  Name: __Ivy Heath______________________   Creative Critical Reflection 1.       How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?   My music video is much different than what I had originally planned and stated in my conventions. I created a whole different vibe and a less “yeehaw” typical country music video. I made it simple and just a smooth and calm vibe. I also did not have tons of for say “country” themed items in my video. It was more just a run-down version of one with more things focused on the message on the song and not simply the genre stereotypes. I did follow what I put in my plan somewhat. I included the flowers and sunrise, which helped create that rundown down which I was aiming towards. I got a very pretty clip of the sunset off my dock and it fit the vibe that I was going for perfectly. The rest of my video I used videos of my family and pets. I took a video of my d...

  Above is my finished music video on the song Six Feet Apart by Luke Combs. It took me a total of three days to complete the filming and editing process of my Music Video. Thankfully my brother and dad were around the house and able to help me film my video. They were a big help and I got some good videos of them for my video. I also used my pets for certain parts of my video. I took videos of my chickens along with my dog. I tried getting some of my cat but, she didn't do anything and just went to sleep. For a few parts of my video I used old pictures taken before the virus and used them in my video. I used these pictures to help symbolize the parts of the song where it talks about missing how it used to be. I also found some pictures online and ones I had personally taken to represent the pandemic currently going on. For example, when he sings "But the news has all been bad,  And the whole world seems so sad", I included pictures of news heading that have to do with th...

 Since the last blog, I have gotten tons of work done. I have filmed every single one of my clips for my music video. I have completed the majority of my editing, and am planning on finishing it tomorrow afternoon. I have tried with such a tight window of time to get enough clips to put together and I believe that I have done that. Im still working on my editing to make sure my video flows but, all of the clips at the moment fit together and fit with the song. In order to get the filming accomplished I had to film some at night because I didn't have enough time during the daytime. I had my brother and dad help me with the acting part of the film. It took lots of toys because my brother won't being very cooperative. He keep running away and saying I had to pay him in order to film him. I finally got him to help me and it ended up working out. I am going to finish editing by mending the clips together. I also have to match the song up with the audio. Once i've done that I wil...

 As of today, I have started filming multiple clips for my music video. I got most of the clips for my introduction of the video. I have to add a few more parts to the first half but for the most part I have it finished.  I started by filming the sunrise over my dock and through my yard. This gave a very nature like vibe and fit perfectly with the song. I then recorded some clips with my parents and brother. I got some clips of them hugging and other of them just casually interacting. My brother wasn't super cooperative but I finally got him to accept the fate and just do it. I was only able to get a few clips though because my parents were busy. I am hoping in the next couple of days I am able to get a few more with them and my brother. I need to also find some news paper articles either online or on paper to record, to use for a part of the song. I have some more ideas besides what I have previously stated that I might create and use in my videos but, I am not sure yet becau...

 So over the past week I have thought of many ideas to create my music video. I have planned out my whole video and I am ready to get to working on it. I have been very busy lately and haven't been able to actually start the filming process. But, if everything goes according to plan I will be starting sometime this week. My filming process shouldn't take too long since the video is only one minute long. I am hoping that my brother and parents will help me with filming and being actors. When I begin filming, I am going to have to make up early enough to film the sunrise, or I could wait  till night and film the sunset. I also will have to find a good angle to film to opening scene at. I have to make sure it gives the right effect to make sure its good. I also have to make sure I have people that I can film or film me. So I have to work around multiple peoples schedules together in order to film my commercial. Once I get all my clips filmed ill be able to put them together and e...

 First Scene: In the first scene, its going to be very nature esc and I am going to film flowers, grass, and the sunrise. I'm going to film pretty scenes that really give off the right vibe for the song and music video.  Second Scene:  I am going to show a news article or video clip of a study of the corona virus. Then, I'm going to show people sitting around looking sad and then I might end up going into another room or just a scenic clip. Third Scene: I am going to show my Mom and Dad and them going around hugging and shaking the hands of some of my family and friends. I may end up filming it where they aren't actually touching anyone to show how because of corona your not able to.  Fourth Scene: In the next scene I'm going to show old videos of people at concerts of at festivals giving the vibe of how we are missing that in our life right now. Fifth Scene:  Showing how there can be light after all of this dark we've had by showing people happy and all togethe...
