Pitch 1: Believer by Imagine Dragons 


I would be interested in filming this pitch. This song goes with the theme we had in mind for this music video. We also thought as a group that the scenes could have a cool impact with each loud clap of the song. Acting out this song would not be difficult either or could be relatively like the other song in terms of scenes. Believer has an upbeat tempo that aligns with the theme of our music video. 


Pitch 2: Till I collapse by Eminem 

I would also be interested in using this music for the pitch. This song would work well for an idea based on motivation or working out, due to the lyrics in the song. The only problem with this pitch is that we would have to use a clean version since the original has profanity in it. I also feel that it wouldn’t be that difficult to act out a scene while using the song, and it would incorporate well with the music video. This song would also allow for longer scenes, and most likely less editing work, giving us more time to film. The upbeat tempo of this song aligns well with what we have in mind.  


Our conversation:  

Me and my group thought that both songs were viable for the type of music video we wanted to do. It was very hard to choose what song we wanted to use in the end, as all of them interested us and we thought none of them to be significantly better than the other. We also had to think about the different moods the song created, and which we believed would work with the scenes better. Overall, our group concluded that both were very similar in terms of the style of how we wanted to film, and this made it even more difficult for us to come to a conclusion. This changed when one of our group members pointed out the lyrics of Till I collapse match better with the theme of our music video. Someone also pointed out the lyrics for Believer were rather repetitive. 


 
Our decision:  

We have decided to go with “Till I Collapse” by Eminem, because we felt that the beat of the song will go best with the kind of music video that we want to film. Till I Collapse has a slightly faster tempo, matching better with our planned jump cuts. This song will give us greater flexibility for the kinds of shots we can use.

Editing Blog: Music and fixing

Image
For the editing, I helped out a lot in the music portion. First, me and my group mates met on a call, and we began to discuss what we should add, or fix for the commercial. As I said, my portion was pretty much the music and fixing any bugs or glitches in the film. I had to make sure that the music would fit the overall theme and tone of the commercial. This ended up being a more intense and dramatic music to fit the commercial. I then had to make sure the music fit the overall pacing and different shots of the commercial. This way a really intense part of the music wouldn't play for just me doing something simple like setting up the ball. Other than this, I made sure that the music would cut off at certain moments where we needed the audio to be emphasized.  I also made sure that it fit within the time frame of the commercial and wouldn’t go over the time we needed. I sent my group mates around 3 different choices of music for the commercial. One of them being lighter and more upb...

Our Storyboard

Image
  Scene 1:   The camera is looking down at the ground. The ground is bare, and there’s little movement.  Scene 2:   The camera shifts to show someone setting a soccer ball with their foot. The ball is placed carefully as the camera lingers on it for a moment.  Scene 3:   A close-up of player 1, who is visibly sweaty, emphasizes their exhaustion. Audio of player 1 breathing heavily plays in the background.  Scene 4:   The audio bridges into the next shot. The next shot is from player 1’s point of view, looking at the goalkeeper (player 2). This shot is at a Dutch angle, adding tension and unease. The camera's movement is unstable, mimicking player 1’s disoriented state. There are blurring effects to further emphasize that player 1 is dehydrated.  Scene 5:   An eye-level shot is taken from player 1’s side. A whistle blows, signaling a timeout. Player 1 is thrown a bottle of Gatorade from behind the camera. They cat...
