Music Video Research

Today we were introduced to our Music Video project. We have to decide as a group on what song and how we want to do our video. For example , if we want to lip sing it or etc. I’m really big on music so I’m really excited about doing an actual music video. Music has had a big influence on my life and the way I see it. I feel as if this will be the most fun thing I’ll do in high school.

When choosing the song it was a difficult choice. Two of our teammates were not here and were not answering the phone. I preferred songs from the rap genre and Michael preferred songs from the pop genre. Michael and I looked through lists of the top songs and had different opinions. We finally found a song we both enjoyed we agreed on "Gods plan" by Drake. We both like Drake and Gods plan is a mixture of pop and rap. It falls under the genre of pop-rap which was perfect. It has a very catchy beat and the lyrics are well written. Michael texted the other group members and they finally answered and agreed with our choice. Gods Plan is the perfect song for our group.


We started doing more research on the genre and learned a lot. The costumes that are usually seen in the pop-rap genre are comfortable stylish outfits with jewelry. The lighting usually seen in this genre is bright and uplifting. The acting in this genre is cool, not too much like pop but not too much like rap in the middle. The makeup in the genre is nothing insane, it looks natural. The props in this genre varies on what song but cars are usually used as a prop. The setting that is commonly used by the pop-rap genre is usually around a city area or in a house in a neighborhood not like the suburbs or an abandoned place. The genre has a similar sound it's a good beat with not too much rap but not too much pop. The editing in these videos aren’t t too complex and are pretty basic.
