Finding the Song


My group is doing "Shoota" as our song. Typically in these types of music videos there is one main person singing, usually with some back up singers and dancers. They use many types of different scenery.

    There is always or most of the time dancers in the music video

    They do not have to dress a certain way unless its for the theme of the video

There are many different type of cuts that music videos use, but the most common ones are

    Jump cuts along with upbeat music are used to create an exciting mood and get the audience pumped     up

    Fade to black which is used at the end to symbolize the end of the video

The most common shot in music videos are

    Medium shot to draw attention to both the character and their surroundings by giving them equal            space in frame

Conventions and Codes

    Most music videos when they end show who it was edited by and or the song name, then use a fade        to black to end the video

    Most videos usually have people around the main person, so the main person is always crowded

Use of Rhetorical Devices

    The music videos use logos as they portray real life scenarios that could happen in real life

    The music videos also use pathos since some talk in the video is about tragic things that have                happened or can happen

    Uses ethos since they tend to portray the singer or rappers ideology

 Hi, my name is Keith and I chose this class because I have had many friends take it and I've heard great things about it. They were raving on how fun it is creating films and learning how to do different tricks in their filming. I also need a couple more Cambridge credits to get my diploma, so I thought I would try this out because of this class's great reviews. I expect to learn how to edit my videos to do all sorts of cool things such as cross cutting, shot/reverse shot, jump cuts, and many more interesting techniques. My goals are to be able to learn these techniques and create some really cool pieces of work. I want to keep these skills with me when I'm older because I think it is useful to know how to film. You never know where like can take you and who knows, I could end up becoming a film director. For this project, I chose to work with my buddy Jake. We've known each other since kindergarten. Ever since we met each other, we have just clicked. We would spend th...
