Difficulties faced making my MV

 Difficulties faced making music video

Making a music video for a selected song was a challenge for me because I did not have enough resources, and that had an impact on selecting my song as well. Since I only had one character available to utilize and did not have a large cast, I faced difficulties in bringing my full creative vision to life. I had to carefully plan everything according to the limitations I had.

Here are some tips I used to cope up

  1. Keep it simple: I focused on a straightforward storyline that did not require a large cast. Since I only had one character, I made sure the concept was emotionally strong instead of complex.

  2. Get creative with roles:  As I did not have multiple actors, I used props, simple costume choices, and editing techniques to make the character more expressive and engaging.

  3. Play with camera angles: I used close-ups, over-the-shoulder shots, and different framing styles to create variety. This helped make the video visually interesting even though there was only one character.

  4. Use locations wisely: I filmed in locations like the bedroom, garden, and terrace. Since I did not have access to many places, I changed camera positioning and lighting to make each location feel different and meaningful.

  5. Control lighting naturally: I did not have professional lighting equipment, so I depended mostly on natural lighting. I adjusted the time of shooting to create different moods in each scene.

  6. Limit costume changes strategically: Because I kept the costume simple and realistic, I used colour tones and minimal styling to reflect emotion instead of dramatic outfit changes.

  7. Time management: Managing school work while producing the music video was challenging. I had to plan my shooting days carefully to avoid stress and delays.

  8. Emotional performance challenge: Since I only had one character and not a large cast, the emotional performance became very important. I had to make sure the expressions and body language clearly showed the mental health theme without exaggeration.

Overall, even though I did not have a large cast or many resources, I was able to adapt my concept to fit my limitations. By keeping the idea simple and focusing on emotion, I was still able to create a meaningful and effective music video.

Genre and Mood exploration

 Here, I aimed to explore the genre and mood of similar songs to examine how the music video concept has been developed, and to investigate how the music video's narrative (the story) relates to the song's actual theme. The main theme and genre of my choice of song (Numb little bug )    Main theme - mentalillness, post liminal sad but beautiful Genre - Indie pop Some songs that depict a similar concept to the post-liminal theme and the genre of indie pop Ceilings by Lizzy McAlpine Heather by Connan Gray Ceiling By Lizzy McAlapine  Theme - Grief and blurred memory after a breakup Genre - Indie pop  The main meaning of the song  can be interpreted in two ways: as a lingering feeling of a broken relationship or as the aftermath of an imagined scenario. The song can be taken as an understanding of the real-world situation of a breakup, even though the relationship wasn't real. How does the song lyric match the post-liminal concept?  First chorus - The ch...

Behind the scenes

 Here I'll show the behind-the-scenes of me filming my music video Here the camera was not the actors face is not in the middle of the screen so the shot was not right Here the camera was not the actor's face was not in the middle of the screen so the shot was not right I  first wanted to take the shot where the dog was sitting beside her, but it was a failure because it did not show any interest, so we took the shot with the dog sitting down and looking up Small mistake She did not look angry enough in this shot  I did not include this clip in the last MV It was actually a very fun experience filming the MV, but we also had an annoying number of mistakes which we had to correct and move forward. These show the wrong takes and the bloopers of filming (behind the scenes)

Practicing Photography of backgrounds(locations)

 Here I will be practicing some photography with different backgrounds that bring out different moods Places Melancholy Place - A lane with houses This picture feels calm but a little lonely. The empty stone road and quiet houses make it seem peaceful, like no one is around. The dark clouds with bits of blue sky give it a dramatic feeling, like rain might come soon. It feels calm, quiet, and a little sad in a nice way. Scenes to film in this background  (empty road and cloudy sky) can be used for a dramatic walking away scene, someone feeling lonely or lost. it can also be for a new beginning scene like someone coming to a new town. it’s good for a quiet talking moment between two characters or just before a storm to make it feel suspenseful. Serenity Place - A tea cultivation This background gives a very peaceful and calming feeling. The green tea bushes in the front with the mountains in the distance make it feel natural and quiet. The orange and pink sunset adds a warm, dre...
