Finally, my last blog post of the year! For our last project of the year, we are creating music videos. My team is me and Makaio Gonsalves. The song we decided to make a music video for is Big Green Tractor by Jason Aldean. The real meaning of our song is about a couple going on a date with the guys "Big Green Tractor". Since this was pretty weird, we decided to make the story about two friends who don't know what to do so they go on the one friends tractor. Our story starts off with two guys bored and not knowing what to do. Then one friend gets an idea to go on his tractor. Throughout the story, they ride the tractor all over and have fun doing it. Our storyline matches with our lyrics because It's talking about two people going for a ride on a tractor. Throughout our music video, me and Makaio ride around the woods, pasture and other places which is talked about in our song, this also matches the lyrics of our song.
For our projects, we are supposed to create a music video that shows storyline as well as lyrics. The shots in our project are supposed to be quickly changing, interesting shots. My favorite fast-edit montage sequence in our music video is when the chorus begins. The chorus talks about riding the tractor in the woods and pasture. When the chorus begins the lip-sync quickly changes to a shot of me riding the tractor in the woods then switches to me riding in the pasture. I really liked the way this turned our because it matches the lyrics really well. I think that this sequence makes our music video more interesting and engaging to the audience.
Like last year, our last project is a music video. I feel that a music video can showcase our best work in many ways. The first reason why it can showcase our best work is because we got to choose our teams so we got to choose people that we work well with. The second reason why it showcases our best work is because throughout the year we learned many techniques and then in our last project we can kind of include everything we learned into one piece. And finally, the last reason why it showcases our best work is because it's very free, in this project we basically have a blank canvas where we can think of a storyline to match the lyrics of a song. Overall I think that this project is a really good end of the year project because it lets us create a fun piece of work to end the year with.
Big Green Tractor by Jason Aldean
She had a shiny little beamer with the rag top down
Sitting in the drive but she wouldn't get out
The dogs were all barking and wagging around
I just laughed and said ya’ll get in
She had on a new dress and she curled her hair
She was looking too good not to go somewhere
I said whatcha wanna do baby I don’t care
We can go to the show or we can stay right here and
I can take you for a ride on my big green tractor
We can go slow or make it go faster
Down through the woods out to the pasture
Long as I’m with you it don’t matter
Climb up in my lap and drive if you want to
Girl, you know you got me to hold on to
We can go to town but baby if you’d rather
I’ll take you for a ride on my big green tractor
I said we can fire it up and I can show you around
Sit up on the hill and watch the sun go down
When the fire flies are dancing and the moon comes out
We can turn on the lights and head back to the house or
We can take another ride on my big green tractor
We can go slow or make it go faster
Down through the woods out to the pasture
Long as I’m with you it really don’t matter
Climb up in my lap and drive if you want to
Girl, you know you got me to hold on to
We can go to town but baby if you’d rather
I’ll take you for a ride on my big green tractor
