Music Video Blog



Today's the day! The video above is the final product of my music video. For this blog, I will talk

about the experience before and after doing this video. Heading into this project I was a little nervous. I

was nervous because I didn't think I had the capability to recreate a music video. LIKE EVER! But I 

knew it had to get done so I went headfirst into it. The first step was to pick a song, this was where I 

had to use my creativity. Out of all the songs I ended up choosing "The Bigger Picture" by Lil Baby. 

The reason I decided to do this song was that Lil baby is one of my favorite rappers. Also, the meaning 

behind the song was the "black lives matters" movement. After the tragic death of George Floyd which 

was a man who lost his life at the hands of the police. Or the people that are supposed to "protect the 

people" and make the streets safer. George Floyd is just one of the black people who have lost their 

lives due to this type of brutality. I felt as if it was my calling to recreate this song specifically. In

the process of making this video, I had lots of fun. Especially with the making of it and the editing on 

the transitions. Even though in the video I may have a straight face I did enjoy it. Now, being done with

creating two videos one being a commercial and this one a music video. I've realized how much fun and

creativity that the people who do this for a living have to go through on a daily basis. I can't wait for the

next project. Hope you guys enjoy the video!

Filming Process

 For my Vans commercial the filming process went quite easily. I am going to explain step by step how the filming process went. To begin with, I had to make sure the setting was right. This meaning the area and the weather. It was raining for most of the weekend so luckily on Sunday I was able to start my film. This was also important because I wanted the video to start of with a sunset. Although I wasn't able to capture the sunset I was still able to capture the beautiful setting of the sun that day. After that I was able to gather my clothing. I wore two sets of the clothing in the film. The first being a black & white hat, a plain white T-shirt, khaki shorts, and my black & white checkerboard Vans. The second being a red & white visor, the same plain white T-shirts, the same khaki shorts, and my red & white checkerboard Vans. The purpose of this is so that the audience can see right of the bat what is being advertised to them. In many commercials people are ...

Introduction To The Music Video Project

Image
Good afternoon, my name is Nicholas Smith. Today, I was given the opportunity to create a music video project. Given to me by lovely teachers Mr. Katz and Ms. Marchionne. Through the AICE MEDIA department. This will be my second project given to me and I can't wait. For this project I've  decided to work on it by myself. Due to the current circumstances I have chosen to do this project  alone. I don't want to interfere with others resulting with risk of the life of myself and others. I believe  that doing this project alone is the safest option. For my project, I have decided to do "The Bigger  Picture." Which was made by Lil Baby an artist from Atlanta, Georgia. "The Bigger Picture" was the  in fact voted the most iconic song of the year. I decided to do this song as it speaks on the behalf of the  "black lives matter" movement. This song was created as a  reaction of the "George Floyd" killing.  George Floyd was 46 years old when he...
