Changing the song for my Music Video

I tend to change my song preference quite easily depending on my mood. After listening to 'NOT TO LATE' many times and trying to think about ideas, the rather uplifting melody of 'CRUSH' greatly appealed to me. The first time I stumbled upon this song, I instantly got hooked onto it and decided to make its music promotion video.

The music video of CRUSH (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiAuAJBZuGs) is as entertaining as the song itself. This was one of the factors that drove me to change my song. I was appealed by the idea of creating a fun and cheerful music video consisting mainly of dance sequences, cool editing, and animations rather than compiling a series of different narratives that would require a lot more effort to make it interesting. 

Another music video that I am a fan of is 'Got Me Feeling Like' by Trevor Moran (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOKdZbwEMFY). I came across this song before the start of this school session and have had the urge to create something similar ever since. The song 'Crush' gave me a similar enthusiastic and energetic vibe and hence I couldn't go back to making a video on 'Not Too Late'. 

The only thing left now is to find an actress with those moves!

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).
