AICE Media Studies

 Since my group and I recorded a lot of shots for the music video, it took me quite a bit to finish editing.  To start off, I decided a video editing software. I moved all of the media to that software. I chose iMovie to edit the footage because it is extremely easy to use. Next, I made sure to organize the footage. I went through all of it and decided what to keep and what not to keep. I understood that I could not keep all of the media. So, it took me a while to examine each video carefully. I chose what felt right and necessary. Organizing the media allowed me to not confuse things when editing. Then, I trimmed the footage. I made sure to trim out any unnecessary parts of the footage. Also, I checked to see that the transitions are not choppy nor out of place. I tried to make the transitions as possible. My group and I adjusted the clips together and added the audio.  Of course, I encountered a few problems when editing. When piecing the videos together, it did not tur...

 First Scene In the first scene, there will be a driving scene. In this scene, the boy takes a left. The song starts out with "taking a left." Second Scene In the second scene, it will take place in a park. This is where the couple will be interacting.  Third Scene Obviously, anything could happen. So, if there is bad weather or other unpredictable circumstance, the interaction would take place in a dining room/diner. Fourth Scene In the next scene, the couple would be seen lip-synching a part of the song. Or the couple could do nothing as the song plays. This will take place on the hood of the car. Preferably at night. Fifth Scene In this scene, the couple will be arguing. The girl will be seen walking away. Sixth Scene In this scene, the boy will attempt to go after the girl.  Seventh Scene This scene will show that the boy has other options. The other girl's contact name would be "girl #2" with a heart emoji. Eighth Scene This scene will show the first girl a...

The title of the song is Indecisive (Favorite Song). The song is based on someone describing their feelings towards a girl and to which the storyline should match accordingly. The only props required would be a car and some food. The car would be for maybe a scene in the car where the two are conversating. The food would be for a scene where they talk over lunch or dinner whether it be at a restaurant or in the car. One that may be required as well is a lamp or something of the sort for lighting. This is to make sure every scene comes out as clear as possible. The costumes would be a regular wardrobe. Everyday clothes to make the video natural and comfortable. A change of clothes is optional for different scenes but if there is only one set of clothes throughout, then that is fine.  Location is something that has some difficulties. Weather plays a big role in deciding the location. An outside public like a park is somewhere more likely we would meet. If it does happen to rain, then...

 The genre of Indecisive is R&B.  R&B, also known as Rhythm and Blues, is a genre of popular music that can be combined with different elements of music, such as pop, hip hop soul, and much more. The concept of R&B has changed over the years. In early R&B music videos, males were formally dressed and were displayed to be sophisticated. Sometimes, in modern R&B music videos, males are seen topless or wearing designer clothes. The purpose of this is to target the female audience. Often, male artists wear certain clothes or accessories to appear "swag." This style is popular among teenagers, especially African American teenagers. Women can be seen in many different ways in R&B music videos. Women are presented in a sexual manner. They would be seen wearing minimal clothing and heavy makeup. This appeals to the male audience, due to the way the females are embracing their looks and behavior. They can also be seen wearing certain heels to make their legs se...

For the music video project, I decided to work with two other people. I believe that it is best for me to work on this project in a group. Since I am not capable of creating creative works without the help of someone else. Also, I just feel more comfortable working with others. I think this will be a difficult project, so I would not be able to work on this myself. I am working with Roy Boaquin and Gabriella McFarlane. I am sure that they will be able to help me out. I chose to work with them because I believe that they are responsible and just good people overall. They are my friends and we get along well. Also, I trust them to work on this project with me. So, I am not worried about them not doing their part. I think working with them will be a fun experience. We all could learn from this project.  The song we chose is Indecisive. This is a really nice song. Indecisive is Roy's song. He is a very good singer. He has a nice voice and you can vibe to his music. We decided to choose...

1. My product uses conventions by that I clarified about the product to help readers to completely understand what my product is used for. I would say that this product is welcome to all hair types. Growing up, I struggled to find hair brushes that will not cause unnecessary damage to my hair. I have tightly coiled hair so, my hair is hard to tame. Those with the same hair type as me, or a hair type closer than it, finally know a product that is pain-free and detangles just fine. 2. My product engages with audiences by that we all struggled to find the right tools that would work for our hair. It is important for us to choose products that will work for our hair and prevent hair damage. This would be distributed as a real media text through a commercial. A commercial would do good at explaining this product more. People will be informed about how this product can work for your hair and reduce damage.  3.I would say that my production skills improved a bit while working on the comme...

First, I went through each take and trimmed the unnecessary parts. Then, I merged and trimmed all of the takes on iMovie. To avoid choppy transitions, I further trimmed the video on an app called Splice. This way I can be sure that the commercial goes smoothly.  There will also be fast beat music throughout the commercial. Finding the music was a simple process. All I did was screen record the music and used an app to add the music to the commercial. This was easier than I thought.  In the last scene, there is a before and after scene. For that, I took two pictures and I added both of them in a collage. Then, I merged that collage into the commercial. This way, viewers will see the difference the detangling brush makes. In the fifth scene, I sped it up. This way, viewers will see how fast the detangler works. Also, they will see that you do not need to brush for a long time.  One scene had about 2-4 takes. I have six scenes in total. Merging and trimming took a while. I h...

I filmed The Knot Dr. commercial in front of a solid background. I filmed it on my phone. Since I was unable to have anyone to film, I decided to film a mannequin head instead. I made sure that the mannequin's hair is unruly and tangled up. I explained in the voiceover that the mannequin's hair has been known to be untamed. I added a zoom-in shot on the mannequin's disheveled hair to show the situation of the hair. Mannequins can't move, so I filmed someone browsing through the internet for the product. In the next scene, I filmed a close up of the product. I made sure to show the shape of the bristles and the way they are positioned. I also filmed a case that comes with it. I tried to get the right angles of the brush. I recorded an extra scene showing how the product fits in a handbag. The mannequin is shown to have dampened hair. This was to show the efficiency of the product. I proceeded to detangle hair with the product. In this scene, I filmed how smoothly the det...
