Introduction to the Music Video Project

 For the music video I am working such with a fellow friend named Fatima Faya. I chose to work with her because we have been friends for a while, and I have actually been looking to having this class with her so we can do projects together. She is a hard worker and I know that we can get this project done in a nice effective and productive manner. We do seem to contrast in the music category, I am a huge fan of Rap, and she enjoys alternative. She also lives 5 minutes away from me so I know that meeting up with her wont be an issue. For the music video we are choosing to do Black or White by Michael Jackson. We chose this song, because we have diffrent contrast in music taste, but we equally love old music. This was the best way for us to compromise on on choice. We also chose this song because of its significant meaning. Michael's song is about racism and that it doesn't matter  where you're from or what you're skin color is, because were all equal. Its crazy that this song was made in 1991, almost 2 years ago, and were still going through these same issues. I think in this time more specifically, my partner and I want to bring awareness to what's going on. There has been a recent civil rights movement, to protest the mistreatment of black people in current times. It is important to my partner and I to show how much we care about equality. My friend and I have an interracial relationship, so of course understand how equal we are to each other.  I think the purpose of this video is to kind of cut out the narrative of looking at someone for their skin color.  I believe that we should live in a world where we don't have to look at a person twice because their are a diffrent skin color. I hope that when Cambridge see our music video that they like out idea and concept. I hope they understand that were trying to raise awareness, even if they are the only people to see it. This is what I'm doing for my music video.
