  1. My  music video challenges the conve n tion of a seemingly innocent, kid friendly video turned adult and bloody. The music itself is very cheery with deadly lyrics, which is made to reflect the actions taking place in the video. The normality of Radio Star and Video waking and starting their day the same way is part of the deception of what is to come. As the video continues on , the shot of Video putting on the glove is made to be a foreshadowing of sorts. When the scene of Video killing Radio Star occurs, we can see that this “PG” music video has turned “R”. This is made to represent Hollywood censorship and their tendency to put a pretty picture in front of an ugly scene , j ust like  the cheer ful music is made to cover the bloody actions. Secret societies, NDA parties , and mafia deals is what Hollywood tries to mask with tv shows and films made to distract us. Censorship over “not happy and distracting” media, like ours, is what people and especially mothers shielding

Hi, its me again. Hope you enjoy our music video. This one was such a hassle to film and edit, but I really like the end result. Enjoy :)

Costumes were a major part of every characters look. We will start with Jack 's costume, since the backup singer is from Radio Star’s time period, the 1950’s. The backup singer had to match with the way Radio dresses. Men’s clothing from this time me period is pretty simple to emulate in modern clothing . Jack wore a suit that he had for Model UN . The suit was black and he wore a white button down with a blue tie. As for his acting Jack did a very good job at following the instructions we gave him to follow . He was very patient as Elena and Mary tried to figure out how to get the shot that we wanted. However while we were filming the sound booth scene the way he lip sang… He wasn’t actually lip singing he was really singing. This caught Mary off guard which on the first take caused Mary to fall over laughing . This was not the most productive thing but it had to be done. As for Mary’s acting she did fairly well , other than fact that she can’t really control her laughter whilst

After Mary sent the videos   to Elena, she uploaded them to Capcut . Elena then realized that she didn’t have all the shots and asked Mary to send the remaining few. After all of them were uploaded, Elena put the videos in order using the storyboard. She the n cropped out the beginning and ending of certain videos to get rid of unnecessary content. In order to remain in the time frame, Elena spe d up some shots in the beginning to use up less time. However, this speeding up also gave the videos a happy, cheery feel which matches our challenging convections. After all the scenes were laid out, it was up to Mary to upload the song and edit it so the ending piece would fit with our editing. This would consist of editing the middle, unused parts out  and  fining out a way to line up the verse and ending perfectly. Mary did this my downloading the song Video Killed The Radio Star by The Buggles from apple music to her laptop. She then inserted the download into an app called (app name).
