Research for Music Video

    The commercial was a success and took longer than expected. The filming process was simple and was without error because most of our scenes were hand held. The editing process gave the most difficulty because of technical problems. This time around, editing will be much easier because we have learned from our mistakes. This project will be a music video and will be filmed outside of school so we will have a greater chance of successfully completing it. We will be picking a song for the video and that will be easy because we listen to music every day all day. So we know what music videos look like and what we like about them so it will be easier to do this project.
      The song we have chosen is called Girl, By: Destiny's Child. We picked this song because we want to bring awareness to the ongoing issue of Domestic Violence.

Genre: The genre of our song is Rhythm and Blues. We chose this genre to get into the melody and talk about a deep and important matter.
