Chosen Location
We chose Hoan Kiem Lake because it is one of the most iconic places in Hanoi, and it attracts a lot of tourists from other countries. Our goal is to showcase the beauty of this place in our music video. Filming in the morning and evening will provide us with a beautiful view. Although this area can be crowded, we will aim to film during the time when people are going to work.
Hoan Kiem Lake
We want to have film scenes in this coffee shop because it's a crucial character room where he can express all his emotions. Furthermore, his room has a big window that overlooks the city, which is included in our storyboard, making it an ideal location. Additionally, his room represents a teenager's room, and it has good lighting.
Mien Man
Ngo Quyen street is a well-known street in Hanoi that features some luxury brands and hotels. I wish to include this street in our music video because it represents a blend of modernity and traditionalism that is unique to Hanoi. Despite being a modern location, Ngo Quyen still retains the traditional charm of Hanoi.
Ngo Quyen street
I stumbled upon Ocean Park recently and found it to be a great spot for nighttime drives. The street lights are still on late into the night and the lighting is excellent every day until midnight. In my opinion, it's a safe place to go for a drive scene

Our Digipack ( First Draft )
Our Ideas
- The primary color scheme we'd like to use is neon pink and black.
- The font cover should feature an image of the main character lying on his car at night, with the song title overlaid on top.
- It would be great if we could incorporate a storyboard background as well.
- Lastly, if there's enough space, we might also consider including the lyrics of the song.
-We are placing the CD in the center of the digipack, with a neon pink city background. We chose this background as it will be the final scene of our music video, and we want it to appear as the background of the CD."
We have included a scene of the couple's breakup in the digipack, with the CD placed in the middle to separate the two sides. This effectively portrays the theme of their separation, which is in contrast to the original picture where they were shown holding hands together.
Final Digipack
After some changes and idea with my teammate and we have decided this is our final digipack and we really happy about it After making some changes and discussing with my teammate, we have decided that this is our final digipack and we are really happy with it.

Fonts
 |  |  |  |
|---|
My teammate and I tried out several fonts to see which one would be the most suitable for the song title "Limbo". We experimented with different fonts using Adobe Photoshop, which has professional functions to create such products. This helped us to determine which font would be the most attractive and appealing to our target audience, which is teenagers.
This is the final fonts that we choose to put in every product relate to the production of the song "Limbo"

Gia Bach lip-syncing the song " Limbo"
My classmate, Gia Bach, has a great passion for media studies and is extremely talented. His favorite song is "Limbo," and therefore he has excellent knowledge of the lyrics and the melody. He lip-syncs the lyrics very clearly, and the most impressive thing about him is how he puts his emotions and feelings into the song. Gia Bach can be a very good choice for our main character
Jane
Jane is also my classmate in the media subject,she has a big passion for pop music . She has a good understanding of the lyrics of this song When lip syncing to the music, she has puts her emotions into it. However, since this song is sung by a male singer, we prefer a male character over a female one.

Thanh An
Our next choice is Thanh An who is my partner in this project. The reason we want to choose Thanh An as the main actor for this project is because this is his favorite song so it's also a perfect idea. He is the person that knows and understands the lyric pretty well and also the person who participate in this project so I think as an actor he will try his best to contribute and produce out high quality music video for the audience
