1. How does your product use or challenge convention and how does it represent social groups or issues?         Bethoven and I product use the convention of how music videos typically tell a story within the music and the video helps express the lyrics in a way that others may understand. Usually having a protagonist facing some kind of hardship. Hardships such as a break-up, a loss of a loved one, or depression. While the protagonist wasn't always like that the antagonist is shown and explains how did the protagonist end up becoming this way. The antagonist could be an event that happened or a person that did something to the protagonist. The music video help deliver the message to all who watch it. Bethoven and I tried our best to use the conventions to help produce our video.           Our product represents social groups and issues because we tried to use a common issue for many different groups of people. We choose to base our ...

 On December 5, 2020, Bethoven and I began editing our video. We first discussed how we were going to edit. Realizing we still both have to write the editing blog, so we had to ensure that we both do enough to write about. Due to Bethoven having all the videos we had to find a way to transfer all the videos to me. He tried to email me all the video clips but was unable to. All of the clips added up to too much storage to be sent through an email, so we had to find another way to share the videos. The next thing we tried was for both of us to be within a drive.

This is because in the scene the swingset was very old and unsturdy, so we kept rocking back and forth. We had to make sure that the actor was safe and secure and the set didn’t collapse on us. We managed to get about 5 seconds on the swing set which was all we needed to fill up the space in the video.  The third scene we had to discuss where were we going to film. We had to insure that the place could be seen by the pedestrian and the bully. Well keeping it partially true to what was drawn on the storyboard, so we decided to do it in the parking lot. I explained the difficulty filming the sixth scene, but there was also complications on the fall. The complications were that we had to think about the future scenes and as I mentioned making sure he wasn’t injured. We had him pushed out of frame so the viewers could no longer see him which helped solved all our prob...
