Intro Blog (Music Video)

As someone who doesn't listen to music that often choosing a song to make a music video for was difficult to say the least. Most music I listen too comes from video games, but those wouldn't transfer very well into a story based music video. I sat down with my dad and we discussed what kind of music would work for this that I liked. Unfortunately since I don't actually listen to music we didn't get much out of that discussion. After awhile we started to joke around and suggest songs that were meant to be funny. A funny song would solve a lot of the problems of making a music video since it could be less serious and require less funds. We agreed on making the video after a little jingle called Yon Yonson that was very short and simple. The song is about 3 sentences long and repeats indefinitely. Yon Yonson is a friendly man by nature so he tells his song to everyone who passes by, causing the song to continuously loop. The song is about the daily life of a Swedish immigrant to the Midwest region, and how he introduces himself to others. I figured if done right it could be pretty interesting to make a video of. As I stated before music really isn't my thing so I wont lip sync or dance but instead act out the actions said in the song. Although I know this project is doable to be honest I'm not as confident on this assignment than the previous commercial. The project itself shouldn't be too hard but setting everything up will probably be a little more tedious than the commercial project. Another thing that will be different this time are the props used. To make the video more authentic ill at the least have to buy a hat to fit the character of Yon Yonson. The passerby in the video will also need a costume to make the project more accurate. Just because the song is intended to be a joke doesn't mean that it cant be good, which is what I hope for this video to prove. Some of the actions listed in the song will be harder to perform than others but ill tackle that problem when it arises. Chopping wood as a lumberjack might be a little hard to convey since I don't have lumber or tools but I'm sure I could borrow something. That all being said I look forward to filming and editing the music video, and I hope it turns out as I would like it to.

   Here it is, the Yon Yonson music video. After quite a bit of recording and editing the video is finally here to watch. The video is basically a 20 second song looping with slight differences each time. The first time I play the ukulele in the first scene and lip sync the words of the song. After that I use a clip of a passerby asking for Yon Yonson's name.  The kind stranger who asks for Yon Yonson's name is none other than Barack Obama! Due to the lack of actors available for recording I could not do the street passerby scene. As a replacement for this I used video clips from other media and tried to lip sync them with the song lyrics. Unfortunately the lip syncing wasn't perfect due to time constraints, but It worked well enough. In the next scene I play the accordion in the same basic position as the first scene. If you couldn't tell from me playing the ukulele, you could definitely tell that I don't have musical talent from how I played the accordion. Althoug

Genre Research: Action

  This video is my PowerPoint presentation about action movies. The video above lists lots of things that are used in action films. I've always really liked watching action movies so this was my first choice of genre to write about. Most of my favorite movies are action movies so I like to think that I know a good deal about them. The first slide of this PowerPoint is about how lighting is used in action movies. Lighting is used to create atmosphere, for instance dark lighting is used to create gloomy more serious mood. Bright lighting on the other hand is used for more peaceful scenes. Bright lighting isn't commonly used in action movies since it doesn't fit with the violence taking place. The camera angles of action movies are usually dramatic in order to fit the action that's taking place in the movie. Mid shots are used quite often in order to show all the characters at once. This is done so that the viewer can see all the action that is taking place in the film. Wi

Hey what's up!? My name is Spencer Dalis, I am in Aice Media studies AS level at Fort Lauderdale High School. I'm definitely not the most interesting person on the planet, but ill try my best to explain my hobbies and interests here. I was born in Miami Dade and moved to Broward shortly after. I'm a pretty average student but I enjoy playing video games during my free time. I spend quite a bit of time on my Nintendo consoles playing games like Mario, Kirby, Pokemon, and The Legend Of Zelda. Another one of my hobbies is taking care of my two cats. Unfortunately I don't do much else outside of schoolwork during my day. I also have a small YouTube channel that I create content for where I play some of the games that I enjoy. I spend most of my time with my family and two cats doing normal day to day activities. My favorite food is steak and I really like the chicken soup that my father makes. That's basically the general happenings of my life so far but there's sti
