Intro Convention/Research Blog

         After a long process of completing our commercial, we are transitioning in completing a music video. Our group went through a lot of obstacles while completing our commercial, which set us back a lot. However, it allowed us to work together efficiently and effectively. We were able to get a hands on experience on Pinnacle Studios and learn how to use it. This ultimately helps us a lot because we will be editing our music video on there as well. I believe our experience with the music video will be much more smoother. We have more experience now and will be able to know what to do and what not to do.
          The song that we chose to do is called Love Don't Change by Jeremih. We chose to do this song because it's a throwback that we enjoy. It's a very passionate song that professes love about a female. In addition, it's a song that we would be able to do easily. We believe this because it's a man singing about a girl and there's one male in our group. There's also a variety of females in our group so we'll be able to do this song with ease. This keeps everything much more simple.
         The genre of the song is R&B. In a R&B song, it has a variety of topics. This can range from love, heartbreak, or etc. This songs are usually very emotion led and can be very intimate. This helps gravitate people to it and want to listen more. I believe this will be able to be replicated in our music video effectively. Which will ultimately give us the best grade possible.

C- R&B male singers usually wear tight shirts and jeans. They try to appeal to the female fans, and they often want to be seen as seductive. Tight shirts usually bring out they’re muscle fatigue, which most of them have.

L-In R&B videos they usually use dim lights inside of a small room, where they usually look through a window. This helps the audience feel the emotions he’s going through and it creates a sense of sadness. Sometimes they use natural lights to make the send me seem more realistic.


A- The actors in the RnB categories mostly consist of a lead male and female roles. In most of the RnB videos I seen the actors are usually in a relationship, getting out of one, or coming together.

M- In RnB videos the females wear make-up. I noticed that in the videos when the camera zooms in on the female you could see her make-up. So the use of make-up is to make the female more appealing in the video.

P- RnB music videos usually barely incorporate props. Due to the fact that most of the video focuses on the actors unless the Prop is what causes conflict between the actors.


S- In most RnB videos the setting takes place in a room with a back ground, or in a house. Some videos take place outside which will most likely be in the rain.

Shots- for the shots we want to use a extreme close up, to show the actors expression and his emotions. We’re also going to use a two-shot because we realized in lots of love song music videos it shows the boy and the girl. Lastly, we’re going to use a point of view shot because it symbolizes what the main character sees; usually they show how the guy sees the girl walking or laughing in slow motion.

Angles- We want to use the eye level angle because in a lot of music videos the actor is looking up while singing. We’re also going to use a Dutch because we want to make the sense more
