 I am going to be filming a music video to the song Billie Jean by Michael Jackson because the song is a pop song the audience would usually see the performers and he artists taking part in big stage performances. They wear costumes that usually consist of flashy clothes and things that stand out to get the crowd or whoever they're performing to interested in them more. The props include a mic, clothes with bright colors, and shoes that catch the eye. Their appearance is usually happy and bubbly. The score through pop music video commercials are the performer's good singing which of course, attracts the audience when they sound good. Conventions and code in a pop music video commercial are the consistent upbeat music and they try to symbolize their money usually with some flashy car or an expensive house. In the commercial the props are always angled to show the lifestyle of a pop singer while they dance with the mic which will automatically make the audience know they're p

Introduction to the Music Video Project

I am not working with anyone. I chose not to work with a partner because I feel as though I get distracted. I get so caught in whether they're going to do their part in the assignment. Instant worry washes over me and then I end up not getting my work done. So its best when I just work by myself. The name of the song I decided to choose is Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson. The reason I picked this song is because its nostalgic. I remember I was 6 years old and they had this game called the Michael Jackson experience I don't remember the exact name. It was basically like a Just Dance but only to Michael Jackson songs and that was the first song I was interested in when playing. The whole structure and rhythm of the song is what caught me first considering the fact that I love to sing. The little adlibs and high pitched singing was the best part. I would always get happy every time I heard just the beginning of the song because it was that good. I sat up all night learning the

The dead grass is to emphasize how dry outside is and how the coke will refresh you. Backup Plan:  If it decides to rain or I get overwhelmed with doing things by myself I may include people

 I will be doing a Coke commercial, in these type of commercials coke is usually bringing people together or refreshing someone's thirst. The costumes are usually different in every coke ad sometimes its flashy or casual they don't really have a certain LOOK when it comes to their commercials. Props include the Coke can or bottle The appearance is bubbly and cheerful. The score in commercials affiliated with coke are upbeat sounds that are used to make the audience watching the commercial feel happy. Conventions and Codes in a Coke commercial is the well Coca Cola signature followed by the slogan "Taste The Feeling". This slogan is telling the audience to just taste the Coke and see how happy you feel.  In the commercial the props show a person drinking think and giving off a refreshed sigh afterwards. The sigh gives the audience a sense of how good coke is and how good it makes you feel. The commercial can sometimes include famous celebrities whether it be a basketba

I have a family of 6 so that includes my 3 brothers, me and my parents. I watch a lot of Law & Order: SVU it’s honestly one of my favorite shows.
