Planning Storyboard for my Music Video

 

1st Scene

The video will start off with a black screen. I will accomplish this through editing in post. 

2nd Scene

This scene will fade in along with the music. I'll be telling my friend the first line, "I hear Brenda's got a baby...."

3rd Scene

The camera will slightly shift the focus to my friend who says his line, "that's not our problem...", in response to mine.

4th Scene

The shift will shift back to myself and I will rebut his statement with my own, "Well, let me show you..."

5th Scene

From this point, we will start to walk towards the camera as I begin to tell Brenda's story. 

6th Scene

Once we get to a certain point, the camera will also being moving backwards slightly to keep both myself, and my friend, in frame. My line here will be, "its sad 'cause I bet Brenda doesn't even know...", and I will have a slightly disappointed look on my phase. 


7th Scene

In this scene, I will switch to a medium shot to capture more of our upper bodies. I hope to focus in this specific point in the song using this shot. 

8th Scene

The medium shot will continue to be used in this scene and shocked expressions from my friend will be emphasized while I recite my line, "Brenda got herself a boyfriend...." 

9th Scene

The shot will go back to a full body shot and I will utilize hand gestures while reciting the "belly's getting bigger" line. 

10th Scene

Slight focus will still be on my gestures in this scene. Though,  here I will be  describing the, "notice any change in her figure" line. 

11th Scene

Both myself and my friend's movement will cease in this scene and I will deliver the final line of the song. At this point my friend will have an enlightened look on his face.

12th Scene

The video will fade back into black and end. 


*The entire video may be in black in white in order to capture the mood that the song is trying to create. Excessive colors and vibrancy will counter the feeling the song is trying to create.

Planning For My Music Video

  Planning For My Music Video Song Title:  The title of the song I intend to use is Brenda's Got a Baby. It was made by Tupac Shakur in 1991. The song, which features R&B singer Dave Hollister singing background vocals with Roniece Levias, is about a 12-year-old girl named Brenda who lives in a ghetto and has a baby she can't support. Props: I do not intend to use any props within my music video. The music video will only involve actors and a particular setting.  Costumes: I intend to dress in a style that is reminiscent of 90s rap attire. I will be wearing some form of baggy pants as well as a baggy shirt. I will either be wearing a pair of Nike Airforce 1s or a pair of Timberland Boots, which were common choices for footwear in the 90s. I plan having another person within the video as an actor and he will be wearing similar attire.  Location: The location of the video will an empty street. I will be walking down a street within my video so any empty street in a...

Final Task Filming/Editing: Adjusting to Schedules and Identifying Music

Image
 Adjusting to Schedules and Identifying Music      Filming did not go as I'd previously scheduled. 11th graders at our school had to take the SAT on March 3rd, 2021. I had planned for filming to begin on March 3rd  and continue into March 4th, however my other participants did not feel that they could come out to film after taking the test. This is understandable, and I respect the fact that they may need some down time after being tested for 5 hours. In the meantime, I began research on possible music choices that I could use in my film. I'm going to need three different types of background music in my film: upbeat hip hop music, casual hip-hop music, and dramatic music. For the hip-hop instrumentals, I looked into Homage Beats, who is a beat producer who makes a wide variety of hip hop beats. I am familiar with Homage's work because I have used some of it in past videos (personal). I have identified 6 different beats which I think fit my film very well, a...

Genre Research: White Men Can't Jump

Image
What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have?    The movie, despite having some comedy within it, has serious undertones. The topics within the movie are a few of the typical topics that are tackled within drama films: financial instability, addiction, and racial politics. The movie has many funny one liners and comedic scenes, but you cannot avoid the fact that Sidney's family is struggling financially and he does not have the funds to move them to a safer part of Los Angeles, and Billy is in some severe debt to mobsters and also has a gambling addiction. The two, seemingly very different characters, use basketball as a common ground to build a friendship and create a financial foundation that they have not had for a while. The film shows that there will always be a point at which two people can cooperate regardless of how different their backgrounds are. The film also utilizes some of the typical camera shots and angles of drama m...
