MUSIC VIDEO: BRAINSTORMING FOR IDEAS

We had a lot of meetings in school in order to discuss the ideas for the music video. There are so many creative ways to approach a music video that choosing one felt like a difficult task. We all came up with our own ideas and discussed it together so it becomes more refined. I feel like each member of this group has his/her own uniqueness and that shows in the ideas that they put forward. So when someone comes with an idea, we are all able to add our own touch to it till we're all satisfied with it.

I inherently only enjoy listening to slow (and sad) songs and so my ideas were quite dramatic and would need a slow-paced editing. But we were looking for an upbeat song so the editing can be fast paced and also because our target audience (Teenagers) would enjoy it.

Keeping that in mind the song we settled on is Demons by Imagine Dragons. It's an upbeat rock song. The best thing about choosing this song for our music video is that it gives us room to be very creative. We're thinking along the lines of adding a lot of fast cuts and a lot of slow motion too. Lets see what we come up with now.

MUSIC VIDEO: CREW

For my Advanced Portfolio I'll be working in a group which consists of three other members:
- Zamara Mariam
- Rabea Azim
- Awais Buriro

We all have different personalities so I expect our ideas to be very different from each other too. I think this will work out great for the music video as we'll all bring something unique to it. I'll update about our ideas soon!

INTRODUCTION

Hi there! My name is Shiza Binte Waseem, and I'm doing my A Levels in Media Studies from Beaconhouse School System. The purpose of this blog is to document all the creative processes that will lead up to my Advanced Portfolio.  I'll be updating this blog regularly with the progress of my projects (music video, album cover, website), some of my other works, and my experiences as a media student. I hope this journey is just as informative for you as it is for me. STAY TUNED!
