Music Video Finale

P3T2 Sit Still Look Pretty from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.

Hey guys welcome back! The project me and my team are working on now is a music video and the song we picked is Sit Still Look Pretty by Daya. Our story line is about a boy who just broke up with a girl and well Mele and Julie try to cheer me up because he broke up with me. In the end of it I push him away from me and forget about him and just go on with my life. The storyline relates to our lyrics because the song is about how girls don't need a boy to make them happy, they just need to be themselves. In the middle of the story I start to get happier and forget about boys because I know I don't need one. This relates to the lyrics because Daya the singer said in her song this queen don't need a king thats what the scene in our music video is about.

Well first of all before I tell you my favorite fast-edit montage sequence let me tell you what it is, It is a sequence of short clips that are creatively edited and usually set to music adding emotion or feeling. My favorite fast-edit montage sequence is when me and Julie are at the park and we show emotion in our lip-sync of the song. It showed that Julie and I are happy without boys in our lives because well we don't need boys in our lives. The fast-edit montage sequence makes me feel alive and just living my life as free as can be. This is my favorite fast-edit montage sequence because I just like feeling I get from watching it, this gives me the thrills of living my life. Another fast-edit montage sequence I like is when i'm trapped like captivity and then I break free from all my worries. This will make the audience feel like their stuck in something that they want to just break free of because we all know people always want to break free from something. This fast-edit montage sequence mostly contains medium shots or close up shots, their is no wide shots because I think when you do a wide shot you can't really see the emotion thats happening in that sequence of events.

This music video showcases my best work by the cover which I got taught how to use the quick-selection tool and adjustment layers in photoshop. It also showcases my best work because of the fun it looks like when I lip-sync to the song. This shows how I can edit fast which is a fast-edit montage sequence that we use to make the audience more attracted in what we are showing them. Expressing my feelings is what I also learned in this class because in this class you have to be able to show your spirit when we make video projects. This is because when we make video projects the audience is more eye attached when you show emotion in the video that you are making. Lastly this music video project showcases my best work because I take the time to edit this because in my last projects I was always rushing but in this project I know I won't rush because showcasing my producticiity level and quality is something I learned here in Mr.Sanderls G.T class.


The 2 minutes we took from the song are:

Could dress up
To get love
But guess what?
I'm never gonna be that girl
Who's living in a Barbie world
Could wake up
In make up,
And play dumb
Pretending that I need a boy
Who's gonna treat me like a toy
I know the other girlies wanna wear expensive things
Like diamond rings
But I don't wanna be the puppet that you're playing on a string
This queen don't need a king
Oh, I don't know what you've been told
But this gal right here's gonna rule the world
Yeah, that is where I'm gonna be because I wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty
You get off on your 9 to 5
Dream of picket fences and trophy wives
But no, I'm never gonna be 'cause I don't wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still look pretty
Mr. Right could be nice for one night
But then he wanna take control
And I would rather fly solo
That Snow White
She did right
In her life
Had 7 men to do the chores
Cause that's not what a lady's for
The only thing a boy's gonna give a girl for free's captivity
And I might love me some vanilla but I'm not that sugar sweet
Call me HBIC
Oh, I don't know what you've been told
But this gal right here's gonna rule the world
Yeah, that is where I'm gonna be, because I wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty
You get off on your 9 to 5
Dream of picket fences and trophy wives
But no, I'm never gonna be, 'cause I don't wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still look pretty
Sure I'm a pretty girl up in a pretty world
But they say pretty hurts
And I don't wanna sit still
