 For the music video I will be working with my dear friends Jayden, Daniel, and Mario. We all chose to work together because there are four members of the Beatles and with four of us, the music video would be much simpler to make. Daniel will mainly help with planning and editing. Jayden will also be a big part in planning and do the drawing for the storyboard. Mario will help set up for filming and pitch ideas. Lastly, I will help with the camera angles and different shots for filing as well as help planning. We will be making a music video on the song yesterday by the Beatles.  The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960, comprising John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. They are regarded as the most influential band of all time and were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and the recognition of popular music as an art form. Yesterday  is a song by the English  rock  band  the Beatles , written primarily by  Paul McCartney

At this time they still used silver coins and wheat pennies so I can use some of mine as props for the video. Just so I can make it that much more accurate and real to make the story come alive. Costumes: Costumes will be dark, probably black jackets and shades. The reason being it is a sad song, and the clothing has to reflect the feelings of the character(s) in the music video. The Beatles themselves also wore black. Perhaps to protect their identity from crazy fans, we’ll need to protect our own identity due to the nature of this music video anyway. Schedule: The time for the meet will be an early evening on the weekday. Ideal conditions are cloudy with no rain. Rain could affect the filming process negatively. And since the music video is supposed to be a little depressi

Hello everyone! Today I will be referencing three music videos by The Beatles and analyzing them. The first song is A Hard Day's Night. In the music video there are several camera angles. The angles include Wide shots showing the entire band performing. As well as medium shots showing the members upper bodies. The music video also contains close ups, emphasizing the members expressions. For movement, it include shots that zoom in and out. A common shot used in the music video is reaction shots, capturing audience reactions to the performance. The video takes place on a stage in London while performing. The video was performed outside so the lighting was natural. As normally, The Beatles were wearing their classing stylish suits. There is only type of editing which are just cutaways. Since the music is being produced by guitars the sound is diegetic. There is obviously voice over as you can hear their voices while the shots change. And there is the ambient sound of the audience chee
