For the final project, I will be doing a music video with Michael Fracassa. This music video with be following the typical love story and how a shy boy has fallen for an outgoing girl. This music video would fall under the romantic/comedy. This boy and girl will consist of Michael and I as actors. We will both act and film our music video. The background story to this music video is that Michael is a very single and awkward boy looking for happiness and romance. Also his family is nagging him to look more presentable and get a girlfriend. Finally Michael decides to try dig deep into his love life but fails. We will show 3 quick shots of horrible dates. This entire segment will be before the music starts to show the background to Michael’s life. Once the music starts, the audience will start to see Michael transform in his looks and confidence. The next scene is Michael sitting at the library (on campus) and he notices me (the girl). I will have a grand slow motion entrance to give it a more dramatic look. Once he notices myself, he starts daydreaming about being with this girl. These daydreams will consist of singing to her (like he is a pop star), going to the zoo together, and jumping in a pool with all their clothes on. This daydreaming makes the video more fun to make and more fun for the audience to watch. This whole video will be shot with mine and Michael’s DSLR cameras (cannons). We plan on making the video look as realistic as possible by not using many static shots. We look forward to shakey cams, extreme close ups, and lots of movement and rhythm (with video and music). Also we plan on using quick shots back and forth to different daydream scenarios so the video isn’t boring for the audience. For editing we are going to use Final Cut Pro since we both have experience and feel comfortable with that software. I am excited to work with Michael for this group project because we both collaborate well together. We both agreed on the music, video, and editing aspects for this final project which makes things less stressful and fun. We plan on this video being 4 minutes long since there will be a narrative short story in the beginning then the music video after. The major challenges for Michael and I would be being both the actors and the cinematographers. We have both been actors and filmed before for a project and it was hard at times but we learned that extra hands to help filming is a boost in making our film better. This fun loving music video will be very fun to be a part of with Michael and I am excited for our results.
