this is my weekly progress for our music video project
Week 1 : So in this week we started organizing the groups for our music video and our teacher told us the main idea and what the rules are for making the videos, my group is Bams and Maha although we only have 3 people, im sure we will work well as a team because we have chemistry
Week 2: In this week we learned about media ecology and 5 types of convergences and we also continued our music research and so far I've only did 2 so its a problem because i need to be more efficient with my time and not procrastinate since the due date is on thursday.
Week 3: In this week we were attacked by the genre research homework where we had to continue and there were many homeworks from other subjects too so this made me very stressed and i had to stay up late at night doing this challenging task
Week 4: this is the week where we actually started making progress on our project such as doing statement of intent, luckily all of my group was participating and putting effort into this so we got it done really fast, we also imagined all the scenes that were gonna be in the music video, this was the most fun part of our week where we get to vision each and every scene
Week 5: We started to learn about persona where we discussed about how artists creats a public persona to kind of create another identity of them which can attract more audience and tells a story. this week we also created a canva slide about persona where were gonna put in our blogs. i think that this week was a bit more calm since there was no disturbance from other subjects and i could put more focus on media studies and complete my work effortlessly.
Week 6: This week we only mostly did project lessons which are my favorite because i love imagining scenes. we started with our location scout and storyboards which we split that work between our members. and i was very happy that all of my group members were working hard and putting effort into our project and no one was slacking. We also did a unit assessment about Media ecology which i fortunately passed so i am very satisfied with that although my scores were not as good as the others.
Week 7: This week we did some project lessons like the simple ones such as finding out the brand identity for our artist and we did a poster with our groups
Reflection: Overall this term i am pretty full of knowledge beacuse we did so much theory lessons about music video and their theories. i think the only time i had a problem is on the unit test where i unfortunately failed, but i learned from m,y mistakes and try to do practices on my knowledge of media ecology.
Term 3
Week 1:
in this week discussed about theory of stardom and we also discuss the stars persona but we had some members missing, Maha has practice every single day so we couldn't really communicate with him. Mr nick also introduced us to making the soc med for our artists and the album cover, and we had a problem on what album cover we are gonna make since we did not have any video to visualize yet.
Week 2:
This week we learned the power & the media, and we did the post colonialism, but then again maha is absent most of the lesson so he didnt really caught any of it so we had to tell him and we also focused on our projects post production. we also did a little essay on power & the media, it was quite hard on my part because this theory was a little new but i adjusted and compromised
Week 3:
In this week we did 2 project lessons and one theory lesson, which is about death of the audience and shirky theory, we also did fandoms and Jenkins theory and for the project lesson we also did post production. I didn't really understand the theories at the start of the lesson but me and my friends tried discussing all the theories and we also did some brainstorming so everyone in the group understands, that is my solution
Week 4: This is the last week to submit the video and this week we did fully project lessons before submitting it on saturday. We mostly finalize the video and edit it to make it perfect, we are also missing maha on most of the lessons since he has football practice which is unfortunate. so our solution to Maha being absent is that we inform him everything that he missed in our own group chat.
Reflection: Overall i am pretty satsified with all the background work that me and my group was working on, we worked efficiently and we did all tasks on time which is very to look at since i had a very sloppy group previously but i think this group is perfect. we did all the pre production on time and we seperated the tasks equally. Although we had difficulties communicating with eachother because Bamz is in japan so its kind of frustrating. Luckily, Me, Maha and alex compromised and worked as hard as we can to get the work done
