Introduction to the Music Video Project

For this project, I will be creating a music video. I have decided to work by myself on this project. I have found that I work at a better pace by myself and am understanding of my limits. Besides, my ideas are often scattered and something usually only I understand fully. I am also pretty indecisive when it comes to creating so I think I am just better off working on my own. The name of the song I chose is 'Six Feet Apart' by Alec Benjamin. Alec Benjamin is a male pop/indie artist that creates music about mental health and relatable things that people might be going through. I chose this song because I feel that it is an important element of quarantine to address. A significant issue during quarantine is the feeling of being alone or missing the people you love. This topic, although common, I feel is highly overlooked as to others, feelings like these may be seen as not a big deal. This song is relevant to society today because of COVID-19. People who have not been able to be around their loved ones have been feeling stressed, anxious, and/or depressed because they miss normal life and the feeling of being able to be around their loved ones without getting sick or the guilt of getting them sick. Making music about this topic works as an outlet for people with mental health issues. There is an entire spectrum of mental disorders like anxiety disorders, PTSD, psychotic disorders, eating disorders, and many more. COVID-19 can cause panic and chaos in terms of supervision of people with mental issues. Being left alone can cause them to spiral and possibly hurt themselves. This entire experience can just be traumatizing, not only for those with mental health, but those who just simply get bored. It can lead to dangerous experimentation or something worse. Therefore, this song can be just the beginning to a journey of coping for people. My intent for this production is to make people feel understood.

Filming Blog        As mentioned in earlier blogs, filming took place inside my home. Filming took place on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. I knew that since I was the only one in the commercial, it would be simpler to finish. That also came with its disadvantages though. For certain shots, specifically in the 1 st , 2 nd , and 7 th scenes, I needed someone else to hold the camera since I was the subject of the film. However, somehow, I made it work perfectly by sing objects around my house like shelves or chairs with wheels. The main difficulty I had was quiet on set. My dog continuously would bark or squeak his chew toy. I resulted to closing multiple doors to drown out his noises and keep him in one place for the small duration of time. Another mild difficulty I had was lighting. There were times where the brightness would be too high on the camera so it would not be compatible with the lighting of the room, or the lighting was so low that it made the camera quality worse. I had to se

   My name is Bremari Henry. I am a 16-year-old in the eleventh grade. Within the previous years, I have learned a couple things about myself. I am a fast learner, and I also work very well when it comes to group work or communicating with others. I signed up for digital media because I always wanted to explore every aspect of art, whether it was music, dance, drawing (digitally or on paper), or design. Even though I was put into AICE Media, it is still a start into exploring a form of art, which is film. Emotions or intentions can be captured by the directorial choices in a film. I think it would do my imagination some good since I have quite a wide range of it.    This comes into play when I participate in the clubs I attend around school. I happen to be Vice President  of AMIE, a club about unity and normalizing touchy subjects that you would not necessarily want to talk about with your parents or guardians in general.  I also attend FCCLA where we learn skills in hospitality.

CCR- Music Video Project

  Creative Critical Reflection How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?  - My product is a music video to "Six Feet Apart" by Alec Benjamin. My product breaks the conventions of a pop music video. Most pop videos have a lot of color in them, representing happiness and cheer. I think this video disbands that idea. People in society start to feel anxious and panicked when everyone nut the is happy. This can severely damage a person physically and mentally. 2. How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text?     -My product would be distributed through YouTube or Instagram IGTV. I would aim it for audiences who can relate. Sometimes, it is hard to be alone. Whether it is you feel worthless or paranoid or even overwhelmed by the silence. My goal is to make all of those people feel seen.   3.       How did your production skills develop throughout this project
