Miranda Lambert's music video to her song Automatic



        Miranda Lambert’s music video to the song Automatic, has a message to the video, by her singeing about how things us to be before they became automatic. The shots in the music video started out with Miranda going upstairs into an attic, and the shots flipped back and forth with close up views of her playing a guitar on a porch swing. Also, shots of her opening an old trunk and taking out an old caste tape and a old caste tape player and then played the tape, and other things were taken out of the trunk through out the music video. Some other shots in the music video were of wide views of her getting into an old truck and driving through the countryside. When the shots of her looking out the truck window showed shots of what looks like an old video being played of things what were in the past before they be came automatic. Also, worm colors were used in the video, like neutrally colors in the attic scene to give a worm and inviting felling to the viewers, and the sun sine through the windows. Other shot of worm colors were used in the scene of her driving in the truck as well. Besides the visual shots of the music video, the most important part is the works that Miranda sings.

         Miranda didn’t start sing in till 20 secants into the music video where she started out sing about how things used to be, like quarters in a payphone, and watching sun tea in the window. She started out sing soft when she sang about how things were back then, like whatever happened to waiting your turn and doing it all by hand. After her singing softly the music picked up after she sang, how things seam good back before things became automatic. Also, she sang about how people used to wright a letter and put a stamp on it and then they would get it three days later, then she would sing again, “Hey what ever happened to waiting your turn
doing it all by hand, cause when everything is handed to you
it's only worth as much as the time put in
it all just seems so good the way we had it
back before everything became automatic,” this would be the main pitch in her message, in her song Automatic. Which meant by asking the viewers what happened to the time when doing it by hand meant more than just getting things automatic. At the end of the song she sings about lets get back to doing things by hand, by sing, “let's roll the windows down
windows with the cranks
come on let's take a picture
the kind you got to shake,” this also meant by slowing down and enjoying the things we do have.

Brandstorm



The idea I have for a documentary video tacks place at Lawrence Productions in Kalamazoo Michigan, where a senior editor/ motion graphics designer edits raw film for local companies. The video would include shots of the building, inside the building, hales inside, and the edits office where the interview would take place. Also, shots could be taken of the sound mans office, and the shots of the editor working on editing film. I think this could be a cool documentary video to shot because it shows viewers what it could be like if pursuing a career in editing.


An idea I have for a music video is creating a country music video. It would be shot at a farm, an orchard, field, and with some farm equipment. I think it would be nice to use a girl or a guy to represent the singer, and to have extra people to go along with the song. The song could be on the lines of a romantic love story, or a song about being country. It would be cool to have close up shot of someone playing a guitar, or someone pretending to play a guitar. I think this would be a fun music video to shot because of getting the chance to shot in the country and all the different shots that could be used, and different ideas from other people to create a fun lively country music video.

 I have an idea for a narrative video it is called the secret box. It takes place with this old looking box that cant be opened by anyone, and its bounty and wonderment can not help but drawl people to try and see what is inside this masteries box. The start of the video could have shots of the box opened with its first owner, but you can’t see what is in the box, or what the first owner is putting into the box. Other shots can be done in an old house, or newer house, shots from the view of the box, of people talking about the box and trying to open the box. Also, shots of the box being cared around, being set down, where it ended up, and the changes in the  environment that the box had to overcome. At the end of the video have a little boy or girl come up to the box and open the box, and all you see is the boy or girl and light coming out of the box, and then show what is in the box or NOT.
