Lyrical Livelihood

This next project that we are going to work on is pretty amazing! We are doing a music video. I think I am going to have a lot of fun with this project. We are working in groups of either four, three, two, and one. I am working in a group of three with Nahele, and Jasmine. It's kinda like a reunion if you think about it. We were a group for the movie trailer project but we had Makena on our team. We sorta reunited because we worked very efficiently together on the movie trailer project.
This song makes me feel energetic. The song we are doing is called Stiches by Shawn Mendes. If you look at the lyrics without any of the music you would think that it is a very deep, sad, or like a very dark song. But Shawn Mendes is smart. The kind of music he actually plays with the song makes it seem like a much happier song. I think that the music choice was amazing because he got to tell his sad, dark story even though the music had an up-beat rhythm to it. This song makes me feel energetic because of the music. Also the lyrics made me feel energetic even though it was a sad song because when ever I hear the song it makes me want to get up and dance to it.

 For our teams music video we chose the song Stiches by Shawn Mendes. We all chose this song because we all love to listen to this song because it makes us feel like getting up and dancing. I am new to this song but when Nahele my teammate introduced me to the song I fell in love with it. We all are fans of Shawn Mendes and we love how he tells his story through his music, and instead of telling a sad story and making it a depressing song. He makes it seem more up-beat and happy in some un-usual way.



 The story that this music video will tell is related to heart break. His real music video story thingy is about moving on. The story that we are going for is how happy and sad heart break is. It is about the freedom you have when you become single but how empty it feels. We are trying to tell and explain how to move up & beyond with life after break-ups. Yes we do know that it is pretty depressing but thats how break-ups feel. In our film we are going to shake things up and tell the story of middle school break-ups. Like we all know as we get into middle school we start "going out." Since some of us never experienced this we will not handle this very well. But the concept of "dating" is basically to teach a lesson of moving on. Well thats what I think its about. Even though I never experienced dating I have seen a lot of movies and videos of couples and breakups it looks pretty hurtful.
