Elementary School Music Video Shortlist
Big Green World
Original Song, "Big Yellow Taxi" by Joni Mitchell
Directed and Performed by BISS Grade 4 Students
This music video has an environmental message: reduce paper at school because trees are a finite resource. My class analyzed the words and videos of many songs. Joni Mitchell’s “Big Yellow Taxi” inspired us the most. I learned about persuasive language, filming techniques and editing. I hope you are inspired to save the trees.
Lips are movin'
Original Song, "Lips are Movin'" by Meghan Trainor
Directed and Performed by Annabel Richmond
This film is me performing a dance that I made up myself and also learned a bit from youtube. It is performed to ‘Lips are Movin’ by Meghan Trainor. It is one of my favourite songs. I made it using photobooth and iMovie. My mum helped a little with the editing but apart from that I made it on my own.
Mean
Original Song, "Mean'" by Talyor Swift
Directed by Alice Du
This is a music video for Taylor Swift’s song Mean from her Speak Now album. We have tried to express a feeling of loneliness and bullying of schools through it. It shows that everyone has more than one side to themselves that they could be bullied and be bullies while have big dreams to live in a big old city. We have also accomplished influencing people and taking action with this video, teaching people to accept others for who they are by having them learn this naturally.
