Music Video Finale

Hey guys and people out there reading this and welcome to my newest blog post on William Incorporated. This post is special in one way. Do you know how it is special? Well, if you haven't all realized, there is only about 2 more full weeks of school left counting this week. That is actually pretty crazy considering that I think that the year flew by so quick. But, I have something to tell you guys. This actually is going to be my last blog post. Apparently because I am going to be moving to Michigan. Yes and this is not a dare from any of my friends to tell you guys out there that I am going to be moving. But if you do live in Michigan, well Michigan here I come. But anyways, this blog post is not about my departure nor is it about the ending of school. This blog post is about the most speculator and most funniest out of all the projects. You know what it is?! It is MUSIC VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!! You probably would have gotten that considering that you got the word "Music Video" from the title. But, yes the music videos are here and I am teamed up with Elijah O'Day and once again Andrew James Galiza. I chose these teammates because I have never gone with Elijah for a project when I wanted to while Andrew has all the equipment we all need and plus, we all live close to each other so we can plan things easier. I know you guys really want to get through with this intro paragraph of me saying things to you and get tthe interesting part so I will let. But, let me wrap up this intro first though. So, in the next paragraph, I will be basically explaining the story behind the song we chose and how it relates to the lyrics. And now, here is the paragraph to this next blog post.

First off I want to start off with explaining what is a music video in case you don't know. A music video is a video that has visuals that are similar to what the story of the song is. For example, here is a link to a music video on YouTube that will help your understanding on music videos. With that out of the way, now lets get to the point of what I wanted to talk about in this paragraph. So our song that we chose was "Animals" by Maroon 5. This song that we chose of course to make a music video needed a story. So, our story is about 3 boys (that are us) are basically in the beginning working until when the music come on, they throw the books everywhere and then exit the room. After they exit the room, they are basically lip syncing all the way out until when they reach the car to go to the Sleeping Giants trail. Once they arrive there, they start hiking and then they do a dance on a flat surface. At the end they do a howl like how the music does. But, to sum it all up, basically these three boys want to become animals. One thing that shows that is when they put mud on their faces and go up the trail to howl in the end. But anyways, the lyrics you can tell talk about animals right? So, the lyrics of the song relates to our music videos by the boys want to become animals in the end. I will not tell you if they did become animals or not but the point of this music video is the journey and the feeling of these boys on their journey to becoming animals. Here is the first paragraph of this blog post.

So, in this body paragraph, I am going to be talking about my favorite fast-edit montage sequence. In our Music Video, there were many fast-edit montage sequences but I really like one and that is the one that I am going to share. So, first of, what is a fast-edit montage. Well if you press that link above, that will take you to a page that talks about what is a fast-edit montage. So, what are we waiting for?! Lets get back into the blog post! In the Music video, there was a fast-edit montage sequence that I really loved and that I want to share to you guys about. The fast-edit montage was when we were dancing to our own choreography. The choreography part was Andrew's idea and he wanted us in our Music Video to dance because that what he likes to do, but it really came out well and it fit with our storyline. Also, another example of a really good fast-edit montage is when we are walking done the hallway in the beginning of the song because it changed shots instead of making one shot really long and then cutting to a short shot. In other Music Videos, you might not see this skill used that much and some teams like ours made there Music Videos have a lot of fast-edited montage sequence shots to keep the audience interested and intrigued instead of bored and dumbfound. Well, here is another paragraph of this last blog post to you guys gone and now we move onto the conclusion paragraph of this last blog post that I will be writing.


A paragraph like this is what makes my expectations to increase especially when this is going to be my last blog post. But lets not focus on that especially when this paragraph is not about what is going to happen in the future. This paragraph is about our opinion if in this project we showed everything that we learned this and if we applied the skills we learned this year for our last project. Well this paragraph will explain the answer to you and how we showed what we learned all year. Lets get to it! So in this project, we did many things that showed of what we learned. First off, what is iMovie and how do we use it properly. We showed this by applying all the things that Mr. Sandrel taught us to do in iMovie. Another thing that I applied in this project is my knowledge of PhotoShop. In our Music Video, we did a title page that has us and the song title as well with the artist. Like I have said the artist of this song is Adam Levine as well with his band Maroon 5. A third thing that we applied to our Music Video is our knowledge of camera techniques. In our Music Video, we have a lot of camera shaking that is good to keep the audiences attention during the film. We also use a lot of wide and medium shots so we don't get the audience bored with one plain wide shot that shows everything that is going on. One other thing that we showed in our Music Video that we learned is how to work as a team. A team involves very high cooperation because if you didn't have this, then your technically not called a team, you would be called a technical team which means a team that has problems that causes them not to succeed. Also, a team involves very high productivity and compassion towards others. If you  have these qualities, then whatever you have a team for, you are most not likely to finish the deed that has to be accomplished. But anyways, here are some tips about teamwork and you can find more about the meaning of working as a team on http://hrweb.mit.edu/learning-development/learning-topics/teams/articles/basics. So, in this case, this leads us to the last thing that we used in our Music Video. The final thing is to having fun to do these types of projects. Mr. Sandrel have been telling us all year that whenever you have fun in your film, the audience gets interested. Now, William Incorporated is officially closing. I don't know if I will ever use this blog ever again but I am sure to keep guys updated on the polls so you guys can have fun even though I am not putting posts on my blog anymore. Well, it has been a nice pleasure to write for you guys to represent my G.T. class. Bye Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or Maybe.
