Music Video Finale

Welcome Back! On to the next project, Music Videos. For our new project I have three teammates and the team leader is Alaka'i then my other teammates names are Mele and Makaio. The song that we picked is called When I Was Your Man by Bruno Mars we all agreed to it. We choose this song because we like Bruno Mars songs, he is a very passionate singer and soulful. I like this song personally because Bruno Mars is usually kid friendly so my family and my dad used to always listen to his songs and I felt like if we did this song it would be more relatable for all of us. This reason is because we want to kind of make this song more comedic and funny instead of the normal way he sings the song. We want to be unique and different from any other music video out there. Keep reading for more information about this amazing project.

Our story basically is me, Ala and Mele were companions with the chicken all before Makaio took her from all of us so basically we are the chickens exes. Yes the chicken is our main character because we wanted to make our music video more comedic then all of the other ones that were made before. So first me, Ala and Mele are going to be holding the chicken and then all of a sudden the chicken runs to Makaio and leaves all of us. Then Makaio has his moment with the chicken and after Mele tries to go up to the chicken to take her back but Makaio protects and guards the chicken from Mele. Then I try to take the chicken back but the chicken again chooses Makaio instead of me. Our storyline relates to the lyrics because in the song it says "That I should've bought you flowers and held your hand" and Makaio is finally that man who gave the chicken flowers not me, Ala or Mele. Another example would be "my pride, my ego, my needs and my selfish ways" this would match with the storyline we have which is Mele walking away sobbing because now she feels like she shouldn't have hurt the chicken in the first place.

The music video that we are making and editing now showcases our best works for lots of reasons. One of the reasons the music video showcases our best work is using the shot types or compositions techniques correctly to lead the audience into watching our music video. Another example would be sequences and making sure that we have no jump cuts or long shots. Most of all especially for music videos, It would be helpful and more interesting if the clips were cut to the beat so that it can increase the fast changing shots and it can also make the audience more interested as I said before. In the music video we try to look for lots of setting but since the setting is based around a chicken coop we just walked around or for the lipsyncs we went to rivers and streams to make it more interesting. In my opinion I think that this is the best Music Video I have made with the team throughout my three years in this class and I am very proud of our work.

When I Was Your Man
By: Bruno Mars

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name

It all just sounds like oooooh…
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should've bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should've gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man

My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, ohh…
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes

It all just sounds like oooooh…
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should've bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should've gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man

Although it hurts
I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know

I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
When he has the chance
