Sky Walker Music Video Research Blog

We submitted our commercial, finalized all edits and completed our creative critical research  . Somethings in the commercial that we are improving when filming our music video is story boarding accurately . During the commercial our storyboard didn't work out for us being that we had to long of a shot in a storyboard . This time we know that we will storyboard clearly so during filming we wont have have to re-think the whole production . Also timing and being prepared is very important in creating our production being that last time we almost missed our due date because we lacked materials. My group mates and I have already started planning our location and materials list.

The song that we are using is Sky Walker by Miguel. We are using this song because this is a very chill song that you can vibe to and that is what we were looking for. We can all relate to this song and we love the energy that it gives off. We like the chillness and we believe that we can really connect with this song. Not only can we connect with this song, but we also have a good story to go with the song. We instantly had ideas when we heard this song and that made us want to do this song even more. We all agree that this song is the best choice for us,

R&B songs usually carry many conventions , However we plan on challenging some. Some conventions are different Sounds such as Score, ambient sound, and no sound. Another convention is the editing of the music video such as Flash pan, cutaway, dissolve, fade in, shot/reverse shot, eye-line match, and reaction shot. One more convention is the Camera angles/shots movements which could vary from long shot, medium long shot, close up, two shot, aerial shot, over-the-shoulder shot, tracking shot, and hand held. When filming our music video we plan to continue with the convention with the camera angles . However we plan on creating a smoother music video and challenging the normal R&B conventions.
