How do your products represent social groups or issues?
The song I chose focuses on a toxic relationship, expressed by the lyrics "user 603, he beats her down with nasty words." The song also mentions a theme of unrequited love, "user 139 will never know how much I love her." And my favorite part, the song includes a bit of postmodernism, "this is a simulation, this is a simulation..." Throughout the song the singer expresses how she's watching this User 139 via computer. The lyrics I mentioned above are what inspired the storyline in the video. I chose to portray this toxic situationship and their breakup.
How do elements of your production work together to create a sense of "branding"?
How do your products engage with the audience?
How did your research inform your products and the way they use or challenge conventions?

Week Eight - Day One
So little left...
- How do your products represent social groups or issues?
- How do the elements of your production work together to create a sense of ‘branding’?
- How do your products engage with the audience?
- How did your research inform your products and the way they use or challenge conventions?
- the themes I chose were:
- situationships, or a romantic relationship that the on or both parties do not consider a commitment or labeled relationship, but they are more than friends.
- breakups and/or process of getting over a breakup
- social media page, themes in the song, themes showing in the video, themes expressed in the cover art.
- go off of the real artist's fanbase and viewers of the video
- postmodernism research and how it introduced me to complex storylines and POVs
- narrative structure or who's telling the story in which the music video portrays the narrator in the beginning watching the story go on.

Week Six - Day Three
Today was a short editing day. We, my sister and I, edited the last transitions before exporting. We decided to add all the transitions in adobe premiere because the clips were still separated. After we export the project will be just a long clip, making it harder to sport the right timing for a transition.
Nonetheless, the sequence and transitions are done. This week coming up will include the last bit of editing using after effects, album cover art, and more posts to social media.
So much to be done in such little time.

Week Six - Day Two
Editing will forever be my OP...
For those whom appreciate photogenic explanation of the editing process, this is it. Just a lot of contemplating and staring at a screen. |
Week Six - Day One
Editing demons got hands...
red paint flows through my veins and on to my hands
the traces left on the white canvas
words tip over my head and leave their mark on the paper
my own creations, I'm an avid hater.
the words of my soul, i pour them out
for me to never recite aloud
the blood on my hands, cut by the strings
a melody i created that makes my heart sting
and as i try to sing the words i have spilled
my confidence crumbles with embarrassment
for sharing my inventions are far too personal
and i'm far from arrogant.
At last I read over this creation
I am not proud, i could do better
i think this with every occasion
i guess, i'm just a creative beggar.
