Music Video CCR

How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? In   In my music video, there were varied conventions used. One would be editing. Some different editing techniques I used are slow-motion, zoom, and transitions. For the transitions we used a fade transition. This helped make the video flow nicely and keep it clean. For the slow-motion scenes, I put it on scenes I wanted emphasis on. I wanted emphasis on these scenes because they were major scenes in the video. The main zoom scene I used was the scene of us in the car. The video shows how basketball is a multiracial sport. It also shows You can be successful in the rap game while being white, even though it is rare. jf    How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text?         It engages with audiences in many ways. Although I could see mainly basketball lovers enjoying this video, I feel eve...

 For my music video I used the song White Iverson. This song is by Post Malone. Post Malone is one of my favorite artists right now. This is a reason I chose this song. The song is talking about how Post Malone is the white Allen Iverson. Allen Iverson is one of the greatest basketball players of all time. He is also one of my all time favorites. He was know for his cornrows, charisma and swagger on and off of the court. He was a very good defender, has arguably the best dribbling of all time and was a crafty scorer. He could also pass very well. This is why most of my video takes place on a basketball court. My friend and I were the actors in the video. Another one of my friends recorded the shots of the two of us and the scenes of me. The other scenes were filmed by me. The filming and editing process was really easy. There are a few scenes I added a slow motion effect. This is because in the original White Iverson video there was a lot of slow motion used. It also helped add to ...

 The editing process was fairly easy for my music video. My music video is for White Iverson by Post Malone. Post Malone is one of my favorite artists right now. This is also one of my favorite songs by Post Malone. It took about 30 to edit. It then took about 30 minutes for the video to render completely. I used my friends laptop because he has a MacBook which has IMovie making it easier to edit. It is easier because I have used the software in the past. I used the first minute of the song. I used transitions between each scene. I also used a lot of slow-motion scenes to add to the video. This is because in the original White Iverson, he uses a lot of slow-motion scenes. I also did a lot of the scenes on a basketball court. This is because the song is about Allen Iverson. Allen Iverson was a professional basketball player who is most known for his time with the Philadelphia 76'rs but had stints with the Denver Nuggets, Detroit Pistons and the Memphis Grizzlies. He attended Georget...

I filmed for my music video on the Friday before Thanksgiving break and the Monday of Thanksgiving break. I ended up not using some scenes from my storyboard. I thought of some better ideas while recording. I did not include any of the Jeep scenes except the one of us listening to the song inside of the Jeep. This is because I felt the video should be more basketball based because of the part of the song we were using and the lyrics of that part. I also made this a little bit longer than I had originally anticipated. However, I feel the video flowed really well. I included a few more basketball clips. I did this because I wanted to stick to the roots of what the song is about which is Post Malone being the white Allen Iverson which is where the name "White Iverson." I also took out the scenes of walking on and off the court. I also took out the other Jeep scenes. I filmed at George English Park as well as my rooftop of my house. There is also two scenes where my friend and I ...

  My music video is going to be White Iverson by Post Malone. The first scene will be my friend and I showing up in the Jeep. This will be a slow motion scene. The following scene will be us stepping out of the Jeep. The next scene will be us walking onto the court. I will be dribbling a basketball while I am walking. The following scene will be me taking a reverse layup. Allen Iverson was very good at this move which is who the song is about. The next scene will be my friend and I lip-syncing to the song. The following scene will show me shooting some shots. The next scene will be of my friend and I in the Jeep listening to the song and jamming out. The following scene will show my friend taking some shots on the court. In the next scene I will do a crossover into a shot. This was Allen Iverson's signature move so it will pay homage to him in a way. The following scene will be my friend and I lip-syncing again. We will then start walking off the court. Finally we will drive off in...

 For my music video I am using White Iverson by Post Malone. I am doing this because it is one of my favorite songs and Allen Iverson (who the song is about), is one of my favorite NBA players of all time. This is because of the swagger he had on and off the court. For my music video I will be at the park. I will be shooting some basketballs with my friend. This is because in the video he was shooting a couple of basketballs. I will also be playing basketball because the song is about a basketball player. I will also be in my friends Jeep. Schedule: 11/20- Create the storyboard for my music video. This will be 12 boxes. 11/21- I will record the necessary shots for my music video.

 For my music video I am doing White Iverson by Post Malone. White Iverson is one of my favorite songs. In the video he has a white Rolls Royce. He is also in the desert. He shoots a couple shots on the basketball hoop he brought with him. In the video he used a lot of slow motion. There was also a lot of panning shots. This song falls under the hip-hop genre. Usually in hip-hop music videos, the artist has many people around him trying to get the listener hype because most hip-hop music gets people hype. However, it White Iverson, he is only with one other person. Post Malone has a basketball in his hand along with a basketball hoop in the background of his video because the song is talking about the former NBA MVP and Hall of Famer, Allen Iverson. Post Malone also had his hair in braids to resemble Allen Iverson's cornrows he was well known for. The Rolls Royce also fit the characteristics of a hip-hop music video because most of the music videos in this genre have nice, luxuriou...
