Important Information For Gospel Music Video !

I will be doing a gospel music video, from the little that I've seen, gospel music videos are usually very basic, and straight to the point, rather than telling a story they usually just show the person singing a son.g. However, there were some key details that I picked out that really adds to make a video a "gospel music video" that.


There are not a lot of gospel videos, but here are some information from the few that I found 

- Most gospel music videos really don't tell a story, they are just a visual representation of the artist singing the song. There is never really an emotional connection, or anything.

- The costumes in the music videos are usually, nice dress up clothing. For men, they are usually in suits  or just regular button ups, and for females, they are typically in dresses and skirts, that they'd wear to church 

- For the setting/scenery for gospel music videos, it really depends. Most of the video that I've watched took place either in a church or in a field with a lot of grass and nature. 

- Most gospel songs typically add a motivational message at the end or the beginning of their songs, which add a really connection between the listener and the song itself 

- The shots within any gospel music videos, are usually close ups, or tracking shots. I do feel like these are necessary, because even since they are slight, they still do add to the story and the feel of the song in a way. For example, a clip of the camera following someone walking down the street, compared to a clip of someone just walking down the street, is two different feels. Following them, you can really get in depth and personal, whereas just seeing them walk, is something typical and boring   



Convention and Codes

- After watching some gospel music videos I realized that majority of them really don't tell a story, they are just a video of the person singing the song, and that is really good, but I want to tell a story behind the song, which is why I'll be doing it differently

The Final Apple Watch Commercial

This  commercial was really fun to make and enjoyable. First, with working with my group, it was really interactive and fun to be able to conjoin with people and develop a commercial. I always wanted to record and edit a video for something fun and I was glad I was allowed to do it with my group. Also, learning about the different important details of editing, filming, and etc. was really interesting to me, especially since I am really invested in filming and editing. It was fun to explore new things and be able to understand the small details of everything. By using my vocabulary words for, casual things I would usually say was really interesting and fun to do. All in all, this was a very fun project and I really do enjoy it, and I would love to do it again some day .

The Dream Team

 This project I will be working with a group of friends, that I have acquired over the period of this class. For the first project I worked with 2 people, Alejandro and Pedro. It wasn't the best group, I felt as if I did majority of the work and it made the project not so fun at all, I was aggravated and I did not want to be apart of something that was so one sided. With all of that, it caused me to work by myself for the second project which was more enjoyable in the sense that i didn't have people just benefiting from my work for free, but it was stressful at the same time, because I really didn't have anyone to be my actors. Especially since my family was always, and my friend schedules never really matched up together. This motivated me to meet a group of people that had the same drive for their work as me and the same type of decorum, when it comes to putting in a hand in a project. I truly do believe I found those people. Their names are, Nicole, Jordyn, and Pedro. Th...
