Introduction to the Music Video Project

This is the introduction for the Music Video Project that will be accomplished by the November the 20th. I will be answering 4 questions, who I am working with, why, the name of the song that I am going to do and why. 

I decided that I will be working by myself for this project. The reason why I mainly made this decision is because I’ve been a team player all my life. How does this relate to this project, well because I’ve participated in numerous teams such as basketball teams track and football. Since I have worked all my life as a team player I decided that it would be beneficial if I work by myself on a major project like this. I also realized that if I would work with another player or in this case another member then I would have to split the work and I don’t like splitting. The reason why I don’t like splitting is because I feel like the person would not equally split the work . I would end up doing most of the work, and I know that from past experiences. On numerous projects I had no other choice but to work with another person. The outcome was I did 95% of the project and they ended up doing the rest 5% the day it was due. So I decided that if I have a major part like this one I will be working by myself, and that is the first reason for why I’m working by myself. The second reason I’m working by myself is because I do not have access to reach someone if I will be working with them. This project forces you to collaborate with other people in your class but due to coronavirus guidelines I cannot be working with my friends in this class. The final decision was either I work by myself and don’t worry about splitting the work or working with other people and have lots of fun and in the end I chose working solo.
The second question is what song am I choosing. This song that I was to choose had numerous guidelines for example no explicit lyrics. So this was a challenge that I was facing because I listen to a lot of songs with explicit lyrics. So I began searching and after a numerous amount of failed attempts I decided to think of what sounds mean or have the greatest message to me. I had not realized that the song that I would be doing was on the radio right now. Imagine Dragons have a long list of songs that have zero curse word for explicit language. So I scroll down through the long list of great songs by the Imagine Dragons and conclude that I will be doing Believers. Believe is a very motivational and inspirational song to me because it has such a great message behind it. This message is that pain makes you a believer and in the song itself, the lyrics continuously state “you made me a, you made me a believer, believer, pain!” So my search was over. I had chosen Believers.

 JOSEPH, Nervens 11th Grade Good morning, evening or night to whom it may concern- my name is Nervens Joseph and I am 16 year old currently enrolled in the 11th grader at Fort-Lauderdale Florida. I am in the Cambridge Magnet Program, and I also run track for the school. Within the next 18 sentence I intend to further elaborate about myself and the reasons why I am taking this course. To begin with, I am thankful to have an opportunity to grow and learn besides a wonderful group of students and teachers. This is my 2nd year taking As Level Cambridge courses and I am happy that I chose this class. This class in 6 short weeks has taught me detailed terms on Camera shots, Angles, and movements- Mise-en-Scene- and editing. I have been able to identify general terms used to describe shots and have already applied them to my normal everyday life. For instance, I was watching Fast and the Furious and I was able to identify different tilts, and angles such as a high angle in the beginning of th

 As I begin to advance in my filming processes, I discovered that filming is actually fun. I took two days off to film and to edit. so now I am basically done with the film I am relieved. Although my boss was mad, and I risk getting fired but my Cambridge diploma is worth more to me. What I have filmed... I have filmed primarily based on the storyboard. I am extremely proud that I have started filming and I am ready to wrap up the final project. I have faced many many challenges, from getting the proper props, to the financial aspect to my new job and no time. In my class, Media Studies, I have a very bad grade because I have not been blogging on time because I genuinely do not have any time anymore. I wake up at 5 in the morning, go to school until 3, then go to work right after school until 11. So I have 1 hour to film and I am not only exhausted but it's usually too late to be filming.  On my day off, I decided to start filming the first 2 scenes, but it was only seconds long.

Believers Music Video Editing Blog

I began editing my music video on December the 1st. This date was anticipated a lot earlier, however I have procrastinated and left time to catch me. Although I had procrastinated at the end of the day I know I would get the project done on time. I am anticipating to have my project finalized by the end of the week of the 7th. Now what have I discovered, learned, and done differently during this project? During the editing process I came a long way to where I am. I faced lots of issues and I knew I could get them fixed by trouble shooting them. During my editing process A lot of scenes were cut out and/or redone and did not make my final product. I did learn that, that’s ok to make mistakes and get them fixed. I had not yet filmed my flashback scene so I just got that done while I was editing.  Equipment  I used a 2018 IPhone XR for all the filming. ClipChamp was the main software that I used because it was free. IMovie however later I did not transport those cuts to my final product.
