ABSTRACT

Music Videos: More than Cars and Girls


For my senior project I propose to create a music video that will focus on the element of collaboration. Since I have been studying the Music Industry here at ASU, with an emphasis in Recording and Production, it has become quite clear to me how important collaborations will be in my future.

Music is so special because it has the universal ability to bring people together. Considering the fact that I am a producer and an aspiring audio engineer, collaborations are something that will occur on a daily basis in the future. Collaborations open the doors to creativity outside of oneself and at the same time allows for critique’s that you yourself may not see. For example, a producer can offer creative options or song structure that the band/artist might not have originally foreseen, which in the long run could ultimately make the track.

What I wish to accomplish for my senior project is to highlight the importance of collaboration by shooting a full-length music video for a track that I produce and will feature collaborations with two emcees. The collaboration will exist not only with the music but with the video as well. The value of collaborations in the Music Industry cannot be overlooked and the majority of music/video that we encounter today could not exist had it not been for multiple collaborations.
