INT. RECORDING STUDIO - DAY

Abby takes off her headsets and sets them down frustrated. She walks to the recording booth door and into were the mixer is. Frank is standing there looking at her.

FRANK

Gees what is it this time Abby. That take was flawless. We are already behind schedule as it is.

Abby

I know Frank it is just I am not sure about this song being a track on this album. We are releasing two albums at the same time. I feel it would be a much better fit for the other album.

Frank

How many times do I need to go over this with you, Abigail. It is a bonus track that we will be hiding on the album as a thank you to your fans.

Abby

But it is a great song Frankie and I think it deserve to be more than a hidden track on the A disk of an album.

Frank lets out a sigh and thinks for a minute.

Frank

Tell you what. Let’s listen to it one more time. If it resonates with me then I won’t strike it from the record. If I am still not convinced afterward then it stays a hidden track.

Abby

Thanks, Frank you won’t regret it.

Frank spins in his chair and then plays the recording so they can both hear it. He pauses for a minute and then lets out a sigh.

Frank

Alright Abby, I guess I agree this is a brilliant song. We will put it as the first song on the second disk. Now can we please get back to recording. It is almost 1 in the afternoon and I want to get one more song in before lunch.

Music video analysis

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq7Eki5EZ8o

So, there is a defiantly a lot of color used in this video. Bright outrageous colors to get across the point that this song is tacky (As the title imply's). The movement is pretty fluent. It is mostly shot from the front but moves along with the person. The first half of the video has a lot of wide open space as it seems to be mostly empty room. It moves to an elevator which makes the space more enclosed then a hallway with is somewhat confined. While it all seems to take place in one building the light changes with each area. It was most likely shot in a studio where they could control some of the light though there does seem to be some natural lighting. The video doesn't have a story. It does follow people as they move though a building explaining how tacky they are but it isn't a story.  

About me

Me with Billy West at Indiana Comic Con 2015

First of all my name is Gordon Snyder. I have many interests and like to think of myself as a well balanced geek. I am what some might consider a cinephilia (just in case you don't know what this is, it is the love of cinema). I don't know what exactly caught my interest but when I got a chance I started taking class based on film making. Between middle school and high school I took a summer course on how to make movies and did a project called Attack of the killer eggs. I starred in it and also got direct a scene. Later at Concord High School, I joined the first class of film making and learned different process including claymation. My last two years of high school I went to the Elkhart Area Career Center for Radio/Television and learned how to run a radio station, make a tv show, run studio cameras, and edit on older editing equipment (the kind where you had to manually use the two dial to track where you wanted to cut the clip). I also like comic books, video games, table top role playing games, live action role playing games, and unlike most people I don't fear clowns (I never understood this specific fear. I feel it is more media induced but I could be wrong). My current list of favorite movies include Scott Pilgrim vs the world and Wreck-it Ralph. I have a long list of TV shows I like. I know at the top of my list currently is The Flash, Gotham, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, and Arrow. I am also a huge pro wrestling fan (yes I know it is fake. Interesting fact most stuff on TV is fake because it is all things made up and done by actors but you still enjoy it). Don't talk to me about football because I don't care. Any media without restrictions, most likely TV shows or movies. My goals are to make it in the film industry but I know I won't just be able to jump to the deep end. I will have to wade in from the shallow end and work my way over. I am interested in making media because I keep hearing there is no new ideas. They keep saying Hollywood has run out of interesting stuff to do. I think with all the new technology becoming available and the right minds there are plenty of unexplored ideas the movie industry has not hit upon yet.
