  1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it  represent  social groups or issues?  My project  went against conventions. The convention is that the song is done in real time. The songs are usually done  in concert and done in real life.  For our project  we did  video. Then we did a music clip over  the video  to have the music video style.  Another convention that we went against was that the style of black and red color scheme . In the video Marius had a blue scheme with only wearing blue. This color is the exact  opposite  of  the black and red scheme .  Our product does not  represent  any social group or issues. One thing our product does  represent  was the fear of the dentist. Our product was made to show th e fear of the dentist could  almost be  described as going to hell for some people .      2. How does your product engage wi...

  Highway to Hell from R ichard on Vimeo . Well from the start of this project I was thinking of what song we could do. Marius and I were thinking of what genre we could do, then we came up with the rock genre. We then were thinking of what song we could do. Marius and I thought of the song Highway To Hell. We liked the idea of using that song because we could think of ways to show the idea of "Hell." We then went onto the storyboard process, I was the one who was going to do the drawing and come up with the scenes. I was thinking of what ways I could show "Hell" I came up with all sorts of ideas. The one that I stuck with was a kid going to the dentist. The reason I picked this was because people have a fear of the dentist. I knew I could portray the fear of the dentist as it being this persons "Hell." I went on to think of the scenes that would portray this the best. This is what I came up with, A little kid is pulling up to the dentist. The sky is dar...

 For the filming part of the blog I am going to talk about how we thought of coming up with our ideas to film and how we were going to film it. Well when Marius and I thought about our song Highway to Hell we thought of places that people don't like. Now I just don't me like a oh i don't wanna go there today. I mean like a pure fear or going there and a pure hatred for that one place. We were coming up with places that people have a fear of. Most of the places we thought of were either unable to film there or just we didn't have a way of getting there. We then thought of the Dentist. People tend to have a fear of the dentist so I thought that this place would be a perfect representation of "hell." We then listened to the song and planned out how we were going to film the video. Once that was all done we got to filming and finished up in about an hour. For the editing part of the blog I am going to tell you what I did to help out Marius with the editing. Well t...

 Well Marius and I when we finished filming our video we came to the conclusion that he would be doing the editing for the Music Video. The reason for this is because he is better at using editing software than I am which is a big help for me. But if I am to assume what Marius did was this he uploaded all the clips from the filming we did. Then he put the clips in order from beginning to end. Then he played through them to make sure there is no error in the play through. While he would go through and see if there are any errors in the play through he would most likely shorten the video if need be in places that can be easily removed and won't mess up the flow of the video. Once Marius get done with that part he would most likely go into the transitions to make sure he would be able make them as smooth as possible. He would then work on the intro of the music video so it goes along with the pace of the music. Then Marius would go find the song that we are going to use. Marius would ...
