DESCRIPTION: I had always wanted to make a music video for a film, but I could not do so because I did not know many musicians at the time. After receiving a class assignment with my group to take a song from a famous artist and create my spin on the piece, I knew I finally had my chance. At the time, Dove Cameron had just come out with a new song titled “Boyfriend,” and I instantly fell in love. I decided to create an LGBTQ+-centered music video that revolved around a daydream of someone who wishes to be with a girl dating a boy. I wanted the film to take place in three places, the street, the club, and the main character’s room. Lighting was crucial for this piece, and I used the Bisexual lighting scheme to identify the work subtly. The music video was one of my favorites created at the university and made me fall in love with the idea of creating music pieces that I hope to expand on in future endeavors.

DESCRIPTION: As a final group project for my class, my friend and I decided to create a fun music video based on the song, “Don’t Threaten Me With A Good Time” by Panic At The Disco. The idea for the piece was to keep the camera stationary and only do transitions via lens or movements with pans and tilts. The video was meant to make fun of the traditional early 2000 music videos and how they use satire and props to create a spectacle for the viewers. We decided to use a completely black background to create a seamless and theatrical look for the piece and focused on making the costuming and props pop out vividly in the image. The actor was a theatre actor, so it was easy for him to portray the part and make the piece work well with the idea. This piece was a fun way to wrap up the semester and let off steam while still creating a film we were proud of.
