Editing my music video

Hi readers, this week I wanted to finish up my video but I keep getting ideas that can be included in there. So I decided to talk to my mom about it, she told me to list down these ideas and shortlist what all I can use. and then I can pick accordingly or try them out and see what looks the best and also to not overthink it otherwise ill keep getting new ideas and I will never be able to finish my project. 


I listed these down to short list and decide what all I can use. 

I used different tools from imvic to make my video more personal and creative, I typed out some lyrics of the song, the verse and changed some lyrics as well like, " when "I" went away" instead of "when YOU went away" and wrote out the verse which is
"Every step I take
Every move I makeEvery single day, every time I prayI'll be missing youThinkin' of the dayWhen you went awayWhat a life to take, what a bond to breakI'll be missing you ".
To make the video connect with the song as well, to show how the lyrics connect with my theme and represent my idea and theme well. 
I also used fade in transition in the beginning of the video, where there a picture from a plane window fading in the memories which also says "introducing my personal human diaries." which means that they’re the ones who truly know me inside and out. They’re the people I can trust with my rawest thoughts, deepest secrets, and most vulnerable moments without fear of judgment. Just like a diary, they hold onto my stories—both the joyful highs and the painful lows—but unlike a diary, they offer advice, comfort, laughter, and endless support. With them, I never feel the need to filter who I am. They carry my memories with care, understand the things I don’t always say out loud, and remind me that I’m never alone in whatever I’m feeling.

Researching Album Cover

 Hi readers, this week I've been researching how I want to plan and design my album cover.   When researching album artwork and its relationship to wider promotional strategies, I observed that many successful musicians create highly cohesive visual branding that links the album cover, title, and overarching themes. A prime example is The Weeknd’s  Starboy  (2016), where the saturated red and blue neon palette, his introspective pose, and the symbolic cross necklace work together to encode deeper messages about fame, inner turmoil, and personal transformation. According to Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory, such visual elements serve as signs that audiences decode to understand the emotional and narrative layers of the media text. The stark contrast between the dark imagery and the bright yellow "STARBOY" title effectively communicates the duality of celebrity life — a concept that is both visually and thematically integrated across the album campaign. Drawing inspirat...

Music Video Analysis

  Hi readers!! I decided to analyse 'Formation' by Beyonce, as I think she really did a great job on this music video. "Formation" is a visual manifesto that challenges racial injustice, honours Black culture, and reimagines the political possibilities of pop music. It is more than simply a music video. It's an outstanding illustration of how artists may utilise media to subvert prevailing narratives and inspire significant change.  She faced love because of this video, as she addressed a very sensitive issue. She was even nominated for multiple  Grammy Awards  because it was a groundbreaking piece of art that combined powerful  music, visual storytelling, and cultural commentary .  Beyoncé’s  Formation  (2016), directed by Melina Matsoukas, is a highly polysemic and political music video that uses strong visual codes and signifiers to construct meaning around race, identity, and empowerment. The video deploys Barthes’ theory of semiotics, us...

Critical Reflection

Hi readers, this is my personal reflection on my project.. The project I have created represents the epitome of my identity and is a product of pure imaginative instinct paired with depth in research. Every detail of every outcome is infused with my deep-rooted feelings about friendship, separation, and nostalgia, serving as a heartfelt response to the experience of missing my best friends in my home country after moving away. Built around Puff Daddy’s “I’ll Be Missing You,” the music video allowed me to express emotions that are often difficult to put into words, starting from the symbolic opening of a passport and boarding pass, transitioning into a plane window, and then fading into a montage of memories shared with my friends, ending once more with the aircraft window to show that the entire journey was filled with reflection. The collage album cover and vinyl design, featuring the phrase “Some goodbyes last forever, so do the memories,” act as visual and emotional artefacts of the...
