"Crush Culture" Music Video

Pre-Production

For this assignment, we were asked to either recreate a music video or create a new one from scratch. My group chose "Crush Culture" by Conan Gray to recreate. We didn't really have a specific "theme" that we wanted to apply, just something that was unique and not too mainstream. We really liked the concept of the video, and thought it would be fun to film and edit. Although each of us was assigned a specific title, we were pretty flexible on roles and each contributed to different parts of the process. I was mainly the cinematographer for this project.

Production

The filming process has been extremely difficult on my group, and admittedly, we still aren't done. Scheduling has been very troublesome, because every time that we've prepared to film, the weather has not been permitting. We planned to film in the first week, hoping to film at PRT, but we had scheduling issues with our main actor. After that, every block day that we intended to film on was cancelled due to snow days. This really limited our opportunities to film, and we only had about 45 seconds of actual footage in the current video.

Post-Production

Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with the work that we completed. We still have more to go, but as of now, our project is looking good. If I could go back to the day we were assigned this project, I would schedule everything that day, with our actor, with ourselves, and with our potential locations. On the next project, I'll definitely emphasize on planning and communicating with my group.

As our team began to go through the lists of symbol ideas, we decided that none of them really suited our group. For a while, we were stuck and didn't know exactly what to do. Until out of no where, one of my group members announced the idea of a cheesecake, with absolutely no meaning behind it. Why, you may ask? I still have no idea. But as we started working on the idea, we each incorporated our own "symbols" that meant something to us. It was decided that there would be a normal cheesecake, which would be the focal point of the flag, surrounded by a music note, and for a strange reason, a fidget spinner cutting the slice. Our group (center table) brainstorming symbol ideas . While we thought of ideas, our team luckily got along. During the first day, we sketched the flag and talked about possible color ideas along the way. The process ran smoothly, with no major disagreements and we used our time to erase things that we didn't think we wanted. Overall, t

First Semester of Junior Year Graphic Design Reflection

First Semester of Junior Year Graphic Design Reflection Throughout my first semester in graphic design, I've gotten the opportunity to go more in depth with design processes like patterning, illustration, and branding. From each of these projects, I have taken away at least one of the five guarantees of eComm. The most relevant of them being technology, as we spend most of our days designing on the computers. I've learned a lot of new features in our software this semester, especially the type that relates to patterning. I first used it with our patterns for the subscription box project, turning my designs into swatches and replicating them for the dielines. I'll definitely be able to use this with future projects and endorsement opportunities. The next most effective guarantee for me was communication. I relied a lot on the feedback and constructive criticism from my peers to critique my work. I took their thoughts and combined them with my own self-thoug
