Codes and conventions 2

We are now beginning a new project in which we will be making a music video. I am personally very excited to work on this this project, I have been looking forward to this since the fist day. I also like the song that we are using. We can improve on some things that we did wrong before. We will also most likely use my film camera for those pictures, so we can tape them onto the book.

As a group we chose to do a music video on a song called rocketeer, by ‘Far East movement’. In this music video it begins with him and a girl, then it cuts to him hanging out with his friends. This shows that he is enjoying life and having fun. It also has a few visuals of him riding his skateboard. This is played especially when the first beat drops in the song. The video just displays a regular day, him skating, and another man hanging with his pals and their cars.



1. In our music video we will be on the beach, so we would be wearing bathing suits. There will be other times, however, were we will be on a basketball court for a picture, in which we will be wearing  clothes for basketball. There will also be a picture that we will be in a restaurant and laughing, so we will be wearing regular attire, maybe jeans and a t-shirt.
 2. In most of the pictures in the book, it will be daytime. This is except for the picture that we will zoom into, which will be set at night. We might use a flash for some shots though.
3. In our music video we will have an adult hat is later in life, maybe a father, that will grab the book an open it. Then the pictures will be of us at the beach or in a restaurant. Once it zooms into the main picture, we will have a few teenagers acting naturally. We will be at the beach playing volleyball or playing with sparklers.
4. We will not be using make-up in our video, as we want to put out a natural and relaxed mood. There might be somebody wearing make-up, but it would be coincidental.
5.  Throughout the video we will be using a hefty amount of props. This could include the sparklers that we are using at the beach. It would also include the book of pictures that will be used at the beginning of the video. There also might be some other props like a basketball at the court, or some food at the restaurant.
6. The video will start off inside of a house, in a room, where the subject will grab the book. Then we will have different settings in all the pictures in the book, like a park or a basketball court. The main setting; however, will be at the beach.
