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!

Media Assessement

In this video, we went full swing on editing and mise-en-scene.  Action-Match and short takes prevented the video from being boring due to the limited camera angles and movements. Animation, adding layers of lower opacity, black and white tint effect, reverse and repeat effect made the music video look more interesting. Write-on and flash effects were used to introduce the title in an innovative way.  We used two studio lights, positioned at 45 degrees from the centre, with translucent white and red filters. A third light was used to form a rim of light behind the actress.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rfe_siD6IE

Planning My Music Promotional Video

Even though, I have a general idea of the storyline of my music video, thinking of specific situations I want to portray can be challenging. I don't want to base my music video on a single problem which will make it very boring, so I've decided to incorporate many different situations in the video in a jumbled order. I made rough sketches of the different shots I wanted to take and the effects of wanted to add.                      I want to take a long video clip in which the actor is in the middle of the road and cars are moving beside him. The clip will be sped up to create a timelapse with lines of light created by the lights of the car. 

Inspiration for new song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPmcLzgnlo8  : This song ' BIG LOVE ' by Black-eyed Peas  is a song that tears me up every time I listen to it.  I love how in this video there isn't one singer, rather everyone is lip singing together creating a sense of unity.  This may depict that everyone who (is a victim of a school shooting or is being oppressed by the government) is going through this problem isn't alone and that everyone is filled with love and should help each other. This aspect made the video far more emotional. Since this had a strong impact on me, I wanted to use a similar idea for my music video.    ' NO T TOO LATE ' by Lemaitre'   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14Go3Jm1knc My interpretation of the song may be completely different to what it was supposed to convey. However, that's the beauty of perception. Thereafter, according to me; this song shows how in life there are difficulties. Everyone goes through har...
