Creative Critical Reflection 1.       How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?  Before I begin for the remainder of this question I will be referring to my project as my product just to go along with the original theme of the question. OK now that we got that out of the way its time to answer the actual question. The question  basically is trying to get me to state how it follows and/or challenges conventions and how it represents social societal groups or issues. While my my product does use conventions in some way shape or form, it doesn't exactly challenges it. It more so goes along with the narrative of conventions and uses it as somewhat of a strength in the product. If I basically had to simplify what I said, its basically like going by the same rules of the same playbook. One of the big conventions of a rap music video is the artist imitating as though they are speaking to the audience...

Well here is My music video. I'm pretty pleased with the results although I will say I messed up big time. Fist though i'll speak on the good. All and all this project was a pretty good experiences. I got to produce a video that's with in my favorite genre of music.This said genre is obviously rap you can tell by the music playing due to the hard hitting drums and the rhyme scheme of the lyrics. I got to be creative with this assignment. I basically just let my imagination roam. And for the most part it worked pretty well if I do say so myself. I loved this whole experience. If I had the chance to do something like this again I would gladly do it. I would say hat this experience was really fun. Now that we finished with the good onto the bad. I did make some mistakes some minor others major. I am pressed for times and it would take long to correct these mistakes without a time extension so I am forced to bring it in and submit it as it is.Well let me speak on the biggest mi...

 SO this is going to be my last blog out of the trilogy. and this is going to be a mesh of a filming and editing blog. Although I said it was a mesh this is mostly going to be mostly an editing blog. That being said shall we begin. To finish off with the rest of the filming port of my blog we did a few things. we in this sentence if you did not know by now means me and my brother because he was my videographer. we took a good bit of outdoorsy video shoots. Many of said video shoots was of myself nearby and/or posted up with the tree. In addition to that i was doing many hand motions and gestures. while this was happening my brother was also doing a multitude of camera movements. although we did many video shoots by trees we also deviated from tree shoots. Those times included a video shoot on a slight hill and on a walk way path. During the path video shoot i told my brother to follow me with the camera for an interesting camera view. I also told him to this from a side angle profi...

This blog is basically a continuation of the previous Blog. I have more material since I did more of the music video. Basically I have enough material now to make a sequel blog to my first one. This blog is going to cover part of the outside version.SO basically it went like this after finished the indoor portion we went by a tree near by my house. We if you didn't know by now is me and my brother due to the fact that I wanted to star in the music video so I took him along to help film the video. I was posted up on the tree. I told my brother to make random jerky motions with the camera to replicate how a normal  music video would  be. Once I started the song on a secondary device I told him to start filming. Once he starting filming I ran through my usual routine. If you want to know what I mean by that I basically did hand gestures and lip synced. I did this for about a minute. I also repeated this in 3 times. In addition to that each time I was in a different position. I di...

 Before I begin this Blog I just want to give a few disclaimers.The first is that it is my third attempt at doing this blog in particular. Due to mishaps and malfunctions I am here for for a third time. Hopefully this is the last time i have to do this blog. secondly this blog is unfinished. As of writing this blog i'm am about 25 percent done. I know I should speed up but I have a lot of plans for this project. every thing should be finalized by this weekend. but now that i got that out the way t its time to speak on the actual  project. The music video production basically started in the living room.i had the featured song played on a second device. I did this so when the process is done it would be easier to sync the clips with the actual song.I  told my brother to position the camera in front of the tb and giving a head on view of  me the actor I played the song and me as the actor I was supposed to keep my head down until the beat dropped. By  the way throu...
