Music Videos to Me

Music has a tendency to stir your emotions. It can make you feel overwhelmed with happiness or sadness. Every individual has a unique perception of a song they listen to. However, putting pictures to those melodious words can give a whole new meaning to it. Depending on how the director depicts the song using moving pictures, a whole new direction is given to it in a MUSIC VIDEO.

This idea came from a post I saw on Instagram months ago and a scene from my favorite TV show 'Breaking Bad'. With just two sources I thought of a storyline for a music video. It is apparent how my idea and the actual music video are completely dissimilar. This shows how every individual has an entirely different thought process (as mentioned before).

Research on Genres

I want to create a music video following the comedy and romance genre. To create such a text, I looked into the romance and comedy genre conventions that I could follow. These are some of the important points I noted down.  ROMANCE: COMEDY: I came across a table that showed the types of comedy. To my surprise, visual comedy (through editing) was not included.

Dignity Day Video

Today we celebrated dignity day in our school and being the head of filmmaking society I made a video about it. The video started off with a fun fast-paced soundtrack to create suspense and interest. I added text with a simple question, in the start, to encourage engagement with the audience; which is ironic since this video can be considered a part of hot media (which demands little interaction from the viewer/user).  Two interviews were added to give the video a documentary feel.  A smooth audio transition from the diegetic and non-diegetic sounds of the interviewee and background score respectively to an 'Urdu poetry' was made. The poetry was accompanied by slow-motion shots of students and lower staff members to give a dramatic effect.   https://youtu.be/kzJ9UjASq3c

Red talks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ICYXheEBoM&feature=youtu.be   With only a few pictures, recordings and some information available, I narrated and edited a video in a few hours for a friend for her project. This was a new experience for me in which I had to manage everything under pressure within a certain time frame. This equipped me with time management and organizational skills (since I had to organize the available content in a chronological order to make it clear and understandable).
