  Analyzing. 1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?  - The video is similar to a musical since there is a girl singing but I like to think it is more drama in a sense of genre. When I mean by drama I mean acting out emotions and scenes in order to enhance the emotion you see through the screen. Things like editing, transitions, lighting, settings, costumes, props, angles of the camera, and so on made all this raw footage come together. Without it is simply a girl standing looking into a camera. Lighting can change everything in my opinion, without it you are missing out on tons of the emotions. Things with darker lighting or foggy lighting tend to give more negative emotions. The opposite of that would be bright lighting and it would give more of a positive emotion. So when it comes to describe the genre of the video solely I would give it more a drama code and a depressing code since of the emotions...

I finished! Starting this project alone was obvious risk, I knew that. The amount of workload that comes with these projects is immense in a way especially if you are doing it alone.

The lyrics painted an image in my head and when I tried looking for a music video, it didn't have one. It had a lyric video but that was enough to give me a start on how the video would look like.

I did the storyboard, recorded it, took notes on what happened those days, edited, and here it is the outcome. Go watch it! Please and Thank You! Signing Off, Kay.

  I made it! Let me get this straight, the program I am using is Adobe Premiere Pro 2023. It's a amazing software to edit with and overall do countless of things with the software. When I downloaded, to say the least I was naive. Bare in mind that I never have used this software ever. I even thought "I am Adobe Photoshop certified I should be fine" the whole time while downloading Premiere Pro since it is made by the same company. I was wrong! I struggled the past couple of days. I had to look up tutorials on the simplest things. Things like the scale of the video, which I didn't know you had to do until I imported all the footage. I tried to look for loop holes but I couldn't find any viable ones that would work. So while editing the shots together I had to look up a couple of things so this whole thing can come together and actually work. Since I looked up tutorials on YouTube and other platforms I missed the thing that would torment me for 30 minutes. There was...
