, the acting will have to be very emotional and realistic which falls under drama.  We have started planning out how we are going to go through with the filming. There are a number of camera angles and movements that can be used for this genre that can help make our film more intriguing to the audience.  We can use pan movement as I am yelling and hitting to help show the setting as a whole.  Another example is, we can use high and low angles to show the gender power struggle in the short film.  On another topic, drama films don't include 0 much costumes, props, or makeup which makes it easier for my partner and I.  This allows us to focus more on camera techniques and acting.  We will still use ...
