How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?      My music video uses a multitude of pop song conventions to its advantage. It uses costumes that are consistent and representative of the character's story. The costumes in pop songs aid the telling of the story that the music video tells. This brings me to the second convention it uses, which is that it has a consistent storyline that goes with the song's meaning. Another prominent theme in pop songs is that most of them revolve around themes of love and heartbreak. My music video uses this convention to relay the tale of a heartbroken girl who finds her passion and comfort in her job. However, my video challenges certain conventions at the same time. In most pop songs, the video features the artist performing or lip-syncing the song so that the viewers remember the artist a

      After I returned from my trip and the final scenes were filmed, we met up at a nearby Starbucks to c ollectively edit our project. I opened Capcut and we all took turns editing things into the video and showing it to each other to make sure we all agreed on how it turned out.      When they showed me what they filmed while I was out of town, in all honesty, I was a bit disappointed. It wasn't very similar to the plan I had laid out for them that we all had discussed and practiced in class. So when I was editing my parts, I had to change a few things from the way it was originally supposed to be, which affected the quality of the finished product.     Because of my previous work of cutting it up into the lengths we needed in a separate Capcut project, I decided to create an entirely new project to start from a clean space. This meant that I had to go back into YouTube, search for the lyric video for our song, and screen record it to get the audio. I then had to go back into th

      The due date of our music video was growing near, and we still had yet to finish filming. The last scenes needed to get done were the ones that we needed their dad to be on duty for. Filming needed to be urgently completed, but there was a major problem. I was going to be out of town on the only day that their dad was working before the due date. I tried my hardest to get out of leaving town, but even if I had stayed, my parents would not be here so I would be by myself the entire time, meaning no transportation.     I really wanted to be there to film because I had so many ideas of how it should be filmed and shot that I could only be made reality by being there in person and filming it myself. During the time of figuring all this out, I was in class with Riley, so we devised a plan. I suggested that they go film even though I would not be there, and I would contribute by planning out each scene in writing and sending it to Riley to film without me. This would work because I mys
