Music Video Finale

This project is the last project that we are every going to do as 8th graders! There are two people other than me on my Music Video team. There is Julie, and Wailana. The song that we are doing is So Sick by NeYo. We chose this song because we wanted to do a song that no other class in G.T has done. So we are the first students in all of the years in G.T that are doing this song. We also Chose this song because even though this song is pretty old it is making a comeback. We hear it all over the radios. People on the internet are making covers to this song, people are also taking the music from this song and making their own lyrics. So we thought why not! Since nobody else has ever done this song lets be the first.

This song is about how my mom disagrees with my unhealthy eating habits. So she takes my junk food away and gives me healthy food to eat. But while everybody is eating their chips, ice cream, cookies, etc.  am stuck over here forced to have a healthier eating habit, Which is driving me absolutely crazy. I come across all these obstacles where the junk food is just laying out into the open but I tell myself that I am strong enough to resist. This storyline does actually relate to the song and it's lyrics, but in a weird way. So instead of being sad about a break up with and actual person, I break up with junk food. Our first plan was to have a real break up with a person. But that started to get depressing and we wanted to leave middle school with a project that is humorous and that everybody can kind of relate to. So we thought that it would be funny and #relatable to make our sad love story breakup about food! I think that this is a pretty creative idea because no other class in the whole existence of GT has ever done this song. We also thought it was more appropriate than having our storyline about a relationship. because we are just in middle school.


NeYo So Sick

Gotta change my answering machine, now that I'm alone
'Cause right now it says that "We can't come to the phone"
And I know it makes no sense, 'cause you walked out the door
But it's the only way I hear your voice anymore

It's been months and for some reason I just
(Can't get over us)
And I'm stronger than this

No more walking round with my head down
I'm so over being blue, crying over you

And I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?

Gotta fix that calendar I have that's marked July 15th
Because since there's no more you, there's no more anniversary
I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you and your memory
And now every song reminds me of what used to be

That's the reason I'm

So sick of love songs, so tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow

So why can't I turn off the radio?
Leave me alone

This Music Video shows and meets all the requirements. But in all honesty it could have been better. I think that if we actually put way more effort into our music video that it would be 10 times better than it is now. But besides that it wasn't all that bad. There was a lot of great sequencing in our timeline that I am very proud of. We also had a lot of great fast cuts, from wide, medium, close, back to medium and then to extreme close. Anyways, I could go on and on but I think that you get the point of how the fast cuts looked in our video. Even though we didn't have a lot of different effects on it, I  don't think that it would have done anything to affect it. Also I don't think that a lot of different crazy effects would be appropriate for our music video song.
