Music Video Project: Research Blog Post #2 - Challenging Conventions

How my Music Video challenges (mostly) this Convention

Camera:

The camera will not stay the same throughout the music video, which challenges The Lazy Song's convention since the camera stayed in one place the entire music video; it will have some movement, multiple camera angles, and different shots.

Sound: 

The sounds will stay the same, which follows The Lazy Song's Convention since the sound is just the lyrics and the music's beat.

Editing:

The editing in my music video will mostly consist of cuts to different scenes, which challenges The Lazy Song's convention of being a one-take with no cuts.

Mise-en-scene:

The setting will be my bedroom and my living room/couch. The props will consist of some pillows, my old iPhone 7, and a TV remote. Clothes/costume will also be pretty basic, with a shirt and shorts. The lighting will be from my bedroom/living room lights. The actor will be me. Most of these are pretty basic examples of mise-en-scene, which follow The Lazy Song's conventions since it also took a more basic route when it came to the mise-en-scene aspects, like a bedroom or little to no props. The major difference is I am the only actor, which challenges the convention of the song since it had a total of 7 actors.

CCR #1:  How does your product use or challenge conventions, and how does it represent social groups or issues? CCR #1:  Hello, my name is Ryan Jurdi, and this is my answer to CCR #1  and to be creative with this CCR I will be  acting like a newscaster.   First,   let's  start off with  how my project used conventions.  O ne of the  ways I used the conventions of the original  s ong music video is through the setting of where the music video takes place.  In that music video it took place in a bedroom and  similarly  my music video also had parts of it take place in  my  bedroom even though two scenes did take place i n my living room .  Another convention I used was the sound s in my music video since it just  contained  the lyrics and the  music’s  beat which is what the original music video did too.  Now, what conventions did I challenge?
